TYRES (1/4)
The tyres are the only contact between
the vehicle and the road, so it is essen-
tial to keep them in good condition.
You must make sure that your tyres
conform to local road traffic regulations.Maintaining the tyresThe tyres must be in good condition
and the tread form must have sufficient
depth; tyres approved by our Technical
Department have wear warning strips 1
that are indicators moulded into the
tread at several points.
When the tread has worn down to the
wear warning strips, these strips will
become visible: it is then necessary
to replace your tyres because the tread
rubber is now only 1.6 mm deep at
most, resulting in poor road holding
on wet roads.
An overloaded vehicle, long journeys –-
particularly in very hot weather – or fre-
quent driving on poorly surfaced minor
roads will lead to more rapid tyre wear
and affect safety.
Incidents which occur when
driving, such as striking the
kerb, may damage the tyres
and wheel rims, and could
also lead to misalignment of the
front or rear axle geometry. In this
case, have the condition of these
checked by an approved dealer.

The front and rear wheels have different dimensions. For safety reasons,
it is not permitted to switch the front wheels with the rear wheels.
