Vehicle care1839Warning
Use of unsuitable tyres or wheel
covers could lead to sudden
pressure loss and thereby
accidents.
Tyre chains
Tyre chains are only permitted on the
front wheels.
They must be fitted to the tyres
symmetrically in order to achieve a
concentric fit.
Always use fine mesh chains that add no more than 15 mm to the tyre tread
and the inboard sides (including chain lock).9 Warning
Damage may lead to tyre blowout.
Tyre chains are permitted only on
16 inch wheels. We recommend you consult a workshop.
If the use of tyre chains is required
after suffering a flat front tyre, fit the
temporary spare wheel on the rear
axle and transfer one of the rear
wheels to the front axle.
General
The use of tyre chains is not permitted on the temporary spare wheel.
Tyre repair kit
Minor damage to the tyre tread or
sidewall can be repaired with the tyre
repair kit.
Do not remove foreign bodies from
the tyres.
Tyre damage exceeding 4 mm or that
is at the tyre's sidewall near the rim
cannot be repaired with the tyre repair kit.
In vehicles with a tyre repair kit, there may not be a jack and vehicle tool kit.
Vehicle tools 3 175.
Temporary spare wheel 3 189.9 Warning

compartment below the floor cover in the load compartment.

Screw in the towing eye as far as it will
go until it stops in a horizontal

the bumper or front suspension units.
Do not tow the vehicle from the rear.
The front towing eye must only be
used for towing and not recovering a
