Vehicle care 325

Note

Check inflation pressure when

tyres are cold. Warm tyres produce

inaccurate readings. Tyres can

become warm after you have

driven more than one mile (1.6km)

and stay warm for up to three

hours after vehicle has been

sitting.

Tire pressure monitoring

system

The tyre pressure monitoring system

checks the pressure of all four

wheels once per minute when

vehicle speed exceeds a certain

limit.

All wheels must be equipped with

pressure sensors and the tyres must

have the prescribed pressure. If

wheels without sensors are mounted,

the tyre pressure monitoring system

is not operational. Retrofitting of

sensors is possible.

Tread depth

Check tread depth at regular

intervals.

Tires should be replaced for safety

reasons at a tread depth of 2-3 mm

(4 mm for winter tires).

MD144

The legally permissible minimum

tread depth (1.6 mm) has been

reached when the tread has worn

down as far as one of the tread wear

indicators (TWI). Their position is

indicated by markings on the

sidewall.

If there is more wear at the front than

the rear, swap round front wheels

and rear wheels. Ensure that the

direction of rotation of the wheels is

the same as before.

{Warning

If the pressure is too low, this can

result in considerable tire warmup

and internal damage, leading to

tread separation and even to tire

blow-out at high speeds.
