14Wheels and tyres
Chapter overview
This chapter contains instructions regarding the tyres of the vehicle.
The instructions address the following topics:
z tyre selection
z handling of tyres
z changing wheels
z spare wheel support
z tyre pressure
At the end of the chapter there is a table you can use to find the correct tyre pres-
sure for your vehicle.
14.1 General
Note: Check the tyres regularly (every 2 weeks) for equal tread wear, tread depth and
external damage.
Replace tyres at the latest, when the minimum depth of tread stipulated by law
is reached.
Always use tyres of the same model, same brand and same type (summer and
winter tyres).
Only use tyres approved for the wheel rim type fitted. The permitted rim and
tyre sizes are specified in the vehicle documents and the authorised dealer or
service centre will always be glad to give you advice.
Run-in new tyres for approx. 100 km (60 miles) at low speed since only then do
they reach full strength.
X Check the tyre pressure before a journey and at 2-week intervals. Wrong tyre
pressure causes excessive wear and can lead to damage or even to tyre burst.
You can lose control of the vehicle.
X Check the tyre pressure and condition of the spare wheel at regular intervals.
Danger of accidents if a spare wheel that is no longer suitable for use is used!
Z Only check the tyre pressure on cold tyres.
Z Tubeless tyres are mounted on the vehicles. Never mount tubes in these tyres.
Z When using alloy wheel rims, snow chains should not be used.
Z In the case of a puncture, pull over to the side of the road. Make vehicle and car-
avan safe with a hazard warning triangle. Switch on the warning lights.
Z Tyres on vehicles with tandem axles may wear faster due to the characteristics
of the axle.
Z Tyres must not be older than 6 years as the material will become brittle over
time. The four-digit DOT number on the tyre flank indicates the date of manu-
facture. The first two digits designate the week, the last two digits the year of
manufacture.
Example: Week 15, year of manufacture 2009.
