WARNING
The national legal regulations must be observed for the use of tyres.
Observe the national legal regulations relating to the use of snow chains
and the maximum vehicle speed with snow chains.
WARNING
The following instructions for the use of tyres must be observed.
For the first 500 km, new tyres do not yet provide optimum grip, and appro-
priate care should therefore be taken when driving – risk of accident!
Only use radial tyres of the same type, size (rolling circumference) and tread
pattern on all four wheels.
For reasons of driving safety, do not replace tyres individually.
Never exceed the maximum permissible load bearing capacity for the tyres
fitted – there is a risk of an accident!
Never exceed the maximum permissible speed for the tyres fitted – there is
a risk of an accident.
Incorrect wheel alignment at the front or rear impairs handling – risk of acci-
dent!
WARNING (Continued)
Unusual vibrations or pulling of the vehicle to one side could be a sign of
tyre damage. If there is any doubt that a wheel is damaged, immediately re-
duce your speed and stop! If no external damage is evident, drive slowly and
carefully to the nearest specialist garage to have the vehicle checked.
Only use tyres or wheel rims that have been approved by ŠKODA for your
model of vehicle. Failure to observe this instruction may impair the road safety
of your vehicle – risk of accident!
WARNING
Observe the following information regarding tyre damage and wear.
Never use tyres if you do not know anything about the condition and age.
Never drive with damaged tyres – risk of accident!
Immediately replace damaged wheel rims or tyres.
You must have your tyres replaced with new ones at the latest when the
wear indicators have been worn down.
Worn tyres impair necessary adhesion to the road surface, particularly at
high speeds on wet roads. This could lead to “aquaplaning” (uncontrolled ve-
hicle movement – “swimming” on a wet road surface).
WARNING
Observe the following information regarding the tyre inflation pressure.
The tyre control display does not absolve the driver of the responsibility to
ensure the correct tyre inflation pressure. Check the tyre inflation pressure at
regular intervals.
Insufficient or excessive inflation pressure impairs handling – risk of acci-
dent!
If the inflation pressure is too low, the tyre will have to overcome a higher
rolling resistance. This will cause a significant increase in the temperature of
the tyre, especially at higher speeds. This can result in tread separation and a
tyre blowout.
