Wheels and tyres

Tyre condition, wheel condition

Drive over edges slowly and at right

angles if possible. Driving over sharp

edges can cause tyre and wheel

damage. Do not trap tyres on the kerb

when parking.
Regularly check the wheels for

damage. Seek the assistance of a

workshop in the event of damage or

unusual wear.

Winter tyres

Winter tyres improve driving safety at

temperatures below 7 °C and should

therefore be fitted on all wheels.
In accordance with country-specific

regulations, affix the speed sticker in

the driver's field of view, if the tyre

speed code is below the maximum

speed of the vehicle.
All tyre sizes are permitted as winter

tyres

283.

Tyre designations

E.g. 195/65 R 15 91 T
195 : tyre width, mm

65 : cross-section ratio (tyre height

to tyre width), %

: belt type: Radial

RF : type: RunFlat

15 : wheel diameter, inches

91 : load index e.g. 95 is equivalent

to 615 kg

: speed code letter

Speed code letter:
Q : up to 100 mph

S : up to 112 mph

T : up to 118 mph

H : up to 130 mph

V : up to 150 mph

W : up to 168 mph
Choose a tyre appropriate for the

maximum speed of this vehicle. Refer

to the EEC Certificate of Conformity

provided with the vehicle or other

national registration documents.

Optional equipment could reduce the

maximum speed of the vehicle.

250

Vehicle care

Directional tyres

Directional tyres should be mounted

so that they rotate in the correct

direction. The proper rotation

direction is indicated by a symbol

(e.g. an arrow) on the sidewall.

Tyre pressure

Check the pressure of cold tyres at

least every 14 days and before any

long journey.
Do not forget the spare wheel.

The tyre pressure information label

on the left door frame indicates the

original equipment tyres and the

correspondent tyre pressures.
The tyre pressure data refers to cold

tyres. It applies to summer and winter

tyres.
Always inflate the spare tyre to the

pressure specified for full load.
The ECO tyre pressure serves to

achieve the smallest amount of fuel

consumption possible.
Incorrect tyre pressures will impair

safety, vehicle handling, comfort and

fuel economy and will increase tyre

wear.
The tyre pressure table indicates the

required pressure for a specific tyre

size only and shows all possible tyre

combinations

283.

For the tyres approved for this

vehicle, refer to the EEC Certificate of

Conformity provided with the vehicle

or other national registration

documents.
The driver is responsible for correct

adjustment of tyre pressure.

Warning

If the pressure is too low, this can

result in considerable tyre warm-

up and internal damage, leading to

tread separation and even to tyre

blow-out at high speeds.

Warning

For specific tyres the

recommended tyre pressure as

shown in the tyre pressure table

may exceed the maximum tyre

pressure as indicated on the tyre.

Never exceed the maximum tyre

pressure as indicated on the tyre.

Temperature dependency

The tyre pressure depends on the

temperature of the tyre. During

driving, tyre temperature and

pressure increase. Tyre pressure

values provided on the tyre

information label and tyre pressure

chart are valid for cold tyres, which

means at 20 °C.

Vehicle care

251

The pressure increases by nearly

1.5 psi for a 10 °C temperature

increase. This must be considered

when warm tyres are checked.

Tyre deflation detection

system

The tyre deflation detection system

continually checks the rotation speed

of all four wheels and warns on low

tyre pressure condition once vehicle

is driving. This is achieved by

comparing tyre rolling circumference

with reference values and further

signals.
If a tyre loses pressure the control

indicator

illuminates and a warning

message is displayed in the Driver

Information Centre.
Control indicator

74.

In this case reduce speed, avoid

sharp cornering and strong braking.

Stop at next safe opportunity and

check tyre pressure.
After adjusting tyre pressure initialise

system to extinguish the control

indicator and restart system.

If the failure continues to be

displayed, contact a workshop. The

system is inoperable when ABS or

ESC has a malfunction or a

temporary spare wheel is used. Once

the road tyre has been refitted, check

the tyre pressure with cold tyres and

initialise the system.

Caution

Deflation detection system warns

just about low tyre pressure

condition and does not replace

regular tyre maintenance by the

driver.

System initialisation

After tyre pressure correction or

wheel change, the system must be

initialised to learn new circumference

reference values:

1. Always ensure that all four tyres

have correct tyre pressure

283.

2. Apply parking brake.

3. Initialise the system via the Info

Display

79.

4. Reset is confirmed by pop-up

indication.

After initialisation system

automatically calibrates to new tyre

pressures during driving. After longer

drive the system will adopt and

monitor new pressures.
Always check tyre pressure with cold

tyres.
System has to be reinitialised when:

● Tyre pressure has been changed
● Load condition has been

changed

● Wheels have been swapped or

exchanged

The system will not warn

instantaneously on a tyre blow out or

a rapid deflation. This is due to

required calculation time.

Tread depth

Check tread depth at regular

intervals.

252

Vehicle care

For safety reasons, it is

recommended that the tread depth of

the tyres on one axle should not vary

by more than 2 mm.

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 periodically. If directional

tyres are mounted, ensure that the

direction of rotation of the wheels

remains the same.

Tyres age, even if they are not used.

We recommend tyre replacement

every 6 years.

Changing tyre and wheel

size

If tyres of a different size than those

fitted at the factory are used, it may be

necessary to reprogramme systems

and make other vehicle modifications.
Have the label with tyre pressures

replaced.

Warning

The use of unsuitable tyres or

wheels may lead to accidents and

will invalidate the vehicle

operating permit.

Wheel covers

Wheel covers and tyres that are

factory approved for the respective

vehicle and comply with all of the

relevant wheel and tyre combination

requirements must be used.

If the wheel covers and tyres used are

not factory approved, the tyres must

not have a rim protection ridge.
Wheel covers must not impair brake

cooling.

Warning

Use of unsuitable tyres or wheel

covers could lead to sudden

pressure loss and thereby

accidents.

Vehicles with steel wheels: When

using locking wheel nuts, do not

attach wheel covers.

Vehicle care

253

Tyre chains

Tyre chains are only permitted on the

front wheels.
Always use fine mesh chains that add

no more than 10 mm to the tyre tread

and the inboard sides (including chain

lock).

Warning

Damage may lead to tyre blowout.

Tyre chains are only permitted on

tyres of size 195/65 R15 91 and

195/60 R16 89

Temporary spare wheel

The use of tyre chains is not permitted

on the temporary spare wheel.

Tyre repair kit

Minor damage to the tyre tread 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 tyre's sidewall cannot be repaired

with the tyre repair kit.
Depending on version, there are two

different tyre repair kits (Type A and

Type B).

Warning

Do not drive faster than 50 mph.
Do not use for a lengthy period.
Steering and handling may be

affected.

In the case of a flat tyre:
Apply the parking brake and engage

first gear, reverse gear or P.

Ensure to use always the correct

wheel bolts if changing the

wheels. When installing the spare

wheel for temporary usage, the

bolts for alloy wheel rims can also

be used.

Make the following preparations and

observe the following information:

● Park the vehicle on a level, firm

and non-skid surface. The front

wheels must be in the straight-

ahead position.

● If necessary, place a chock under

the wheel diagonally opposite the

wheel to be changed.

● Apply the parking brake and

engage first gear, reverse gear or

● If the ground on which the vehicle

is standing is soft, a solid board

(max. 1 cm thick) should be

placed under the jack.

Vehicle care

257

● Take heavy objects out of the

vehicle before jacking up.

● No people or animals may be in

the vehicle when it is jacked-up.

● Never crawl under a jacked-up

vehicle.

● Do not start the vehicle when it is

raised on the jack.

● Before screwing in the wheel

bolts, clean them.

Warning

Do not grease wheel bolts.

Tightening torques

Caution

If the vehicle is equipped with alloy

wheel rims, tighten the wheel bolts

manually at least for the first five

turns.

Depending on the wheel rim, different

bolts with different tightening torques

are available.

Use the correct wheel bolts for the

respective wheels. The wheel rims

shown are only examples.

● For alloy wheel rims:

Tightening torque for alloy wheel

rims is 100 Nm.

● For steel wheel rims:

Tightening torque for

conventional steel wheel rims is

110 Nm.

258

Vehicle care

Tightening torque for designed

steel wheel rims is 130 Nm.

Jacking positions

The jacking positions shown refer to

the use of lifting arms and accessory

jacks used for changing winter /

summer tyres.

The rear arm position of the lifting

platform is centrically under the

relevant vehicle jacking point.

The front arm position of the lifting

platform is centrically under the

relevant vehicle jacking point.

Spare wheel

The spare wheel can be classified as

a temporary spare wheel depending

on the size compared to the other

mounted wheels and country

regulations. In this case a permissible

maximum speed applies, even

though no label at the spare wheel

indicates this.
If there is a label on the spare wheel,

the permissible speed still depends

on the country regulations.

Only mount one temporary spare

wheel. Take curves slowly. Do not

use for a long period of time.

Caution

The use of a spare wheel that is

smaller than the other wheels or in

combination with winter tyres

could affect driveability. Have the

defective tyre replaced as soon as

possible.

Caution

If driving with a temporary spare

wheel, active emergency braking

has to deactivated.

Vehicle care

259

The spare wheel is located in the load

compartment beneath the floor

covering.
To remove:

1. Open the floor cover.
2. The spare wheel is secured with a

wing nut. Unscrew nut and take

out the spare wheel.
There is a box with tools in the

right wall of the load

compartment.

3. If, after a wheel change, no wheel

is placed in the spare wheel well,

fasten the wing nut and close the

floor cover.

4. After a wheel change back to a full

size wheel, place the spare wheel

outside up in the well and secure

with the wing nut.

Fitting the spare wheel

Make the following preparations and

observe the following information:

● Park the vehicle on a level, firm

and non-skid surface. The front

wheels must be in the straight-

ahead position.

● If necessary, place a chock under

the wheel diagonally opposite the

wheel to be changed.

● Apply the parking brake and

engage first gear, reverse gear or

● Remove the spare wheel.
● Never change more than one

wheel at once.

● Use the jack only to change

wheels in case of puncture, not

for seasonal winter or summer

tyre change.

● The jack is maintenance-free.
● If the ground on which the vehicle

is standing is soft, a solid board

(max. 1 cm thick) should be

placed under the jack.

● Take heavy objects out of the

vehicle before jacking up.

● No people or animals may be in

the vehicle when it is jacked-up.

● Never crawl under a jacked-up

vehicle.

● Do not start the vehicle when it is

raised on the jack.

● Before screwing in the wheel

bolts, clean them.

Warning

Do not grease wheel bolts.

Vehicle care

Warning

Ensure to use always the correct

wheel bolts if changing the

wheels. When installing the spare

wheel for temporary usage, the

bolts for alloy wheel rims can also

be used.

● Note that the spare wheel is

secured by the conical contact of

each bolt if the wheel bolts for the

alloy wheel rims are used. In this

case, the washers do not come

into contact with the spare wheel.

1. Disengage wheel bolt caps with a

screwdriver and remove.

Steel wheel rims: Pull off the

wheel cover.
Alloy wheel rims: Disengage

wheel bolt caps with a screwdriver

and remove. To protect the wheel,

place a soft cloth between the

screwdriver and the alloy wheel.

2. Attach the wheel wrench and

loosen each wheel bolt by half a

turn.
The wheels might be protected by

locking wheel bolts. To loosen

these specific bolts, first attach

the adapter for the locking wheel

bolts onto the head of the bolt

before installing the wheel

wrench. The adapter is located in

the glovebox or in the load

compartment under the rear floor

cover.

3. Ensure the jack is correctly

positioned under the relevant

vehicle jacking point.
