Pay attention to the specifications for
tires and wheels in the vehicle's docu-
ments. If sizes not approved by the
manufacturer are mounted, an entry in
the vehicle's documents may be neces-
sary. Comply with local legislation.
Snow chains*
For tires on 17-inch wheels, it is not
possible to mount snow chains.
The use of rims and wheel bolts
that do not meet the specifica-
tions of the original factory-installed
equipment will affect the safe operation
of your vehicle and may cause an acci-
dent and personal injury.
Never mix tires of different design, such
as steel-belted radials with radial bias-
belted or bias-ply tires, etc. Mixing tire
types will adversely affect roadholding
and can lead to loss of vehicle con-
trol.<
