>Note!
Freedom of motion can only be guaranteed
if the manufacturer's recommended
wheels and tyres are used. Other wheel
and tyre sizes may damage the braking
system.
>Note!
If wide tyres are fitted on vehicles
equipped with a diesel engine, the qualify
ing conditions for a 3litre car will not be
satisfied. In this case, the car's exemption
from road tax will be nullified.
>Note!
To maintain sufficient clearance between
wide tyres fitted at the front and the vehi
cle body, the technique used to fix the
front body panel has to be modified. The
professional work can be performed by
your qualified specialist workshop (e.g. a
smart center).
To ensure that the rear wheels are shield
ed as required by law, a modified fixing
technique is likewise used on the fortwo
cabrio. On the fortwo coupé, special black
trim elements are fitted on the wheel
arches.
