Wheel balance

The wheels of a new vehicle are balanced. When driving, however, there are a

range of factors that may result in an imbalance. This may become apparent by

a “vibration” in the steering. If this is the case, have the wheels checked by a

specialist garage.

Have the wheels likewise rebalanced after replacing the tyres.

Setting the vehicle geometry

Incorrect wheel alignment at the front or rear leads to excess wear on the

tyres and impairs driving safety. With a distinctive tyre wear, we recommend

that you check the setting of the vehicle geometry in a specialist workshop.

WARNING

■

An incorrect wheel alignment at the front or rear impairs handling.

■

Unusual vibrations or pulling of the vehicle to one side could be a sign of

tyre damage. If there is any suspicion that a wheel is damaged, immediately

reduce your speed and stop! If no external tyre damage is evident, drive

slowly and carefully to the nearest specialist garage to have the vehicle

checked.

Tyre wear indicator and wheels exchange

wheels

Read and observe on page 152 first.

Wear indicators

The base of the tread of the tyres contains has a 1.6 mm high wear indica-

tor » Fig. 134 -



. In some countries, different tyre wear rates may apply.



Markings on the walls of the tyres through the letters “TWI”, triangular sym-

bols or other symbols identify the position of the wear indicators.

Exchanging the wheels

For uniform wear on all tyres, we recommend that you change the wheels ev-

ery 10 000 km according to the scheme » Fig. 134-



. You will then obtain ap-

proximately the same life for all the tyres.

After a wheel has been replaced, the tyre pressure has to be adjusted.

In vehicles with tyre pressure monitoring, tyre pressure values are to be stor-

ed » page 119.

WARNING

■

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

vehicle movement – “swimming” on a wet road surface).

Tyre damage

Read and observe

on page 152 first.

We recommend checking your tyres and wheel rims for damage (punctures,

cuts, splits and bulges, etc.) on a regular basis. Remove foreign bodies (e.g.

small stones) from the tyre tread immediately.

Drive over kerbs and other such obstacles slowly and at right angles wherever

possible in order to avoid damage to tyres and wheel trims.

Immediately replace damaged wheel rims or tyres.

WARNING

Never drive with damaged tyres – there is the risk of an accident occurring.

CAUTION

The tyres must be protected from contact with substances such as oil, grease

and fuel, which could damage them. If the tyres come into contact with these

substances, then we recommend you have this checked out in a specialist

workshop.
