Specified tire pressures must be maintained. This

applies particularly if the tires are subjected to high

loads (e.g. high speeds, heavy loads, high ambient

temperatures).

Aquaplaning

Depending on the depth of the water layer on the road,

aquaplaning may occur, even at low speeds and with

new tires. Reduce vehicle speed, avoid track grooves in

the road and apply brakes cautiously in the rain.

Tire traction

The safe speed on a wet, snow covered or icy road is

always lower than on a dry road.

You should pay particular attention to the condition of

the road whenever the outside temperatures are close to

the freezing point.

We recommend M+S rated radial-ply tires for the winter

season for all four wheels to insure normal balanced

handling characteristics. On packed snow, they can

reduce your stopping distance as compared with

summer tires. Stopping distance, however, is still

considerably greater than when the road is not snow or

ice covered.

Warning!

Do not drive with a flat tire. A flat tire affects the

ability to steer or brake the vehicle. You may lose

control of the vehicle. Continued driving with a flat

tire or driving at high speed with a flat tire will

cause excessive heat build-up and possibly a fire.

Warning!

If ice has formed on the road, tire traction will be

substantially reduced. Under such weather

conditions, drive, steer and brake with extreme

caution.
