Vehicle care 1619 WarningIf the pressure is too low, this canresult in considerable tyre warm-up and internal damage, leading totread separation and even to tyreblow-out at high speeds.Tyre deflation detectionsystemThe tyre deflation detection systemcontinually checks the rotation speedof all four tyres.If a tyre loses pressure the controlindicator w illuminates red. Stopimmediately and check tyre pressure.Control indicator w 3 79.System initialisationAfter tyre pressure correction orwheel change, the system must beinitiated: Switch on the ignition, pressand hold the DDS button for approx.4 seconds, control indicator w flashesthree times.Tread depthCheck tread depth at regularintervals.Tyres should be replaced for safetyreasons at a tread depth of 2-3 mm (4mm for winter tyres).The legally permissible minimumtread depth (1.6 mm) has beenreached when the tread has worndown as far as one of the tread wearindicators (TWI). Their position isindicated by markings on thesidewall.If there is more wear at the front thanthe rear, swap round front wheels andrear wheels. Ensure that the directionof rotation of the wheels is the sameas before.Tyres age, even if they are not used.We recommend tyre replacementevery 6 years.
