Tire Traction
Tire Speed Rating
Parking
The safe speed on a wet, snow covered
or icy road is always lower than on a
dry road.
Your vehicle is factory equipped with
"H" -rated tires, which have a European
speed rating of 130 mph (210 km/h). An
electronic speed limiter prevents your
vehicle from exceeding the speed rating.
Warning!
To reduce the risk of personal injury
as a result of vehicle movement, before
turning off the engine and leaving the
vehicle always:
You should pay particular attention to
the condition of the road as soon as the
prevailing temperatures fall close to the
freezing point.
Despite the tire rating, local speed limits
should be obeyed. Use prudent driving
speeds appropriate to prevailing
conditions.

Keep foot on brake pedal.
Firmly depress parking brake
pedal.
Engage first or reverse gear
(selector lever position "P" in the
case of automatic transmissions).
Slowly release brake pedal.
Turn front wheels towards the
road curb,
Turn the key to steering lock
position 0 and remove.
Take your key and lock vehicle
when leaving.
Warning!
3.
If ice has formed on the road, tire
traction will be substantially
reduced. Under such weather
conditions, drive, steer and brake
with extreme caution.
Warning!
Even when permitted by law, never
operate a vehicle at speeds greater
than the maximum speed rating of
the tires.

We recommend M+S rated radial-ply
tires for the winter season for all four
wheels to insure normal balanced
handling characteristics.
Exceeding the maximum speed for
which tires are rated can lead to
sudden tire failure causing loss of
vehicle control and resulting in
personal injury and possible death.
Important!
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.
It is advisable to set the parking brake
whenever parking or leaving the vehicle.
In addition, engage first or reverse gear
(selector lever position "P").
When parking on hills, always set the
parking brake.
