460_OM_MY09.book Page 212 Wednesday, April 2, 2008 10:32 AM 212 Car care Tyre date code Tyres should be considered as perishable goods. As they age, they become progressively harder, resulting in deteriorating road grip. This is particularly marked for winter tyres. Tyres have a code that specifies their date of manufacture. The first two digits denote the week number and the last two digits the year followed by a filled triangle. Tyres’ direction of rotation Direction of rotation is important for most types of tyre. These tyres have a marking on the sidewall. The marking can be made up of the text "Tyre rotation" together with an arrow or the text "Facing out". The tyre must have the same direction of rotation for its entire service life. Wear indicator The tyres incorporate so-called wear indicators. When treadless bands appear across the width of the tyre surface, only 1.6 mm of tread pattern remains. This indicates that the tyre should be changed. Make sure you are familiar with the legal limit for minimum tread depth in your country and also any regulations governing the use of winter tyres.
460_OM_MY09.book Page 213 Wednesday, April 2, 2008 10:32 AM Automatic tyre pressure monitoring 3 WARNING The system is an aid to the driver. The driver always has the responsibility that the tyres have the correct air pressure. Never use the system to assist with tyre pressure reading when adjusting tyre pressures. Wear indicator For optimum safety, economy and comfort tyre pressures should be checked regularly even if the automatic tyre pressure monitoring has not alarmed. The system consists of a sensor in each wheel and a common receiver. The sensors are located inside the tyre in direct connection with the air pressure valves. Make sure that wheels with sensors for tyre pressure monitoring are fitted during replacement if the car has automatic tyre pressure monitoring. NOTICE Tyre replacement must take place with great care to avoid damaging the sensors that are built together with the valves. • Remove the rear side first. • Start to remove the tyre opposite the valve. • During removal the tyre machine must not come closer than ±10° from the valve. • During fitting, start 20° after the valve and finish at the latest 20° before the valve. • Do not inflate the tyre with pressure higher than 7 bar (102 psi). Tyre pressure information is transmitted wireless to the receiver. The system checks the tyre pressures when speed exceeds 30 km/h. The system is self-programming which means that the wheels can be shifted around without any need for adjustment. The spare wheel has no sensor. Valve with sensor Car care 213 The sensor batteries last for 10 years or around 160 000 km. The battery cannot be replaced. The whole sensor must be replaced. The system does not warn if the tyre pressure is too high. If the system has warned or triggered an alarm due to inadequate pressure then the pressure must be reset to the recommended pressure so that the warning/alarm is cleared.
