Optionally, tires with a maximum speed of
over 149 mph (240 km/h) may have "ZR" in the
size description, depending on the manufac-
turer (e.g. 245/40 ZR 18).
Rim diameter: rim diameter ? is the diam-
eter of the bead seat, not the diameter of the
rim flange. The rim diameter is specified in
inches (in).
Load-bearing index: load-bearing index A
is a numerical code that specifies the maxi-
mum load-bearing capacity of a tire.
Do not overload the tires by exceeding the
specified load limit. The maximum permis-
sible load can be found on the vehicle's Tire
and Loading Information placard on the
B-pillar on the driver's side (
Y
page 185).
Example:
Load-bearing index 91 indicates a maximum
load of 1,356 lb (615 kg) that the tires can bear.
For further information on the maximum tire
load in kilograms and lbs, see (
Y
page 193).
For further information on the load bearing
index, see "Load index" (
Y
page 193).
Speed rating: speed rating B specifies the
approved maximum speed of the tire.
i
Tire data is vehicle-specific and may
deviate from the data in the example.
Regardless of the speed rating, always
observe the speed limits. Drive carefully and
adapt your driving style to the traffic con-
ditions.

Optionally, tires with a maximum speed of
over 149 mph (240 km/h) may have "ZR" in the
size description, depending on the manu-
facturer (e.g. 245/40 ZR18).
The service specification is made up of
load-bearing index A and speed rating
B.
R
If the size description of your tire
includes "ZR" and there are no service
specifications, ask the tire manufacturer
in order to find out the maximum speed.
If a service specification is available, the
maximum speed is limited according to the
speed rating in the service specification.
Example: 245/40 ZR18 97 Y. In this example,
"97 Y" is the service specification. The
letter "Y" represents the speed rating. The
maximum speed of the tire is limited to
186 mph (300 km/h).
R
The size description for all tires with
maximum speeds of over 186 mph (300 km/h)
must include "ZR", and the service speci-
fication must be given in parentheses.
Example: 275/40 ZR 18 (99 Y). Speed rating
"(Y)" indicates that the maximum speed of
the tire is over 186 mph (300 km/h). Ask the
tire manufacturer about the maximum
speed.

An electronic speed limiter prevents your
vehicle from exceeding a speed of 130 mph
(210 km/h).
The speed rating of tires mounted at the fac-
tory may be higher than the maximum speed
that the electronic speed limiter permits.
Make sure that your tires have the required
speed rating, e.g. when buying new tires. The
required speed rating for your vehicle can be
found in the "Tires" section (
Y
page 200).
Further information about reading tire data
can be obtained from any qualified special-
ist workshop.
Load index
In addition to the load-bearing index, load
rating : may also be imprinted on the side-
wall of the tire. This is located after the let-
ters that identify the speed rating

DOT, Tire Identification Number (TIN)
U.S tire regulations prescribe that every tire
manufacturer or retreader must imprint a TIN
in or on the sidewall of every tire produced.
The TIN is a unique identification number.
The TIN enables the tire manufacturers or
retreaders to inform purchasers of recalls
and other safety-relevant matters. It makes it
possible for the purchaser to easily identify
the affected tires.
The TIN is made up of manufacturer identi-
fication code ;, tire size =, tire type
code ? and manufacturing date A.

This is the part of the wheel on which the tire
is mounted.
GAWR (Gross Axle Weight Rating)
The GAWR is the maximum gross axle weight
rating. The actual load on an axle must never
exceed the gross axle weight rating. The
gross axle weight rating can be found on the
vehicle identification plate on the B-pillar
on the driver's side.
Speed rating
The speed rating is part of the tire identi-
fication. It specifies the speed range for
which the tire is approved.
GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight)
The gross vehicle weight includes the weight
of the vehicle including fuel, tools, the spare
wheel, accessories installed, occupants, lug-
gage and the drawbar noseweight, if appli-
cable. The gross vehicle weight must not
exceed the gross vehicle weight rating GVWR
as specified on the vehicle identification

equipment
Kilopascal (kPa)
Metric unit for tire pressure. 6.9 kPa corre-
sponds to 1 psi. Another unit for tire pressure
is bar. 100 kilopascals (kPa) are the equiva-
lent of 1 bar.
Load index
In addition to the load-bearing index, the
load index may also be imprinted on the side-
wall of the tire. This specifies the load-
bearing capacity more precisely.
Curb weight
The weight of a vehicle with standard equip-
ment including the maximum capacity of fuel,
oil and coolant. It also includes the air-con-
ditioning system and optional equipment if
these are installed in the vehicle, but does

Changing a wheel
Flat tire
You can find information on what to do in the
event of a flat tire in the "Flat tire" section
(
Y
page 161).
Rotating the wheels
G
WARNING
Never interchange the front and rear wheels
as they have different dimensions, e.g.
size, wheel offset etc. Otherwise, there
could be a negative effect on the road hold-
ing and you could endanger yourself or oth-
ers.
!
On vehicles equipped with a tire pressure
monitor, electronic components are loca-
ted in the wheel.
Tire-mounting tools should not be used
near the valve. This could damage the elec-
tronic components.
Only have tires changed at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop.
Various types of steel wheel can be fitted on
your vehicle. Some steel wheels have a red
mark in the hub cap area. The hub cap has to be
removed to see the red mark, see "Raising the
vehicle" in the "Wheel change" section
(
Y
page 197). When changing the wheels,
always fit wheels of the same type on all axles.
Always pay attention to the instructions and
safety notes when changing a wheel
(
Y
page 196).
The wear patterns on the front and rear tires
differ, depending on the operating condi-
tions. Front tires typically wear more on the
shoulders and the rear tires in the center.
Clean the contact surfaces of the wheel and
the brake disc thoroughly every time a wheel
is rotated. Check the tire pressure and reac-
tivate the tire pressure monitor if necessary.

Direction of rotation
Tires with a specified direction of rotation
have additional benefits, e.g. if there is a
risk of hydroplaning. These advantages can
only be gained if the tires are fitted corre-
sponding to the direction of rotation.
An arrow on the sidewall of the tire indicates
its correct direction of rotation.
Storing wheels
Store wheels that are not being used in a cool,
dry and preferably dark place. Protect the
tires from oil, grease, gasoline and diesel.

Wheel and tire combinations
General notes
!
For safety reasons, smart recommends that
you only use tires and wheels which have
been specifically approved by smart for
your vehicle. These are specially adapted
to the control systems, such as ABS or ESP
®
.
Only use tires and wheels specifically tes-
ted and approved by smart. Certain char-
acteristics, e.g. handling, vehicle noise
emissions or fuel consumption, may other-
wise be adversely affected. In addition,
when driving with a load, dimensional var-
iations and different tire deformation
characteristics could cause the tires to
make contact with the bodywork and axle
components. This could result in damage to
the tires or the vehicle.

smart accepts no liability for damage
resulting from the use of tires or wheels
other than those tested and approved.
Information on wheels and tires can be
obtained at a qualified specialist work-
shop, e.g. a smart center.
!
Retreaded tires have not been tested by
smart and are not recommended. Previous
damage sustained by the tires (before the
retreading process) cannot always be rec-
ognized. As a result, smart cannot guaran-
tee vehicle safety if retreaded tires are
fitted.
Overview of abbreviations used in the fol-
lowing tire tables:
R
BA: both axles
R
FA: front axle
R
RA: rear axle

R
in the tire pressure table on the inside of
the fuel filler flap
Observe the notes on recommended tire pres-
sures under various operating conditions
(
Y
page 180).
Check tire pressures regularly, and only when
the tires are cold. Comply with the mainte-
nance recommendations of the tire manufac-
turer in the vehicle document wallet.
Notes on the vehicle equipment – always
equip the vehicle with:
R
tires of the same size on a given axle (left/
right)
R
with the same type of tires on all wheels at
a given time (summer tires, winter tires)
Exception: it is permissible to fit a dif-
ferent type or make in the event of a flat

The following pages contain information
on approved wheel rim and tire sizes for
equipping your vehicle with winter tires.
Winter tires are not available at the fac-
tory as standard equipment or optional
extras.
If you want to equip your vehicle with
approved winter tires, it may be necessary
to obtain wheel rims in the corresponding
size. The size of the approved winter tires
may differ from the standard tires. This is
dependent on the model and the equipment
installed at the factory.
The tires and wheel rims, as well as further
information, can be obtained at a quali-
fied specialist workshop.

The data stated here specifically refers
to a vehicle with standard equipment. Con-
sult a smart center for the data for all vehi-
cle variants and trim levels.
Vehicle electronics
Retrofitting two-way radios and
mobile phones (RF transmitters)
G
WARNING
The electromagnetic radiation from modi-
fied or incorrectly retrofitted RF-trans-
mitters can interfere with the vehicle
electronics. This can compromise the
operational safety of the vehicle. There is
a risk of an accident.
You should have all work to electrical and
electronic equipment carried out at a
qualified specialist workshop.
G
WARNING
The electromagnetic radiation from incor-
rectly operated RF transmitters can inter-
fere with the vehicle electronics, for
example:
R
if the RF transmitter is not connected
with an exterior antenna
R
the exterior antenna has been installed
incorrectly or is not a low-reflection
type
This can compromise the operational safety
of the vehicle. There is a risk of an acci-
dent.
Have the low-reflection exterior antenna
mounted at a qualified specialist work-
shop. When operating RF transmitters in
the vehicle, always connect them with the
low-reflection exterior antenna.
!
The operating permit may be invalidated
if the instructions for installation and use
of RF transmitters are not observed.
In particular, the following conditions
must be complied with:
R
only approved wavebands may be used.
R
compliance with the maximum permissi-
ble output in these wavebands is
required.
R
only approved antenna positions may be
used.
Excessive levels of electromagnetic radia-
tion may cause damage to your health and the
health of others. Using an exterior antenna
takes into account current scientific discus-
sions relating to the possible health hazards
that may result from electromagnetic fields.
The following antenna positions may be used
if RF transmitters have been properly instal-
led:

when retrofitting RF transmitters (Road
Vehicles - EMC guidelines for installation of
aftermarket radio frequency transmitting
equipment). Observe the legal requirements
for retrofittings.
If your vehicle has fittings for two-way radio
equipment, use the power supply or antenna
connections intended for use with the basic
wiring. Be sure to observe the manufacturer's
additional instructions when installing.
Deviations with respect to wavebands, maxi-
mum transmission outputs or antenna posi-
tions must be approved by smart.
