steering-wheel position when driving straight ahead. It must be borne in mind here that the perception of the driver can deviate from the actual horizontal
position of the steering wheel. This deviation mainly depends on the design and installation tolerances of the dashboard, operating levers etc.

Notes on reading the DOT number

The DOT (Department of Transportation) number indicates the date of manufacture of the tyre. The following examples explain how to read the DOT
number.

DOT 016 - here, three digits without additional marking (1980s) -01 indicates the calendar week in which the tyre was manufactured. 6 indicates the year
of manufacture, in this case 1986.

DOT 128< - here, three digits with arrow mark (1990s) -12 indicates the calendar week in which the tyre was manufactured. 8< indicates the year of
manufacture, in this case 1998.

Tyres as of date of manufacture week 01 in the year 2000 have a four-digit DOT number. DOT 0100 (see illustration) indicates that the tyre was
manufactured in the 1st calendar week of 2000.
