Requirements/information on removing/mounting tires
Information:
^
Tire temperature during removal/mounting must be approx. 20°C (at least 15°C). Allow enough time to heat the vehicle/tires in a suitable
environment if necessary (at room temperature of more than 15°C). Example: If the room temperature of the workshop is approx. 20°C and the
tire temperature is approx. - 15°C, approx. 3 hours are required to heat the tires to the required temperature.
^
Before removal/mounting, it is important to establish whether a Tire Pressure Monitoring system (TPM) is fitted! The tire valve serves as the
distinguishing feature. Without TPM: rubber valve. With TPM: aluminum valve. If a TPM system is fitted, read the special information on the
Tire Pressure Monitoring system (see module in this main chapter).

Vehicles with TPM: Before changing a tire, read out the remaining life span of the wheel electronics unit (battery capacity) using the PIWIS
