 The friction on the front wheels will be
reduced.
 Steering stability will be reduced.
 Breaking distance will increase.
 If your lights rise you will blend oncoming
traffic
 In addition, you risk fines or penalty, and
“sperrefrist” (means you have to wait 6-24
months until you can start driver training)
What will be the consequences
if you run a too heavy trailer
for the car?

 With a class B driving license you can drive a car and
trailer with GVW not more than 3500 kg.
◦ Exception: If the car you drive has a gross weight up to 3500 kg,
you can still tow a trailer of up to 750 kg GVW. So the absolute
maximum permissible gross combination weight being 4250 kg.

brake you also check that the warning lamp for dual-
circuit brake system works.
 If the warning light does not work when you pull the
hand brake you should know that you will not be
notified if there is a problem with the dual-circuit
brake system.
Check if the warning light for
dual-circuit brake system works.
16
In car

Stop! Find the reason.
 This could be the dual-circuit system is not
functioning.
 Or that there is little brake fluid.
 There may be a fault with the handbrake.

matter what tire you run with.
What is the requirement for tread
depth. Winter or summer?

 Before checking the tires you should start the engine and
turn the wheel well to the right or left so that the tread is
visible.
 A tread gauge can be found in the center console between
the seats.
 Normally, you should check your tire pressure with a tyre
pressure gauge.
◦ Using this it is easy to let out some air so that it becomes
different air pressure in tires on the same axle.
◦ The BMW will register this immediately and the alarm will go!
◦ To prevent this, we have removed the tyrte pressure gauge on
the BMW. The examiners know about the problem.

 Visual inspection:
◦ Does the tires look similar according to tire wear,
sort and air pressure.
 Check if there is something "unnatural" at the
wheels.
Check the tires and wheel rims
for damage.

 Tears in the sidewall, usually after meeting
with the curb.
 Dents in the rim. This leads to instability,
 Bubbles in the side of the tire will cause the

most common?
62

 Visual inspection, compare all the tires.
 You can also use the depth gauge.
 Check the wear alerts on the tires.
 The minimum tread depth in summer is 1.6
mm, and in winter it is minimum 3.0 mm.
 See also page 39.
 In the tread pattern is also found small "rubber
lumps" or wear indicators that indicate how
worn the tires are.
Check the tread depth of the tires
on both front wheels.
