14.4 Handling of tyres
Drive over kerbs at an obtuse angle. Otherwise the flanks of the tyres
may get pinched. Driving over a kerb at a sharp angle can damage the
tyre and result in it getting ruptured.
Drive over high manhole covers at a slow speed. Otherwise the tyres
may get pinched. Driving over a high manhole cover at high speed can
damage the tyre and result in it getting ruptured.
Check the shock absorbers regularly. Driving with poor shock absorbers
significantly increases wear.
In the event of an uneven thread wear, contact customer service.
Do not clean the tyres with a high-pressure cleaner. The tyres can suffer
serious damage within just a few seconds and rupture as a result.
Drive the tyres with care. Avoid braking sharply, revving up too strongly
and journeys on poor roads.

14.6 Tyre pressure
Tyres overheat if the tyre pressure is too low. This can cause serious
tyre damage.
Check tyre pressure before a journey or every 2 weeks. Wrong tyre
pressure causes excessive wear and can lead to damage or even to
tyre burst. You can lose control of the vehicle.
Use only valves that are approved for the specified tyre pressure.
