Check the tyre pressure on cold tyres. Do not reduce the higher tyre
pressure when the tyres are warm.
The payload and the durability of tyres is directly dependent on the tyre
pressure. Air is a volatile medium. It is unavoidable that it will escape from
tyres.
As a rule of thumb it can be assumed that a filled tyre loses pressure at a
rate of 0.1 bar every two months. To prevent the tyres becoming damaged
or burst, check the tyre pressure regularly.
The contact surface of the tyre changes, depending on the tyre pressure.
1 Correct tyre pressure
2 Tyre pressure too low
3 Tyre pressure too high

The information on pressure levels is valid for cold tyres and loaded ve-
hicles.
Pressure in hot tyres is higher than in cold tyres. Therefore, check the
pressure when the tyres are cold.
Tyre pressures in bar.
Over 4.75 bar requires a metal valve.
When a replacement is needed, we recommend "Camping" tyres.
The vehicles are constantly brought up to the newest technical standards. It
is possible that new tyre sizes are not yet included in this table. If this is the
case, any dealer will be happy to provide the newest values.
