4.3 Ination pressure
Theinationpressureofalltiresaswellasthesparetireshould
becheckedapprox.every4weeksandbeforeyougoonlonger
journeys.
The following applies when checking ination pressure:
• Checkthepressureonlywhenthetireiscold.
• Ifcheckingorcorrectingthepressureofawarmtire,the
pressuremustbe0.3barhigherthanforacoldtire.
The following applies for ination pressure:
- correctinationpressure(1).
- inationpressuretoolow(2).
- inationpressuretoohigh(3).
Ifthepressureistoolow,thismaycauseoverheatingofthe
tire,possiblyresultinginseveredamagetothetire.
Forthecorrectinationpressure,pleaserefertothetablein
thechapteron“TechnicalData“ortheoperatinginstructions
forthebasicvehicle.
4.4 Tread depth
Replaceyourtiresassoonasthetreaddepthisonly1.6mm.
Tiresmaynotbeexchangedcrosswise,i.e.fromtherightside
ofthevehicletotheleftandviceversa.
Tiresageeveniftheyareusedseldomornotatall.
Tire manufacturers‘ recommendations
• Irrespectiveoftheirtreaddepth,tiresshouldbechanged
every6years.
• Avoidhardimpactsagainstcurbs,potholesorotherobsta-
cles.
