166 Vehicle care
Tyre pressure
Keep the tyres at the recommended
pressures to avoid increased fuel
consumption, uneven and premature
tyre wear.
The correct pressures are shown
on the tyre placard and in the tyre
pressure table. See Tyre pressure
on page 192.
• Tyre pressure should be checked
when cold as tyre pressure will
increase as the tyres warm up.
• Check the air pressure of tyres
(including the spare) weekly, to
ensure occupant safety, as well
as reducing fuel consumption and
increasing the life of the tyres.
• Replace any valve dust caps or
extensions.
Tyre placard
The correct pressures for tyres
are shown on the tyre placard in
the driver’s door frame and in the
tyre pressure table. Refer to Tyre
pressure on page 192.
• Always inate the spare tyre
to the pressure specied for
maximum load.
• Use the ECO tyre pressure for
fuel economy driving at normal
load.
Tread depth
Check tread depth at regular
intervals.
• Replace the tyres when:
They are worn to the point where
the tread wear indicators (TWI)
appear.
The tyres originally tted to the
vehicle have built in TWI. These
show as plain bars across the
tread pattern at regular intervals
across the tyre.
