The specified running direction must be strictly adhered to, otherwise the fol-
lowing tyre characteristics may be degraded.
▶
Driving stability.
▶
Traction.
▶
Tyre noise and tyre wear.
WARNING
■
Never use tyres if you do not know anything about their condition and
age - There is a risk of accidents.
■
Never drive with damaged tyres – there is the risk of an accident.
CAUTION
■
The tyres must be protected from contact with substances (e.g. oil, grease
and fuel) which could damage them. If the tyres with these substances come
into contact, then we recommend that you check this in a specialist workshop.
■
Do not use rims with ground or polished surfaces in winter conditions - there
is a risk of rim damage (e.g through salt spreading).
Notice
■
We recommend that any work on the wheels or tyres be carried out by a
specialist garage.
■
We recommend that you use wheel rims, tyres and full wheel trims from
ŠKODA Original Accessories.
Tyre pressure
Fig. 83 Label with a table of tyre sizes and tyre pressure value/inflate
tyres
The specified tyre pressures are on a label
A
» fig. 83.
Tyre pressure must always match the load.
Inflation pressure for half load
Inflation pressure for a full load
Tyre pressure value on the front axle
Tyre pressure value on the rear axle
Checking tyre pressure
Check the tyre pressure (including that of the emergency or spare wheel) at
least once a month and also before setting off on a long journey.
Always check the inflation pressure when the tyres are cold. Do not reduce
the higher pressure of warm tyres.
WARNING
■
So not drive with incorrect tyre pressure - There is a risk of an accident.
■
In the event of very rapid pressure loss (e.g. in the event of tyre damage)
an attempt should be made to bring the vehicle carefully to a stop without
sudden steering movements and without any hard braking - There is a risk
of an accident.
Notice
The information about the load index and the speed symbol is listed in your ve-
hicle documents.
