WHEELS
AND TYRES
TYRE PRESSURE
Check the pressure of each tyre,
including the spare, every two weeks
and before long journeys.
The pressure should be checked
with the tyre rested and cold.
It is normal for the pressure to rise
when you are driving. If you have to
check or restore the pressure when
the tyres are warm, remember that
the pressure value must be 0.3 bar
above the specified value.
For proper tyre inflation pressure,
see “Wheels” in chapter “Technical
Specifications”.
Tyre pressure must be
correct to ensure good
road holding.
Wrong pressure causes uneven
wear of the tyres (fig. 19):
A - Correct pressure: tyre wears
evenly.
B - Under inflated tyre: shoulder
tread wear.
C - Over inflated tyre: centre tread
wear.
If the pressure is too low
the tyre overheats and
this can cause it serious
damage.
Tyres must be replaced when the
tread wears down to 1.6 mm. In any
case, comply with the laws in the
country where the car is being dri-
ven.
