TYRE PRESSURE
5
112 - Maintenance
Adhere to the tyre pressures (including
the emergency spare wheel). The tyre
pressures should be checked at least
once a month and additionally before
any long journey.
Tyre pressures should always be
checked when the tyres are cold,
ignore higher pressures which may be
reached in hot weather or following a
fast journey.
If the tyre pressures cannot be
checked when the tyres are cold,
increase the pressures from 0.2 to 0.3
bar (or 3 PSI).
never deflate a hot tyre.
Refer the table for the Tyre Pressure in
your vehicle.
A label of the tyre pressure details is
pasted on the driver door of the
vehicle.

Special note concerning fully laden

Incorrect tyre
pressures lead to
abnormal tyre wear and
unusually hot running.
These are factors which may
affect safety and lead to poor road
holding,
– risk of bursting or tread
separation.
– The pressure depends on the
load and the speed of use. Adjust
the pressure according to the
conditions of use.
– Please be aware that a poorly
tightened or missing valve cap
can make the tyres less airtight
and lead to pressure loss.
– Always use valve caps identical
to those fitted originally and
tighten them fully.
