TYRES (continued)
Tyre pressures
Tyre pressures must be adhered to.
(including the spare wheel) they
must be chec kad at least once a
month and always before a long
journey (refer to the section on tyre
pressures at the beginning of this
document).
Incorrect tyre pressures
lead to abnormal tyre
wear and unusually hot
running, factors which
may seriously affect safety and
lead to:
- poor roadholding;
- risk of blow-outs or of throwing
a tread at high speed.
The tyre pressure depends on the
eat and speed of use, adjust
ressures according to the
ie fone of use (refer to the
section on tyre pressures at
the beginning of the handbook).
5.08
Pressures should be checked when
the tyres are cold; ignore higher
pressures which may be reached in
warm weather or following a fast
journey.
If tyre pom cannot be checked
when the tyres are cold, assume an
increase of 0.2 to 0.3 bar.
Never deflate a hot tyre.
Note: a label (depending on country
or model) fixed to the edge or frame
of the driver's door gives the
recommended tyre pressures.

no longer conforms to current
regulations.
-It may change the way it
handles when cornering.
- It may cause the steering to be
heavy.
- It may cause tyre noise.
- It may affect the use of snow
