The prescribed tyre inflation is on the sticker with pictograms
A
» Fig. 158 (for
some countries, the pictograms are replaced with a text).
Tyre pressure is always to match the load.
Inflation pressure for half load
Inflation pressure for environmentally friendly operation (slightly lower
fuel consumption and emissions)
Inflation pressure for full load
Tyre diameter in inches
This information serves merely as information for the prescribed tyre pres-
sure. This is not a list of shared tyre sizes for your vehicle. These are in the
vehicle's technical documentation, in the declaration of conformity (in so-
called COC document) and listed on the vehicle data » page 162.
Tyre pressure value on the front axle
Tyre pressure value on the rear axle
Check tyre pressures
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 on warm tyres.
In vehicles with tyre pressure monitoring, tyre pressure values must be saved
each time the pressures are changed » page 109.
WARNING
■
Do not drive with incorrect tyre pressure - risk of 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 - risk of acci-
dent.
Note
The declaration of conformity (COC document), can be obtained from a ŠKODA

partner.

Tyre wear and wheel change
Fig. 159 Tyre wear indicator / wheel change
Tyre wear increases in the following circumstances.
▶
Incorrect tyre pressures.
▶
Driving style (e.g. fast cornering, rapid acceleration / braking).
▶
Incorrect wheel balancing (you should have the wheels balanced after
changing/repair tyres or if the steering “is drifting”).
▶
Wheel alignment errors.
There are wear indicator markersin the tyre profiles, indicating whether the
minimum permissible tread depth has been reached» Fig. 159 -
. A tyre
should be regarded as worn out when this indicator is flush with the tread.
Markings on the walls of the tyres with the letters “TWI” and/or other symbols
(e.g.
), identify the position of the wear indicators.
To ensure uniform wear on all tyres, we recommend that you change the
wheels every 10 000 km, in line with the schedule» Fig. 159 -
.
WARNING
■
Change the tyres at the latest when they are worn down to the wear indi-
cators - risk of accident.
■
Faulty wheel alignment affects handling - risk of accident.
■
Unusual vibrations or the vehicle “pulling ” to one side could be a sign of
tyre damage. Reduce speed and stop! If there are no external signs of tyre
damage, seek the help of a specialist garage.
