Warning
For specific tyres the recommended
tyre pressure as shown in the
tyre pressure table may exceed the
maximum tyre pressure as indicated on
the tyre.
Never exceed the maximum tyre
pressure as indicated on the tyre.
Temperature dependency
The tyre pressure depends on the
temperature of the tyre. During driving,
tyre temperature and pressure increase.
Tyre pressure values provided on the
tyre information label and tyre pressure
chart are valid for cold tyres, which
means at 20 °C.
The pressure increases by nearly 1.5 psi
for a 10 °C temperature increase. This
must be considered when warm tyres are
checked.
Jump starting
Do not start with quick charger.
A vehicle with a discharged vehicle
battery can be started using jump leads
and the vehicle battery of another
vehicle.
CAUTION
Only jump start another vehicle with an
ICE vehicle.
Warning
Be extremely careful when starting
with jump leads. Any deviation from
the following instructions can lead to
injuries or damage caused by battery
explosion or damage to the electrical
systems of both vehicles.
Warning
Avoid contact of the battery with eyes,
skin, fabrics and painted surfaces. The
fluid contains sulphuric acid, which can
cause injury and damage in the event
of direct contact.
● Never expose the vehicle battery to
naked flames or sparks.
● A discharged vehicle battery can
already freeze at a temperature of 0
°C. Defrost the frozen battery before
connecting jump leads.
● Wear eye protection and protective
clothing when handling a battery.
● Use a booster battery with the same
voltage (12 V). Its capacity (Ah) must
not be much less than that of the
discharged vehicle battery.
● Use jump leads with insulated
terminals and a cross-section of at
least 16 mm
2
(25 mm
2
for diesel
engines).
● Do not disconnect the discharged
vehicle battery from the vehicle.
● Switch off all unnecessary electrical
consumers.
● Do not lean over the vehicle battery
during jump starting.
● Do not allow the terminals of one lead
to touch those of the other lead.
● The vehicles must not come into
contact with each other during the jump
starting process.
● Apply the parking brake, transmission
in neutral, automatic transmission in P
.
