4.3 Tyre pressure
Tips for checking tyre pressures:
• Check and correct tyre pressure every four weeks (but at least
every three months) and before every journey.
• Tyres must be checked when they are cold.
• When inspecting or correcting warm tyres, the pressure must
be 0.3 bar higher than when the tyres are cold.
• If driving on low tyre pressure is unavoidable (i.e., from the
campsite to the nearest service station) you should drive at a
maximum speed of 20 km/h.
Rules for tyre pressure:
- correct tyre pressure
j
- tyre pressure too low
k
- tyre pressure too high
l
If the tyre pressure is too low, the tyre can overheat.
This can result in serious damage.
If the tyre pressure is too high, , this leads to higher tread
wear and it may cause damage to the suspension.
Please refer to the table on tyres/tyre pressure in the
chapter on “Technical Data” or the labels in the gas
box as well as on the wheel arch spat for the correct
tyre pressure.

Profile depth and age of tyres
New tyres are needed (at the latest) when the profile depth
measures 1.6 mm.
The minimum tread depth only guarantees minimum
safety while driving!
Tyres should never be exchanged from one side to the
other, i.e. from the right-hand side of the vehicle to the
left-hand side and vice versa.
Tyres age even when used rarely or not at all.
