4.3 Tyre pressure
The inflation pressure of all tyres as well as the spare tyre
should be checked approx. every 4 weeks and before you go
on longer journeys.
The following applies when checking inflation pressure:
• Check the pressure only when the tyre is cold.
• If checking or correcting the pressure of a warm tyre, the
pressure must be 0.3 bar higher than for a cold tyre.
• Check and fix tyre pressure every four weeks (but at least
every three months) and before every drive.
• 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.
Never drive faster than 50 km/h.
Do not use snow chains on snow-free roads.
Snow chains can only be mounted to tyres that are just as
large as the tyres originally mounted on your vehicle.
Snow chains may only be mounted on the front drive
wheels; it is strictly forbidden to mount snow chains on
the rear wheels.
Ornamental hub caps must be removed before putting on
snow chains.
