add 0.3 bar (30 kPa) to the values
indicated on the label.
Always inflate the spare tyre to the
pressure specified for full load.
Incorrect tyre pressures will impair
safety, vehicle handling, comfort and
fuel economy and will increase tyre wear.
Tyre pressures differ depending on
various options. For the correct tyre
pressure value, follow the procedure
below:
1. Identify the engine identifier code.
2. Identify the respective tyre.
The tyre pressure tables show all
possible tyre combinations.
For the tyres approved for your vehicle,
refer to the EEC Certificate of Conformity
provided with your vehicle or other
national registration documents.
The driver is responsible for correct
adjustment of tyre pressure.
328) 329)
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 10 kPa
for a 10
°
C temperature increase. This
must be considered when warm tyres are
checked.
TREAD DEPTH
Check tread depth at regular intervals.
For safety reasons, it is recommended
that the tread depth of the tyres on one
axle should not vary by more than 2 mm.
320
JJ000314
The legally permissible minimum tread
depth (1.6 mm) has been reached when
the tread has worn down as far as one
of the tread wear indicators (TWI). Their
position is indicated by markings on the
sidewall.
If there is more wear at the front than
the rear, swap round front wheels and
rear wheels periodically. Ensure that
the direction of rotation of the wheels
remains the same.
Tyres age, even if they are not used. We
recommend tyre replacement every 6
years.
CHANGING TYRE AND WHEEL
SIZE
If tyres of a different size than those
fitted at the factory are used, it may
be necessary to reprogramme the Tyre
Underinflation Detection System and
make other vehicle modifications.
Using different size wheels and tyres
from those specified can affect the
lifetime of tyres, wheel rotation, ground
clearance, the speedometer reading and
have an adverse effect on road holding.
Fitting different tyres on the front and
rear axles can cause the ESC to mistime.
Have the label with tyre pressures
replaced.
330)
WHEEL COVERS
Wheel covers and tyres that are factory
approved for the respective vehicle and
comply with all of the relevant wheel and
tyre combination requirements must be
used.
If the wheel covers and tyres used are
not factory approved, the tyres must not
have a rim protection ridge.
Wheel covers must not impair brake
cooling.
331)
Spare wheels: Do not use wheel covers.
