Tire pressure
A table (see fuel filler flap or last
page) lists the tire inflation pressures
specified fo r summ er and w inter tires
as well as fo r the varying operating
conditions.
Im portant!
Tire pressure differs by approx.
0.1 bar/1.5 psi per 10° C /18° F of air
tem perature change. Keep this in
mind when checking tire pressure
inside a garage — especially in the
winter.
i
Example:
Room tem perature = approx.
+ 20° C / + 68° F
A m bient tem perature = approx.
0° C / + 32° F
A djusted air pressure = specified air
pressure + 0 .2 bar/ + 3 psi.
Tire tem peratures and pressure
increase with the vehicle speed. Tire
pressure should therefore only be
co rre cte d on cold tires. C orrect tire
pressure in hot tires only if pressure
has dropped below the data listed in
the table and the respective operating
co n d ition s are taken into considera­
tion.
