NOTE
• To avoid incorrect tyre pressure, the
pressure should be checked on cold
tyres. "Cold tyres" means the tyres are
the same temperature as the ambient
temperature (approx. 3 hours after the
car has been driven). After a few kilo-
metres of driving, the tyres warm up
and the pressure increases.
• • After a tyre has been inflated, always
refit the dust cap in order to avoid
damage to the valve from gravel,
dirt, etc.
• Only use plastic dust caps. Metal
dust caps can rust and become diffi-
cult to unscrew.
• If you have over-inflated, release air by
pressing in the metal pin in the centre
of the valve. Then check the pressure
again using the tyre pressure gauge.
Some spare tyres require a higher tyre
pressure than other tyres. Check in the
tyre pressure table or on the tyre pres-
sure label.
Recommended tyre
pressure
The tyre pressure label on the driver's side door
pillar shows which pressures the tyres should
have at different loads and speed conditions.
Tyre pressure label location
The decal displays the designation for the fac-
tory-fitted tyres on the car, as well as load limits
and tyre pressure.
Improved economy with ECO pressure
For a light load (max. 3 people) and a speed of up
to 160 km/h (100 mph), the ECO pressures can
be chosen for more economical electricity con-
sumption. However, the lower comfort pres-
sures are recommended instead if improved
noise and travelling comfort are desired.
