mal for the pressure to increase above the rec-
ommended pressure for cold tyres. A warm tyre
with tyre pressure equal to or below the recom-
mendation for cold tyres may have a pressure
that is far too low.

WARNING
• Tyre pressure that is too low is the
most common cause of tyre failure and
may result in serious cracks in the tyre,
the tread loosening or the tyre explod-
ing, with unexpected loss of control of
the car and increased risk of personal
injury.
• Tyres with pressure that is too low
reduce the load capacity of the car.
Adjusting tyre
pressure
Tyre pressure decreases over time, this is a nat-
ural phenomenon. The tyre pressure must
therefore sometimes be adjusted in order to
maintain the recommended tyre pressure.
Use the recommended tyre pressure for cold
tyres in order to maintain good tyre perform-
ance and even tread wear.
1. Remove the cap from the valve on one tyre
and then press the tyre pressure gauge firmly
down onto the valve.
2. Inflate the tyres to the correct pressure, see
the decal on the door pillar on the driver's side
showing the recommended pressure for fac-
tory fitted tyres.
3. Refit the dust cap.
4. Check the tyres visually for any implanted
nails or other objects that could puncture the
tyre and cause leakage.
5. Check the sidewalls for any cavities, cuts,
bumps or other irregularities.
6. Repeat this for all tyres.
