>
Please see chapter "Wheels and Tires" on
page 278.
1.
Connect the compressor to a socket in the ve-
hicle and inflate the tire to at least 36 psi
(2.5 bar). If this tire pressure cannot be
reached, the tire is too severely damaged. Do
not continue driving with that tire.
2.
Screw valve cap onto the tire valve
F
.
Checking the pressure
e
Check the tire pressure after driving for ap-
prox. 10 minutes. If the tire pressure is less
than 22 psi (1.5 bar), do not continue driving. If
a value of more than 22 psi (1.5 bar) is indi-
cated, correct the pressure to the prescribed
value.
