Incorrect tyre pressures
lead to abnormal tyre wear
and unusually hot running.
These are factors which
may affect safety and lead to poor
road holding,
– risk of bursting or tread separa-
tion.
– The pressure depends on the load
and the speed of use. Adjust the
pressure according to the condi-
tions of use.
– Please be aware that a poorly
tightened or missing valve cap can
make the tyres less airtight and lead
to pressure loss.
– Always use valve caps identical
to those fitted originally and tighten
them fully.
TYRE PRESSURE
Adhere to the tyre pressures (including
the emergency spare wheel). The tyre
pressures should be checked at least
once a month and additionally before
any long journey.
Tyre pressures should always be
checked when the tyres are cold,
ignore higher pressures which may be
reached in hot weather or following a
fast journey.
If the tyre pressures cannot be checked
when the tyres are cold, increase the
pressures from 0.2 to 0.3 bar (or 3 PSI).
Never deflate a hot tyre.
Refer the tyre pressure labels 1 details
pasted on the driver door of the vehicle.

Special note for fully-
loaded vehicles (maximum
authorised load weight) a nd
vehicles towing a trailer:
the maximum speed must be limited
to (62 mph) 100 km/h and the tyre
pressure increased by 0.2 bar.
Please refer to the information on
“Weights” in Section 6.
Risk of tyre blowouts.
For your safety, please re-
spect the speed limit.
When they need to be re-
placed, only tyres of the
same make, size, type and profile
should be used on a single axle.
They must: either have a load ca-
pacity and speed rating at least
equal to those of the original tyres,
or conform to those recommended
by an authorised dealer. Failure to
heed these instructions could en-
danger your safety and affect your
vehicle’s roadworthiness.Risk of
loss of control of the vehicle.
