TYRES
(continued)
Tyre pressures
Tyre pressures must be adhered to.
(Remember to check the spare
wheel at the same time.) Pressures
must be checked at least once a
month and always before a long
journey. (Refer to the section on
Tyre pressures at the beginning of
this notice).
Incorrect tyre pressures
lead to abnormal tyre
wear and unusually hot
running, factors which
may seriously affect safety and
lead to:
- poor roadholding
- the risk of blow-outs or of
throwing a tread at high speed.
Tyre pressures depend on the
load and the driving speed.
Adjust the pressures according
to the conditions of use. (Refer to
the tyre pressures section.)
Pressures should be checked when
the tyres are cold; ignore higher
pressures which may be reached in
hot weather or following a journey
at higher speeds.
If tyre pressures cannot be checked
when the tyres are
cold
, the
indicated
pressures
should
be
increased by
0.2
to
0.3
bar.
Never deflate a hot tyre.
Note:
a label (depending on country
or version) stuck on the edge or
frame of the driver's door gives the
recommended tyre pressures.
Changing wheels around
This practice is not recommended.
Emergency spare wheel
Refer to the information on the
emergency
spare
wheel
and
instructions on how to change a
wheel in Section 5.
Fitting new tyres
For safety reasons, this
operation must only be
carried
out
by
a
specialist.
Fitting
different
tyres
may
change your car as follows:
- It may mean that your car no
longer conforms to current
regulations.
- It may change the way it
handles when cornering.
- It may cause the steering to be
heavy.
- It may cause tyre noise.
- It may affect the use of chains.
