Tyre pressure:
Check tyre pressures, including the spare, every 14 days and prior to any long journey; tyres should be
checked when cold. This also applies to vehicles with tyre pressure monitoring system.
Always inflate the spare tyre to the value specified for full load.
Incorrect tyre pressures will impair safety, vehicle handling, comfort and fuel economy and will increase tyre
wear.
