Adjusting tyre pressure
Tyre pressure decreases over time, this is a
natural 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.
NOTE
To avoid incorrect tyre pressure, the pres-
sure should be checked on cold tyres.
"Cold tyres" means the tyres are the same
temperature as the ambient temperature
(approx. 3 hours after the car has been
driven). After a few kilometres of driving,
the tyres warm up and the pressure increa-
ses.
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 driv-
er's side showing the recommended pres-
sure for factory fitted tyres.
3. Refit the dust cap.
NOTE
•
After a tyre has been inflated, always
refit the dust cap in order to avoid dam-
age to the valve from gravel, dirt, etc.
•
Only use plastic dust caps. Metal dust
caps can rust and become difficult to
unscrew.
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, including the
spare tyre
*
.
NOTE
If you have over-inflated, release air by
pressing in the metal pin in the centre of
the valve. Then check the pressure again
using the tyre pressure gauge.
Some spare tyres require a higher tyre
pressure than other tyres. Check in the tyre
pressure table or on the tyre pressure label.
