Practical hints
Flat tire
̈ To switch off the air pump turn the key
in the starter switch to position 0
(
୴ page 31).
̈ If the tire pressure is above 36 psi (2.5
bar), release excess tire pressure using
the vent screw.
̈ Detach the electric air pump.
̈ Store the electrical plug and the air
hose behind the flap and place the air
pump back in the trunk.
!
Do not operate the electric air pump
longer than six minutes without inter-
ruption. Otherwise it may overheat.
You may operate the air pump again af-
ter it has cooled off.
Warning! G
Follow recommended inflation pressures.
Do not overinflate tires. Overinflated tires
can result in sudden deflation (blowout) be-
cause they are more likely to become punc-
tured or damaged by road debris, potholes
etc.
Do not underinflate tires. Underinfalted tires
wear unevenly, adversely affect handling
and fuel economy, and are more likely to fail
from being overheated.
Do not overload the tires by exceeding the
specified vehicle capacity weight (as indicat-
ed by the label on the driver’s door latch
post). Overloading the tires can overheat
them, possibly causing a blowout.
