Recommended tyre pressure

should have with different load and speed
conditions.

Checking the tyre pressure
Check the tyre pressure regularly. The cor-
rect tyre pressure is shown in the tyre pres-
sure table. The stated tyre pressures refer to
cold tyres. (Cold tyres mean the tyres are the
same temperature as the ambient tempera-
ture.)
Driving with the wrong tyre pressure
adversely affects the car’s driving character-
istics and can increase tyre wear. After just a
few kilometres of driving, the tyres warm up
and the pressure increases. Therefore air
should not be released if the pressure is
checked when the tyres are warm. However
the pressure should be increased if it is too
low.
