Check the tyre pressure, including that of the compact spare wheel, at least twice a month and each time before a long journey. Incorrect tyre pressure adversely affects vehicle handling, increases the risk of tyre damage and may lead to an accident.◄

After correcting the tyre pressure, initialise the tyre damage indicator.◄
