Tire Inflation Pressure
For Your Own Safety
Not only the service life of the tyres, but also to a large extent the level of comfort and safety depends on the quality of the tyres and how carefully the tyre pressure is maintained.
Checking Tire Pressure
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.◄
