WARNING
Tires with tire pressures that are too low or too high are associated with the following hazards:
R they can burst, in particular if the vehicle is heavily laden or when driven at high speeds.
R the tires can wear excessively and/or unevenly, which can severely impair tire traction.
R the driving, steering and braking characteristics may be severely impaired.
There is a risk of accident.
Follow recommended tire inflation pressures and check the pressure of all the tires including the
spare wheel:
R monthly, at least
R if the load changes
R before beginning a long journey
R under different operating conditions, e.g. off-road driving
If necessary, correct the tire pressure. Displays and operation
