WARNING Risk of accident due toinsuf‐
fi cient or excessive tyre pressure
Underinfla ted or overinfla ted tyres pose the
fo llowing risks:
R The tyres may bur st, especially as the
load and vehicle speed increase. R
The tyres may wearexc essively and/or
une venly, which may greatlyimpair tyre
traction.
R The driving characteristics, as well as
st eering and braking, may be greatly
impaired. #
Comply with there commended tyre
pressure and check the tyre pressure of
all tyres including the spare wheel regu‐
larly:
R at least once a month
R when the load changes
R before embarking on a lon ger journey
R if operating conditions change, e.g. off-
ro ad driving #
Adjust the tyre pressure as necessar y. Ty
re pressure which is too high or too low can:
R Shor tenth e service life of the tyres.
R Cause increased tyre damage.
R Adversely af fect driving characteristics and
th us driving saf ety, e.g. due toaquaplaning. &
WARNING Risk of accident from repea‐
te d tyre pressure drop
If th e tyre pressure drops repeatedl y,the
wheel, valve or tyre may be damaged.
Insuf ficient tyre pressure can cause the tyres
to bur st. #
Inspect the tyre for signs of fore ign
objects. #
Check whe ther the wheel or valve has a
leak. #
Ifyo u are unable torectify the damage,
conta ct aqualified specialist workshop. Information on
there commended tyre pressure
fo rth eve hicle's factor y-fitted tyres can be found
on the tyre pressure table on the inside of the
fuel filler flap (/ page 536).
Use a suitable pressure gauge tocheck the tyre
pressure. The outer appearance of a tyre does
not permit any reliable conclusion about the tyre
pressure. Wheels and tyres
