WARNING
Tires withexcessively highpressure can
burst because theyaredamage dmore eas-
ily by road debris, potholes etc.Inaddition,
they alsosuffer fromirregula rwear, which
can severely impairthebraking properties
and thedriving characteristics. Thereisa
risk ofan accident.
Avoid tirepressures thataretoo high inall
the tires, including thespare wheel.
Overinflated tiresmay:
R increase thebraking distance
R adversely affecthandling
R wear excessively and/orunevenly
R have anadverse effectonride comfort
R be more susceptible todamage

X Ifthe tire pressure istoo low, increase the
tire pressure tothe recommended value.
X Ifthe tire pressure istoo high, release air.
To do so, press downthemetal pininthe
