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 389).
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.
Only cor rect tyre pressures when the tyres are
cold. Conditions for cold tyres:
R The vehicle has been par ked with the tyres
out of direct sunlight for at least thre e hours.
R The vehicle has tr avelled less than 1.6 km.
The vehicle's tyres heat up when driving. As the
te mp erature of the tyres increases, so too does
th e tyre pressure.
Ve hicles with a tyre pressure monitoring sys‐
te m: you can also check the tyre pressure using
th e on-board computer.

The tyre pressure and the tyre temp erature
appear in the on-board computer (/ page 390).

be highly beneficial.
R Only use tyres and wheels of the same type
(summer tyres, winter tyres, MOEx tended

R Only fit wheels of the same size on one axle
(left and right).
It is only permissible tofit a di fferent wheel

ro ads (aquaplaning).
On vehicles with the same front and rear wheel
size, you can inter change the wheels every
