The wheels, valves or tyres could be dam‐

Examine the tyres forfo re ign objects. #
Check whe ther the tyre has a puncture
or theva lve has a leak. #
Ifyo u are unable torectify the damage,
contact a qualified specialist workshop. Information on

fo rth eve hicle's factor y-fitted tyres can be found
on the tyre pressure table in the fuel filler flap
and in the tyre pressure tables (/ page 251).
Use a suitable pressure gauge tocheck the tyre

not permit any reliable conclusion about the tyre
pressure.
