Tyre Pressures - Renault DUSTER Driver's Handbook Manual

TYRES
(2/4)

Tyre pressures

Adhere to the tyre pressures (including
the emergency spare wheel). The tyre
pressures should be checked at least
once a month and additionally before
any long journey (refer to the label af-
fixed to the edge of the driver's door).
Incorrect tyre pressures
lead to abnormal tyre wear
and unusually hot running.
These are factors which
may seriously affect safety and lead
to:
– poor road holding;
– risk of blowouts or throwing a
tread.
The tyre pressure depends on the
load and speed of use; adjust the
pressures according to the condi-
tions of use (refer to the information
on "Tyre pressures" in Section 4).
Pressures should be checked when the
tyres are cold; ignore higher pressures
which may be reached in hot weather
or following a fast journey.
If tyre pressures cannot be checked
when the tyres are cold, assume an in-
crease of 0.2 to 0.3 bar.
Never deflate a hot tyre.
Special note
Depending on the vehicle, there may
be an adapter which needs to be posi-
tioned on the valve before air is added.
Your vehicle is equipped with large
wheels. These are more sensitive to
imbalance. If you experience vibra-
tion while driving, contact an appro-
ved dealer.
Please be aware that a poorly tightened or missing valve cap can make
the tyres less airtight and may lead to pressure loss. Always use valve
caps of the same type as the originals and tighten them fully.
Vehicle fitted with a tyre pressure
loss warning system
If under-inflated (puncture, low pres-
sure, etc.), the warning light
the instrument panel comes on. See
«Tyre pressure loss warning» in chap-
ter 2.
