This information serves merely as information for the prescribed tyre
pressure. This is not a list of shared tyre sizes for your vehicle. These are in
the vehicle's technical documentation, as well as the declaration of con-
formity (in the so-called COC document).

Tyre pressure value on the rear axle

Check tyre pressures
Check the tyre pressure, including that of the spare wheel, at least once a
month and also before setting off on a long journey.
Always check the inflation pressure when the tyres are cold. Do not reduce
the higher pressure of warm tyres.
In vehicles with tyre pressure monitoring, tyre pressure values must be saved
each time the pressures are changed
WARNING
Do not drive with an incorrect tyre pressure - risk of accident.
■
In the event of very fast pressure loss, e.g. in the event of sudden tyre
■
damage, an attempt should be made to bring the vehicle carefully to a stop
without sudden steering movements and without any hard braking.
Note
The declaration of conformity (the so-called. COC document) can be obtained
from a ŠKODA Partner (only valid for some countries and some models).

Tire wear and wheel change
Fig. 330 Tyre wear indicator / wheel change
The tyre wear increases in the following circumstances.
▶
Incorrect tyre pressure.
Driving style (e.g. fast cornering, rapid acceleration / deceleration).
▶
Incorrect balancing of wheels (have the wheels balanced after changing
▶
tyres / repair or with "restlessness" on the steering).
▶
Wheel alignment error.
Wear indicators are located in the profile of the tyres which display the per-
missible minimum tread depth
out when this indicator is flush with the tread. Markings on the walls of the
tyres with the letters "TWI" or other symbols (e.g. ) indicate the position of
the wear indicators.
For uniform wear on all tyres, we recommend that you change the wheels ev-
ery 10,000 km according to the schedule
WARNING
Change when they are worn down to the wear indicators at the latest -
■
risk of accident.
Improper wheel alignment affects the driving behaviour - there is an acci-
■
dent.
Unusual vibrations or "pulling" of the vehicle to one side could be a sign of
■
tyre damage. Reduce speed and stop! If no tyre damage is evident, seek the
assistance of a specialist garage.
