Tire Pressure

A table (see fuel filler flap or last
page) lists the tire inflation pres­
sures specified for summer and
winter tires as well as for the vary­
ing operating conditions.
Tire temperature and pressure
increase with the vehicle speed.
Tire pressure should therefore only
be corrected on cold tires. Correct
tire pressure in hot tires only if
pressure has dropped below the
data listed in the table and the
respective operating conditions are
taken into consideration.
