Tire Inflation Pressure
A table (see fuel fille r fla p or last page)
lists the tire inflation pressures
specified fo r sum m er and w inter tires
as well as fo r the varying operating
conditions.
T ire pressures listed fo r light loads are
m inim um values offering high driving
com fort. Increased inflation
pressures fo r heavy loads produce
favorable handling characteristics
w ith ligh ter loads and are perfectly
perm issible. The ride of the vehicle,
however, w ill becom e som ew hat
