Risk of accident
If the tyre pressure falls repeatedly:
Inspect the tyre for foreign objects
Check whether the tyre is punctured or
the valve is leaking
Tyre pressure changes by approximately
0.1 bar for every 10 °C change in ambient
temperature.
If you measure the tyre pressure indoors
where the temperature differs from the
outside temperature, you will have to cor-
rect the measured value accordingly.
When the vehicle is driven, the tyre tem-
perature, and with it the tyre pressure, will
increase depending on the road speed and
the load on the tyres.
For this reason, you should only correct
tyre pressures when the tyres are cold.
The pressure of warm tyres should only be
corrected if it is too low for the current op-
erating conditions. The pressure of warm
tyres is always higher than that of cold
tyres.
Tyre pressure too low or too high:
will reduce the service life of the tyres
will promote tyre damage
will affect handling characteristics and
thus driving safety (e.g. due to aqua-
planing)
i
The tyre pressure values given are minimum
pressures for a fully laden vehicle. The spare
wheel should also be inflated to the pressure giv-
en.

Tyres and wheels
You should also regularly check the pressure of
the spare wheel*.
H
Environmental note
Check the tyre pressures regularly, at least
every 14 days.
Interchanging wheels
G
Risk of accident
Only interchange the front and rear wheels if
they have exactly the same dimensions, e.g.
size, offset, etc.
On vehicles with wheels of the same size,
you can interchange the wheels every
5,000 to 10,000 km. Make sure that the
same direction of rotation is maintained.
