– Move the pin -1- with the grinder of the inspection pin -3- in
such a way that the measurement pin of the inspection pin
-4- rests fully against the inner tread of the tyre.
– Remove the inspection pin and read off the tyre tread depth
(in mm) on the scale -2- (with tyre symbol) of the inspection
pin .
Note
Check the tread depth at several points on the total tyre cir‐
♦
cumference.
The tread depth should be the same on the total tyre circum‐
♦
ference.
♦ If the tread depth on the total tyre circumference significantly
varies, this is probably due to a wheel imbalance. The cus‐
tomer should be informed of the necessary repair measures.
5.6.3 Inspecting the tyre pressure (including
spare wheel), if necessary correcting
pressure
Special tools and workshop equipment required
♦ Tyre pressure tester e.g. VAS 5216
Tyre pressure values
Caution
♦ During pre-sales inspection, the tyres on the front and real
axles must be inflated to the "partial load" pressure vale.
♦ On Green Line vehicles, the value "Partial load/Comfort
applies."
The pressure values are also indicated on a sticker,which is
affixed to the inside of the fuel filler flap.
The tyre pressure values apply only to the tyres when cold.
Do not reduce the higher tyre pressure of warm tyres.
The tyre pressure in the spare wheel should correspond to the
highest specified tyre pressure of the respective vehicle type.
After each tyre pressure correction the calibration of the "tyre
inspection display"
⇒ "5.8 Tyre inspection display: Calibration", page 123
must be performed
