Notes on tire pressure
& WARNING Risk of accident due to insuffi-
cient or excessive tire pressure
Underinflated or overinflated tires pose in par-
ticular the following risks:
The tires can burst.
R
The tires can wear excessively and/or
R
unevenly.
The driving characteristics as well as the
R
steering and braking characteristics may
be greatly impaired.
Comply with the recommended tire pres-
#
sures and check the tire pressure of all
tires, including the spare wheel, regu-
larly:
Monthly
R
When the load changes
R
Before embarking on a longer journey
R
If operating conditions change, e.g. off-
R
road driving
Adjust the tire pressure, if necessary.
#
Tire pressure which is too high or too low can:
Shorten the service life of the tires.
R
Cause increased tire damage.
R
Adversely affect driving characteristics and
R
thus driving safety, e.g. due to hydroplaning.
& WARNING Risk of accident due to too low
a tire pressure
Tires with pressure that is too low can over-
heat and burst as a consequence.
In addition, they also suffer from irregular
wear, which can significantly impair the brak-
ing properties and the handling characteris-
tics.
Avoid excessively low tire pressure.
