Tyre Pressure - Vauxhall Combo Owner's Manual

Some brands of tyres have a beaded edge
for alloy wheels to protect against
damage. If a wheel trim is used on steel
wheels with beaded-edge tyres, comply
with the following:
z The use of wheel trims and tyres that
Vauxhall has approved for the vehicle
and therefore fulfil all requirements for
the relevant combination of wheels and
tyres.
z If the wheel trims and tyres used are not
Vauxhall-approved, the tyres must not
have a beaded edge.

Warning
Use of unsuitable tyres or wheel trims
could lead to sudden loss of air and
thereby accidents.

Tyre pressure

Check tyre pressure, including the spare
wheel, at least every 14 days and prior to
any long journey; the tyres should be
checked when cold. Don't forget to check
the spare 3.

Use the valve cap key to make unscrewing
the valve caps easier. The key is located on
the inside of the tank flap.
Tyre pressures – see pages 205, 206.
Do not reduce tyre pressure when the tyres
are warm. Otherwise the pressure may
drop below the permissible minimum when
the tyres cool down.
After having checked the tyre pressure,
tighten the valve caps using the valve cap
key.

Incorrect inflation pressures will impair
safety, vehicle handling, comfort and fuel
economy and will increase tyre wear.
Pressure that is too low can result in
considerable tyre warm-up and internal
damage, leading to tread separation and
even to tyre blow-out at high speeds.
Hidden tyre damage is not eliminated by
adjusting the tyre pressure.

Warning
Incorrect tyre pressure could lead to a flat
tyre.
