Tyre pressure:
Check tyre pressures, including the spare, every 14 days and prior to any long journey; tyres should be
checked when cold. This also applies to vehicles with tyre pressure monitoring system.
Always inflate the spare tyre to the value specified for full load.
The ECO tyre pressure serves to achieve the smallest amount of fuel consumption possible.
Tyre pressures are shown on a label on the front left door frame.
Tyre pressure data applies to both summer and winter tyres. Incorrect tyre pressures will impair safety, vehicle
handling, comfort and fuel economy and will increase tyre wear.
Refer to Owner's Manual for approved tyres.
