Use the valve cap key to mak e it easier to
unscrew the v alve c aps. The key is located
on the inside of the tank flap. On vehicles
with Tyre pressure control sy stem 3, there
is an adapter in the v alve cap k ey. For
fitting the pressure ga uge ada pter to the
valv e – see page 212.
Tyre inflation pressures – see page 290 and
label on inside of tank flap. After changing
tyre siz es, have the la bel replaced.
Do not reduce tyre pressure when the ty res
are warm. Otherwise the pressure m ay
drop below the permissible minim um when
the ty res cool down.
After having chec ked the tyre pressures,
tig hten the va lv e ca ps using the v alve cap
key .
Incorrect infla tion pressures will imp air
safety, v ehicle handling, comfort and fuel
economy and will increase tyre wear.
If the pressure is too low, this can result in
considera ble ty re warm -up and internal
damage, leading to trea d separation and
even to tyre blow-out at high sp eeds.
Hidden ty re d amage is not eliminated by
subsequently adjusting the inflation
pressure.
Incorrect ty re pressure may result in tyre
blow-out.
Tyre condition, wheel condition
Drive over edges slowly and at a right
angle if possible. Driv ing ov er sharp edg es
can lead to hidd en ty re damage and wheel
dam age which is only noticed later on.
When p arking, ensure that the tyres are not
pressed against the edge of the kerb.
C heck ty res regularly for d amage (foreign
bodies, punctures, cuts, cracks, bulges in
sidewa lls). C heck wheels for dam age. In
the event of damag e or ab normal wear,
consult a workshop. We recommend a
Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.
