correct tyre pressure, move the
compressor switch G to position 0,
remove the power plug F from the
socket, unscrew the hose C and
fasten the valve cap.

TYRE CARE

To make sure the front and rear tyres of
your vehicle wear evenly and last longer,
we recommend that you swap the tyres
from front to rear and vice versa at regular
intervals of between 3000 and 6000 miles
(5000 and 10000 kilometres).
If you have to mount a kerb, do so slowly
and approach it with the wheels at
right-angles to the curb.
Examine the tyres regularly for cuts, foreign
objects and uneven wear of the tread.
Uneven wear could mean that the wheel
alignment is outside specification.
Check the tyre pressures (including the
spare) when cold, every two weeks.

WARNING
Do not scrub the sidewalls of the
tyres when you are parking.
