R
unevenly, which can severely impair tire
traction.
the driving, steering and braking
R
characteristics may be severely impaired.
There is a risk of accident.
Follow recommended tire inflation pressures
and check the pressure of all the tires
including the spare wheel:
monthly, at least
R
if the load changes
R
before beginning a long journey
R
under different operating conditions, e.g.
R
off-road driving
If necessary, correct the tire pressure.
