Tire pressure specifications
Operation with a trailer: the applicable
value for the rear tires is the maximum tire
pressure value stated in the table inside the
fuel filler flap.
G WARNING
Underinflated or overinflated tires pose the
following risks:
the tires may burst, especially as the load
R
and vehicle speed increase.
the tires may wear excessively and/or
R
unevenly, which may greatly impair tire
traction.
the driving characteristics, as well as steer-
R
ing and braking, may be greatly impaired.
There is a risk of an accident.
Follow recommended tire inflation pressures
and check the pressure of all the tires includ-
ing 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.
The recommended tire pressures for the tires
mounted at the factory can be found on the
labels described here.
