WARNING
Underinflated or overinflated tires pose
the following risks:
the tires may burst, especially as the
R
load 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
R
steering and braking, may be greatly
impaired.
There is a risk of an accident.
Follow recommended tire inflation pres-
sures 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,
R
e.g. off-road driving
If necessary, correct the tire pressure.
The specifications on the sample Tire and
Loading Information placard and tire pres-
sure tables are examples. Tire pressure spec-
ifications are vehicle-specific and may
deviate from the data shown here. The tire
pressure specifications that are valid for
your vehicle can be found on the Tire and
Loading Information placard and tire pres-
sure table on the vehicle.
The recommended tire pressures for the tires
mounted at the factory can be found on the
labels described here.
Further information on tire pressures can be
