TYRES
(continued)
Tyre pressures
Tyre pressures must be adhered to,
tyre pressures for
(including the spare wheel) must be
checked at least once a month and
always before a long journey (refer
to the information
pressures).
Incorrect tyre pressures
lead to abnormal tyre
wear and unusually hot
running, factors
may seriously affect safety and
lead to:
- poor roadholding,
- the risk of blow-outs or of
throwing a tread at high speed.
The pressure depends on the load
and the speed of use. Adjust the
pressures according
conditions of use (refer to the
information on Tyre pressures).
Pressures should be checked when
the tyres are cold; ignore higher
pressures which may be reached in
all wheels
hot weather or following a fast
journey.
If the tyre pressures cannot be
on Tyre checked when the tyres are cold,
assume an increase of 0.2 to 0.3 bar
(or 3 psi.).
Never deflate a hot tyre.
Note: a label (depending on country
or model) fixed to the edge or frame
of the driver's door gives the
recommended tyre pressures.
Changing wheels around

operation must be carried
out by a specialist.
Fitting different tyres may
change your vehicle as follows:
- It may mean that your vehicle
no longer conforms to current
regulations.
- It may change the way it handles
when cornering.
- It may cause the steering to be
heavy.
- It may cause tyre noise.
- It may affect the use of snow
chains.
