Tyre Pressures; Changing Wheels Around - Renault Sandero Owner's Manual

TYRES
(continued)

Tyre pressures

Tyre pressures must be respected.
Tyre pressures for all wheels (including
the spare wheel) must be checked at
least once a month and always before
a long journey (refer to the information
on "Tyre pressures" at the beginning of
this document).
Incorrect tyre pressures
lead to abnormal tyre wear
and unusually hot running.
These are factors which
may seriously affect safety and lead
to:
– poor road holding,
– risk of blowouts or throwing a
tread.
Tyre pressures depend on the load
and the driving speed. Adjust the
pressures according to the condi-
tions of use. (Refer to the informa-
tion on "Tyre pressures" at the be-
ginning of this document).
5.8
Pressures should be checked when the
tyres are cold; ignore higher pressures
which may be reached in hot weather
or following a fast journey.
If tyre pressures cannot be checked
when the tyres are cold, assume an in-
crease of 0.2 to 0.3 bar.
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.
Please be aware that a
poorly tightened or miss-
ing valve cap can make the
tyres less airtight and lead
to pressure loss.
Always use valve caps identical to
those fitted originally and tighten
them fully.

Changing wheels around

This practice is not recommended.
Emergency spare wheel
Refer to the information on the
"Emergency spare wheel"
"Changing a wheel" in Section 5.
Fitting new tyres
For safety reasons, this op-
eration 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 regu-
lations.
– It may change the way it handles
when cornering.
– Heavy steering.
– It may affect the use of snow
chains.
