The specified running direction must be strictly adhered to, otherwise the fol-
lowing tyre characteristics may be degraded.
▶
Driving stability.
▶
Traction.
▶
Tyre noise and tyre wear.
WARNING
Never use tyres if you do not know anything about their condition and
■
age - There is a risk of accident.
Never drive with damaged tyres – there is the risk of an accident.
■
CAUTION
The tyres must be protected from contact with substances (e.g. oil, grease
■
and fuel) which could damage them. If the tyres with these substances come
into contact, then we recommend that you check this in a specialist workshop.
Do not use rims with ground or polished surfaces in winter conditions - there
■
is a risk of rim damage (e.g through salt spreading).
Notice
We recommend that any work on the wheels or tyres be carried out by a spe-
■
cialist garage.
We recommend that you use tyres, snow chains and full wheel trims from

This information serves merely as information for the prescribed tyre pres-
sure. This is not a list of shared tyre sizes for your vehicle. These are in the
vehicle's technical documentation, in the declaration of conformity (in so-
called COC document) and listed on the vehicle data
Tyre pressure value on the front axle
F
Tyre pressure value on the rear axle

Checking tyre pressure
Check the tyre pressure (including that of the emergency or spare wheel) at
least once a month and also before setting off on a long journey.
Always check the inflation pressure when the tyres are cold. Do not reduce the
higher pressure of warm tyres.
In vehicles with tyre pressure monitoring, tyre pressure values must be saved
each time the pressures are changed
WARNING
Do not drive with incorrect tyre pressure, there is a risk of an accident.
■
In the event of very rapid pressure loss (e.g. in the event of tyre damage)
■
an attempt should be made to bring the vehicle carefully to a stop without
sudden steering movements and without any hard braking - risk of acci-
dent.
Notice
The declaration of conformity (the so-called COC document), can be obtained
from a ŠKODA partner.
