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 damaged tyres or tyres that are older than 6 years old – risk of
accident.
CAUTION
The tyres must be protected from contact with substances (e.g. oil, grease
■
and fuel) which could damage them. If the tyres come into contact with these
substances, then we recommend you have this checked out 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).
Tyre pressure
Fig. 243 Label with a table of tyre sizes and tyre pressure value / inflate
tyres
The prescribed tyre pressure is indicated on the sticker with pictograms
» Fig. 243
(for some countries, the pictograms are replaced with a text).
Tyre pressure is always to match the load.
Inflation pressure for half load
B
Inflation pressure for environmentally friendly operation (slightly lower
C
fuel consumption and emissions)
Inflation pressure for full load
D
Tyre diameter in inches
E
This information serves merely as information for the prescribed tyre
pressure. This is not a list of shared tyre sizes for your vehicle. These are in
the vehicle's technical documentation, as well as in the declaration of con-
formity (in so-called COC document).
Tyre pressure value on the front axle
F
Tyre pressure value on the rear axle
G
Check tyre pressures
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 on 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 - risk of 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.
Note
The declaration of conformity (the so-called. COC document) can be obtained
from a ŠKODA Partner (only valid for some countries and some models).
