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 such as 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 special-
ist workshop.
Do not use rims with ground or polished surface in winter conditions - there
■
is a risk of wheel damage (e.g. from the road grit).
Tyre pressure
Fig. 322 Label with a table of tyre sizes and tyre pressure value / inflate
tyres
The prescribed tyre inflation is on the sticker with pictograms
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

Tyre diameter in inches

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
Required tire pressure value for the emergency wheel
H
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 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 an incorrect tyre pressure - risk of accident.
■
In the event of very fast pressure loss, e.g. in the event of sudden tyre
■
damage, an attempt should be made to bring the vehicle carefully to a stop
without sudden steering movements and without any hard braking.
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).
