WARNING
Insufficient tread depth or different tread
depths on different wheels reduce safety. This
is particularly evident in vehicle handling,
when there is a risk of aquaplaning in deep
puddles of water and when driving through
corners. Braking is also adversely affected -
risk of accident!

WARNING
Always adjust the tyre pressures to match
your driving style and the load the vehicle is
carrying.
- Excessive loads can cause you to lose control
of the vehicle - risk of accident!
- Under-inflated tyres flex more and can over­
heat at high speeds or when the vehicle is
carrying a heavy load. This could cause a
tyre blow-out and you could lose control of
the vehicle - risk of accident!
- Incorrect tyre pressures increase tyre wear
and adversely affect vehicle braking and
handling - risk of accident!

CAUTION
Replace any lost valve caps to prevent dam­
age to the tyre valves.

For the sake of the environment
Under-inflated tyres will increase the fuel con­
sumption.
