Inflating the tyres
> Read and follow the operating instructions on the
compressor.
> Please refer to chapter "Inflating tyres" on
page 240.
1. Connect the compressor to a plug socket in the
vehicle and inflate the tyre to at least 2.5 bar (
36 psi). If this tyre pressure cannot be reached,
the tyre is too severely damaged. You must not
continue driving with this tyre.
2. Screw valve cap onto the tyre valve F.
Checking pressure
e Check the tyre pressure after driving for approx.
10 minutes. If the tyre pressure is less than
1.5 bar (22 psi), do not continue driving.

page 280.
