Tyre pressure
What you should be mindful of
NOTICE
Always adjust the tyre pressure to the load.
▶
Check the pressure in all tyres at least once a
▶
month and before each longer ride.
Check the pressure when the tyres are cold. If nec-
▶
essary, do not reduce the elevated pressure when
the tyres are warm.
After each change in tyre pressure, save the new
▶
values in the tyre control display.
WARNING
Risk of an accident!
If tyre pressure loss is very quick, try to stop the
▶
vehicle carefully without heavy steering or heavy
braking.
Stickers with prescribed tire pressure values
The sticker with prescribed tyre pressures is located
on the inside of the fuel filler flap.
