ARNING Risk of accident due to too low
a tire pressure
Tires with pressure that is too low can over-
heat and burst as a consequence.
In addition, they also su er from irregular
wear, which can signi cantly impair the brak-
ing properties and the handling characteris-
tics.
Avoid excessively low tire pressure.
