Tyre p r essure
Check ty re pressures when cold, at least
every 14 da ys and prior to any long
journey. Don't forget to check the spare.
Use the valve cap key 3 to make
unscrewing the v alve caps easier. The
valv e cap key is loca ted on the inside of the
tank flap.
Tyre pressures - see page 219.
Increa sed pressure resulting from tyre
warm-up must not be red uced, otherw ise
the p ressure may drop below the
permissible minimum when the tyres cool
down.
After having chec ked the tyre pressures,
securely tighten the valv e ca ps.
Incorrect infla tion pressures will imp air
safety, v ehicle handling, comfort and fuel
economy and will increase tyre wear.
If the pressure is too low, this can result in
considera ble ty re warm -up and internal
damage, leading to trea d separation and
even to tyre blow-out at high sp eeds.
Hidden ty re d amage is not eliminated by
subsequently adjusting the inflation
pressure.

Warning
Incorrect tyre pressure could lead to a flat
tyre.
