Fuel economy, ECO pressure
At speeds under 160 km/h, the general tyre
pressure for full load is recommended in order
to obtain optimum fuel economy.

Checking the tyre pressure
The tyre pressures must be checked every
month. This also applies to the car's spare
wheel. After several few kilometres of driving,
the tyres warm up and the pressure increases.
Check tyre pressures on cold tyres. "Cold

Inadequate tyre pressure increases fuel con-
sumption, shortens tyre lifespan and impairs
the car's roadholding. Driving on tyres with tyre
pressure that is too low could result in the tyres
