Tyre Pressure Monitoring - Vauxhall Ampera 2014 User Manual

Incorrect tyre pressures will impair
safety, vehicle handling, comfort and
fuel economy and will increase tyre

possible tyre combinations 3 194.
For the tyres approved for your
vehicle, refer to the EEC Certificate of
Conformity provided with your vehicle
or other national registration
documents.
The driver is responsible for correct
adjustment of tyre pressure.

result in considerable tyre warm-

If the tyre pressure must be reduced
