See "VEHICLE SPECIFICATION" in the index for
correct tyre inflation pressure.
Tyre condition should be inspected before driv-
ing and tyre pressure should be checked each
time you fill your fuel tank or at least once a
month using a tyre pressure gauge.
Incorrect tyre inflation pressures will:
• Increase tyre wear.
• Impair vehicle handling and safe operation.
• Affect ride comfort.
• Reduce fuel economy.
If tyre pressures are too low, tyres can over-
heat and suffer internal damage, tread sepa-
ration, and even a blowout at high speeds.
Even if you later adjust the inflation pressure
of your tyres, previous driving with low pres-
sure may have damaged the tyres.
