Wheels and Tyres

Tyre condition, wheel
condition
Drive over edges slowly and at right
angles if possible. Driving over
sharp edges can cause tyre and
wheel damage. Do not trap tyres on
the kerb when parking.
Regularly check the wheels for
damage. Seek the assistance of a
repairer in the event of damage or
unusual wear.

Winter Tyres

Winter tyres improve driving safety
at temperatures below 7°C and
should therefore be fitted on all
wheels.

Tyre Pressure

Check the pressure of cold tyres at
least every 14 days and before any
long journey. Do not forget the
spare wheel.
Unscrew the valve cap.
Black plate (38,1)
Tyre pressures label is on the
driver's door frame.
The tyre pressure data refers to cold
tyres. It applies to summer and
winter tyres.
Always inflate the spare tyre to the
pressure specified for full load.
Incorrect tyre pressures will impair
safety, vehicle handling, comfort and
fuel economy and will increase
tyre wear.
