Highway driving

Tyres

Adjust the tyre inflation pressures to
specification. Low tyre inflation pressures
will result in overheating and possible
failure of the tyres.
Avoid using worn or damaged tyres
which may result in reduced traction or
tyre failure.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
Never exceed the maximum tyre infla-
tion pressure shown on the tyres.
WARNING
• Underinflated
tyres can cause poor handling,
loss of vehicle control, and sud-
den tyre failure leading to acci-
dents, injuries, and even death.
Always check tyres for proper
inflation before driving. For prop-
er tyre pressures, refer to "Tyres
and wheels" in section 8.
• Driving on tyres with no or insuf-
1VQA1004R ficient tread is dangerous. Worn-
out tyres can result in loss of
vehicle control, collisions, injury,
and even death. Worn-out tyres
should be replaced as soon as
possible and should never be
used for driving. Always check
the tyre tread before driving your
car. For further information and
tread limits, refer to "Tyres and
wheels" in section 7.

Fuel, engine coolant and engine oil

High speed travel consumes more fuel
than urban motoring. Do not forget to
or overinflated
check both engine coolant and engine
oil.

Drive belt

A loose or damaged drive belt may result
in overheating the engine.
