262 Vehicle care Directional tyres Directional tyres should be mounted so that they rotate in the correct direction. The proper rotation direction is indicated by a symbol (e.g. an arrow) on the sidewall. Tyre pressure Check the pressure of cold tyres at least every 14 days and before any long journey. Do not forget the spare wheel. This also applies to vehicles with tyre deflation detection system. The tyre pressure information label on the left B-pillar indicates the original equipment tyres and the correspondent tyre pressures. tyres. It applies to summer and winter tyres. pressure specified for full load. safety, vehicle handling, comfort and fuel economy and will increase tyre wear. adjustment of tyre pressure. For the tyres approved for your vehicle, refer to the EEC Certificate of Conformity provided with your vehicle or other national registration documents. various options. For the correct tyre pressure value, identify the respective tyre in the tyre pressure table information label as described before. 9 Warning If the pressure is too low, this can result in considerable tyre warm- up and internal damage, leading to tread separation and even to tyre blow-out at high speeds. 9 Warning For specific tyres the recommended tyre pressure as shown in the tyre pressure table may exceed the maximum tyre pressure as indicated on the tyre. Never exceed the maximum tyre pressure as indicated on the tyre. Temperature dependency The tyre pressure depends on the temperature of the tyre. During driving, tyre temperature and pressure increase. Tyre pressure values provided on the tyre information label and tyre pressure chart are valid for cold tyres, which means at 20 °C. |
