182 Vehicle care The maximum speed is achievable at kerb weight with driver (75 kg) plus 125 kg payload. Optional equipment could reduce the maximum speed of the vehicle. 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 pressure monitoring system. unscrewing the valve caps easier. The valve cap key is located on the inside of the tank flap. tyres. It applies to summer and winter tyres. pressure specified for full load. achieve the smallest amount of fuel consumption possible. Incorrect tyre pressures will impair safety, vehicle handling, comfort and fuel economy and will increase tyre wear. various options. For the correct tyre pressure value, follow the procedure below: 1. Identify the engine identifier code. Engine data 3 207. 2. Identify the respective tyre. The tyre pressure tables show all possible tyre combinations 3 212. vehicle, refer to the EEC Certificate of Conformity provided with your vehicle or other national registration documents. adjustment of tyre pressure. 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. If the tyre pressure must be reduced or increased on a vehicle with tyre pressure monitoring system, switch off ignition. 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. 10 kPa for a 10 °C temperature increase. This must be considered when warm tyres are checked. |
