182 Starting and driving

Tires

The tire pressure should match the current

load and speed of the car; for cars sold in

U.S. see page 231; for cars sold in Canada

see page 269.

The tire pressures given apply to cold tires,

that is tires that are the same temperature

as the outside air temperature.

The tire pressure increases as the tires

become warm (e.g. during highway driving)

with approximately 0.3 bar (4 psi). When

the temperature of the tires changes by 50°

(10°C), the tire pressure will change 0.1 bar

(2 psi).

Never reduce the pressure of a hot tire. If the

tires are hot when you check them, only

increase the pressure, if necessary.

Underinflated tires wear more quickly than

slightly overinflated tires.

If a valve is leaking, simply unscrew it and fit

a new one.

Important! Remember to adjust the tire

pressures if you change the load in the car

or intend to drive at substantially lower or

higher speeds than normal.

WARNING

Check the tire pressure at least once a

month and before long journeys. Under-

inflation can result in:

• Punctures

• Separation of the tire and tread

• Damage to the sidewalls

• Damage to the rims on poor roads

• Poor handling characteristics

• Premature tire wear

• Increased fuel consumption.
