Tyre pressure

Recommended tyre pressure

The tyre pressure label on the driver’s side

door pillar shows which pressures the tyres

should have at different load and speed con-

ditions.

Stated on the decal:

• Tyre pressure for the car’s recommended

wheel size

• ECO pressure

• Spare wheel pressure (Temporary Spare).

Checking the tyre pressure

Check the tyre pressure regularly.

Even after several kilometres of driving the

tyres warm up and the pressure increases, so

air must not be released if the pressure is

checked when the tyres are warm, while the

pressure must be increased if it is too low.

Inadequately inflated tyres adversely affect

fuel consumption, tyre lifespan and the car’s

roadholding. Driving on tyres with tyre pres-

sure that is too low can also result in the tyres

overheating and disintegrating.

For information on the correct tyre pressure,

refer to the tyre pressure table on page 159.

("Cold tyres" means the tyres are the same

temperature as the ambient temperature.)

Fuel economy, ECO pressure

At speeds under 160 km/h, the general tyre

pressure for full load is recommended in or-

der to obtain optimum fuel economy.

Tyre pressure affects travelling comfort, road

noise and steering characteristics.

NOTE

Tyre pressure decreases over time, this is a

natural phenomenon. Tyre pressure also

varies depending on ambient temperature.
