Tires and wheels
Life of tire
Direction of rotation
If the tires are warm you should only
correct the tire pressure if it is too low for
current operating conditions.
The service life of a tire is dependent upon
varying factors including but not limited to:
Unidirectional tires offer added advan-
tages, such as better hydroplaning perfor-
mance. To benefit, however, you must
make sure the tires rotate in the direction
specified.
A table on the fuel filler flap lists the
specified tire inflation pressures for warm
and cold tires as well as for various
operating conditions.

The pressures listed for light loads are
minimum values offering high driving
comfort.
Checking tire inflation pressure
Tires and spare tire should be replaced after
six years, regardless of the remaining tread.
Warning!
G
Increased inflation pressures listed for
heavier loads may also be used for light
loads. These higher pressures produce
favorable handling characteristics. The
ride of the vehicle, however, will be
somewhat harder. Never exceed the
max. values or inflate tires below the
min. values listed in the fuel filler flap.
!
If the tire pressure drops repeatedly:
Keep unmounted tires in a cool, dry
place with as little exposure to light as
possible. Protect tires from contact
with oil, grease and gasoline.
ț
Check the tires for punctures from
foreign objects.
ț
Check to see whether air is leaking from
the valves or from around the rim.
Correct the tire pressure only when tires
are cold.
Regularly check your tire pressure at
intervals of no more than 14 days.
