Checking tire inflation pressure
!
!
When the wheels are heavily soiled,
e.g. after driving through mud, clean
the inside of the wheels with a jet of
water.
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.

Life of tire

The service life of a tire is dependent upon
varying factors including but not limited to:
Unidirectional tires offer added advantag-

the valves or from around the rim.

Driving style

Tire pressure
Distance driven
An arrow on the sidewall indicates the in-
tended direction of rotation of the tire.
Regularly check your tire pressure at inter-
vals of no more than 14 days.
Warning!

If the tires are warm, you should only cor-
rect the tire pressure if it is too low for cur-
rent operating conditions.
Tires and spare tire should be replaced after
six years, regardless of the remaining tread.
A table on the fuel filler flap lists the spec-
ified tire inflation pressures for warm and
cold tires as well as for various operating
conditions.
