Tires and wheels
Life of tire
Direction of rotation
Correct the tire pressure only when tires
are cold.
The service life of a tire is dependent upon
varying factors including but not limited to:
Unidirectional tires offer added advantag-
es, such as better hydroplaning perfor-
mance. To benefit, however, you must
ensure the tires rotate in the direction
specified.
Regularly check your tire pressure at inter-
vals of no more than 14 days.

Driving style
If the tires are warm, you should only cor-
rect the tire pressure if it is too low for cur-
rent operating conditions.

An arrow on the sidewall indicates the in-
tended direction of tire rotation.
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.

Checking tire inflation pressure
Tires and spare tire should be replaced after
six years, regardless of the remaining tread.

Warning!
The pressures listed for light loads are
minimum values offering high driving
comfort.
!
If the tire pressure repeatedly drops:
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 for-
eign objects.
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.
ț
Check to see whether air is leaking from
the valves or from around the rim.
