the original equipment tyres and the
correspondent tyre pressures.
The tyre pressure data refers to cold
tyres. It applies to summer and winter
tyres.
when the tread has worn down as far
as one of the tread wear indicators
(TWI). Their position is indicated by
markings on the sidewall.
Temperature dependency
The tyre pressure depends on the
temperature of the tyre. During
driving, tyre temperature and pressure
increase. Tyre pressure values provided
on the tyre information label and tyre
pressure chart are valid for cold tyres,
which means at 20 °C.
The pressure increases by nearly 10
kPa for a 10 °C temperature increase.
This must be considered when warm
tyres are checked.
If there is more wear at the front than
the rear, swap round front wheels and
rear wheels periodically. Ensure that
the direction of rotation of the wheels
remains the same.
If you have driven for more than 10
minutes or more than 6 miles (10
kilometres) at over 31 mph (50 km/h),
add 0.3 bar (30 kPa) to the values
indicated on the label.
Tyres age, even if they are not used.
We recommend tyre replacement every
6 years.
Always inflate the spare tyre to the
pressure specified for full load.
Incorrect tyre pressures will impair
safety, vehicle handling, comfort and
fuel economy and will increase tyre
wear.
TREAD DEPTH
CHANGING TYRE AND
WHEEL SIZE
Check tread depth at regular intervals.
For safety reasons, it is recommended
that the tread depth of the tyres on one
axle should not vary by more than 2
mm.
If tyres of a different size than those
fitted at the factory are used, it may be
necessary to reprogramme the Tyre
Underinflation Detection System and
make other vehicle modifications.
Using different size wheels and tyres
from those specified can affect the
lifetime of tyres, wheel rotation, ground
clearance, the speedometer reading
and have an adverse effect on road
holding.
Tyre pressures differ depending on
various options. For the correct tyre
pressure value, follow the procedure
below:
1. Identify the engine identifier code.
2. Identify the respective tyre.
The tyre pressure tables show all
possible tyre combinations.
For the tyres approved for your
vehicle, refer to the EEC Certificate
of Conformity provided with your
vehicle or other national registration
documents.
Fitting different tyres on the front
and rear axles can cause the ESC to
mistime.
Have the label with tyre pressures
replaced.
The driver is responsible for correct
adjustment of tyre pressure.
