Recommended tyre pressure
| Recommended tyre pressure |
Tyre pressure should be checked on cold tyres, which means that the tyre must have the same temperature as the surroundings.
Pressure increases in hot tyres (e.g. fast motorway driving) and drops as the temperature decreases.
The following tyre pressures are at 20°C . The pressure drops or rises 0.1 bar (2 psi) for every 10°C.
For each occupant fewer, the tyre pressure can be lowered by 0.1 bar (2 psi). Max. load = 5 persons and luggage.
