Recommended air pressure
| Recommended air pressure |
The air pressure should normally be taken on cold tyres, which means that the tyre must be at the same temperature as the surrounding air.
The pressure will rise in hot tyres (e.g. after motorway driving) and drop as the temperature drops.
The following values for air pressure apply at 20°C . The air pressure will rise and drop 0.1 bar (2 psi) respectively for each 10°C change in temperature.
For each occupant fewer, the tyre pressure can be lowered by 0.1 bar (2 psi). Max. load = 5 persons and luggage.

However, the tyre pressure can be decreased by 0.1 bar for each passenger less. Max. load = 5 persons and luggage.
