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.
The air pressure can be reduced with 0.1 bar for each occupant less. Max load = 5 occupants with luggage.
