3.1 Tires
3.2 Tire pressure
Only use those tires designated in the registrati-
on documents. Other tire sizes may only be used
with the permission of the manufacturer.
Check the tire pressure on all tires as well as the
spare tire approximately every four weeks and
before all long trips.
Rules for checking tire pressure:
• Check and x tire pressure every four weeks
(but at least every three months) and before
every drive.
• If driving on low tire pressure is unavoidable
(i.e., from the campsite to the nearest service
station) you should drive at a maximum speed
of 20 km/h.
• Raise the pressure of the base vehicle's rear
tires by 0.2 bar.
• Tires must be checked when they are cold.
• If tires are checked or the tire pressure cor-
rected when tires are warm, the pressure
must be up to 0.3 bar higher than if the tires
are cold.
Rules for tire pressure:
- correct tire pressure (1)
- tire pressure too low (2)
- tire pressure too high (3)
If the tire pressure is too low, the tire
can overheat. This can result in
serious damage.
Correct tire pressure can be found in
the table on wheels/tire pressure in
the chapter entitled "Technical Infor
mation" or in the table in the gas
container.
If snow chains are used, note the manufacturer's
assembly instructions.
