In vehicles with tyre pressure monitoring
system 3 there is an adapter in the valve
cap key. Screw adapter to valve before
attaching tyre pressure gauge – see
page 218.
Tyre pressure, see page 337 and the
adhesive foil 3 on the inside of the tank
flap. Have adhesive foil replaced after
changing to different tyre size.
Do not reduce tyre pressure when the tyres
are warm. Otherwise the pressure may
drop below the permissible minimum when
the tyres cool down.

After having checked the tyre pressure,
tighten the valve caps using the valve cap
key.
Incorrect inflation pressures will impair
safety, vehicle handling, comfort and fuel
economy and will increase tyre wear.
If the pressure is too low, this can result in
considerable tyre warm-up and internal
damage, leading to tread separation and
even to tyre blow-out at high speeds.
Hidden tyre damage is not eliminated by
adjusting the inflation pressure.
9 Warning
Incorrect ty re pressure could lead to a flat
tyre.
