Wheels and tyres
Recommended tyre pressure
The decal located on the inside of the fuel
filler flap indicates the correct tyre pressure.
Your car is fully approved, which means that
you may not deviate from those dimensions
and performance ratings indicated in the
vehicle registration. The only exceptions to
these regulations are winter and studded
tyres. If a winter or studded tyre is used the
car must not be driven faster than the tyre
classification, which is usually class Q with a
maximum permitted speed of 160 km/h (100
mph).
Tyre pressure
Checking the tyre pressure
Check tyre pressure regularly. The correct
tyre pressures are specified in the tyre
pressure table. The specified tyre pressures
relate to cold tyres (vary according to the
outside temperature). Driving on tyres with
incorrect tyre pressures impairs the car’s
handling and increases tyre wear. Tyres get
warm and pressure increases after just a few
kilometres driving. Therefore, do not let out
air if you check the pressure when the tyres
are warm. However, you should increase the
pressure if it is too low.
