WHEELS AND TYRES

TYRE PRESSURE

Check the pressure of each tyre, in-

cluding the spare, every two weeks
and before long journeys.

The pressure should be checked with

the tyre rested and cold.

It is normal for the pressure to rise

when you are driving. If you have to
check or restore the pressure when
the tyres are warm, remember that
the pressure value must be 0.3 bar
above the specified value.

See “Wheels” in “Technical specifi-

cations” chapter for the correct tyre
inflation pressure.

Tyre pressure must be

correct to ensure good
road holding.

Wrong pressure causes uneven wear

of the tyres fig. 13:

A - Correct pressure: tyre wears

evenly.

B - Under inflated tyre: shoulder

tread wear.

C - Over-inflated tyre: centre tread

wear.

Modifications or repairs

to the electrical system
carried out incorrectly

and without bearing the features
of the system in mind can cause
malfunctions with the risk of fire.
