Vehicle care 211Directional tyresDirectional tyres must be mounted sothat they rotate in the correctdirection. The proper rotationdirection is indicated by a symbol(e.g. an arrow) on the sidewall.Tyre pressureCheck the pressure of cold tyres atleast every 14 days and before anylong journey. Do not forget the sparewheel.This also applies to vehicles with tyrepressure monitoring system.Unscrew the valve cap.Tyre pressure 3 250.The tyre pressure information labelon the right door frame indicates theoriginal equipment tyres and thecorrespondent tyre pressures.The tyre pressure data refers to coldtyres. It applies to summer and wintertyres.The ECO tyre pressure serves toachieve the smallest amount of fuelconsumption possible.Incorrect tyre pressures will impairsafety, vehicle handling, comfort andfuel economy and will increase tyrewear.Tyre pressures differ depending onvarious options.For the correct tyre pressure value,follow the procedure below:● Identify the engine identifiercode. Engine data 3 242.● Identify the respective tyre.The tyre pressure tables show allpossible tyre combinations 3 250.For the tyres approved for yourvehicle, refer to the EEC Certificate ofConformity provided with your vehicleor other national registrationdocuments.The driver is responsible for correctadjustment of tyre pressure.9 WarningIf the pressure is too low, this canresult in considerable tyre warm-up and internal damage, leading totread separation and even to tyreblow-out at high speeds.9 WarningFor specific tyres therecommended tyre pressure asshown in the tyre pressure tablemay exceed the maximum tyrepressure as indicated on the tyre.Never exceed the maximum tyrepressure as indicated on the tyre.
