Inspecting the tyre tread depth (includ-
ing spare wheel) and entering
This value may differ in individual countries as a result of
differing statutory requirements.
If the tyre tread depth is close to the legal minimum, in
other words if no further tread exists at the points around
the circumference of the tyre at which the 1.6 mm high
wear indicators are positioned, the customer should be
informed of the necessary repair measures.
Tightening wheel bolts to specific torque
Special tools, test and measuring equipment and
auxiliary items required
♦Torque wrench
Tightening torque for steel and light alloy wheels 120 Nm.
Inspecting the tyre inflation pressure (in-
cluding spare wheel) and correcting the
tyre inflation pressure if necessary
Special tools, test and measuring equipment and
auxiliary items required
♦Tyre inflation pressure tester
♦The tyre inflation pressures are indicated on a stick-
er,which is affixed to the inside of the fuel filler flap.
♦The tyre inflation pressures indicated on the sticker
apply only to the tyres when cold. Do not reduce the
higher inflation pressure of warm tyres.
♦If winter tyres are fitted, the relevant tyre inflation pres-
sure should be increased by 0.2 bar/20 kPa.
Tyre inflation pressure table
The instructions in the Workshop Repairs Manual always
have priority over those for the vehicle.
