Directional tyres must be mounted
so that they rotate in the correct
direction. The proper rotation
direction is indicated by a symbol
(e.g. an arrow) on the sidewall.

Check the pressure of cold tyres at
least every 14 days and before any
long journey. Do not forget the
spare wheel. This also applies to
vehicles with tyre pressure
monitoring system.
Unscrew the valve cap.
Tyre pressure0Tyre
Pressure 0209.
The tyre pressure information label
on the left door frame indicates the
original equipment tyres and the
correspondent tyre pressures.
Always inflate the spare tyre to the
pressure specified for full load.
The ECO tyre pressure serves to
achieve the lowest fuel consumption
possible.
Incorrect tyre pressures will impair
safety, vehicle handling, comfort and
fuel economy and will increase
tyre wear.
Tyre pressures differ depending on
various options. For the correct tyre
pressure value, follow the procedure
below: 1. Identify the engine identifier code.
0Engine Data 0207.
2. Identify the respective tyre.

of Conformity provided with your
vehicle or other national registration
documents.

adjustment of tyre pressure.
{Warning
If the pressure is too low, this can
result in considerable tyre
warmup and internal damage,
leading to tread separation and
even to tyre blow-out at high
speeds.
If the tyre pressure must be reduced
or increased on a vehicle with tyre
pressure monitoring system, switch
off ignition.
After adjusting tyre pressure switch
on ignition and select the according
