4.3 Tyre pressure
The ination pressure of all tyres as well as the spare tyre
should be checked approx. every 4 weeks and before you go
on longer journeys.
The following applies when checking ination pressure:
• Check the pressure only when the tyre is cold
(also refer
to Table 12.2 Tyre Ination Pressure).
• If checking or correcting the pressure of a warm tyre, the
pressure must be 0.3 bar higher than for a cold tyre.
The following applies for ination pressure:
- correct ination pressure (1).
- ination pressure too low (2).
- ination pressure too high (3).

04-2
If the pressure is too low, this may cause overheating of the
tyre, possibly resulting in severe damage to the tyre.
For the correct ination pressure, please refer to the table in
the chapter on “Technical Data“ or the operating instructions
for the basic vehicle.
4.4 Tread depth
Replace your tyres as soon as the tread depth is only 1.6
mm.
Tyres may not be exchanged crosswise, i.e. from the right side
of the vehicle to the left and vice versa.
Tyres age even if they are used seldom or not at all.
Tyre manufacturers‘ recommendations
• Irrespective of their tread depth, tyres should be changed
every 6 years.
• Avoid hard impacts against curbs, potholes or other
obstacles.
