Tires: Testing and Inspection

Running gear maintenance: Tyres and spare wheel: Check the condition and the tyre pressure

Checking Condition

Tyres are a safety element which fulfil the demands placed on them only if they have the correct air pressure and a sufficient tread depth.

WARNING:
- Danger of injury and damage to property as a result of modified handling behaviour if the pressure in the tyres falls below the minimum values!
- Danger of injury and damage to property as a result of modified handling behaviour in the case of insufficient tread depth, foreign bodies, pricks, cracks and bulges in the sidewall (ply breakage)!
- The air pressure must never be lower than the values specified (these are minimum pressures)!
- A visual inspection of the tyres must be carried out!

1. Check the condition and the tyre pressure.

Valve caps protect the valve from dust and dirt and therefore from damage.

2. Always screw on the caps tightly and replace missing valve caps.
