Check the pressure of each tyre, including the spare, every two weeks and before long journeys. The pressure should be checked with the tyre rested and cold.
For the correct tyre inflation pressure, see “Wheels” in “Technical specifications” section.
Incorrect pressure causes abnormal tyre wear:
Tyres must be replaced when the tread wears down to 1,6 mm. In any case, comply with the laws in the country where the car is being driven.
IMPORTANT NOTES
Remember that road
holding depends also on the correct tyre inflating pressure. |
If the pressure is too
low the tyre overheats and this can cause it serious damage. |
Do not cross switch the
tyres, moving them from the right of the car to the left and vice versa. |
Never submit alloy rims
to repainting treatments requiring to use temperatures exceeding 150°C since the mechanical properties of the wheels could be impaired. |
