Inspections and Maintenance
WHEELS AND TIRES
- Remove any stones, etc. from the tread and from between the tires (if twin
wheels are fitted).
- Check for evidence of wear and damage and for nails or other foreign objects
caught in the tires.
- Check the attachment of the wheels.
- Check the tire pressures (do not forget the spare wheel). The tire pressures
should be checked and corrected while the tires are cold. See chapter on
"Technical data" or the back page of this book for the correct tire pressures.
Note:
If a worn tire is underinflated by 2 bar, the ABS control will be inoperative under
extreme conditions! Also see "Changing the wheel" in the "EMERGENCY
REPAIRS" section of this manual.
LIGHTING AND INSTRUMENTS
- Check the vehicle lighting, brake lights and instruments for correct operation.
- Also check the operation of the horn, windscreen wipers and washers.
