Tyre diameter in inches
This information serves merely as information for the prescribed tyre
pressure. This is not a list of shared tyre sizes for your vehicle. These are in
the vehicle's technical documentation, as well as in the declaration of con-
formity (in so-called COC document).
Tyre pressure value on the front axle
Tyre pressure value on the rear axle
Check tyre pressures
Check the tyre pressure (including that of the emergency or spare wheel) at
least once a month and also before setting off on a long journey.
Always check the inflation pressure when the tyres are cold. Do not reduce
the higher pressure of warm tyres.
In vehicles with tyre pressure monitoring, tyre pressure values must be saved
each time the pressures are changed » page 245.
WARNING
■
Do not drive with an incorrect tyre pressure - risk of accident.
■
In the event of very fast pressure loss, e.g. in the event of sudden tyre
damage, an attempt should be made to bring the vehicle carefully to a stop
without sudden steering movements and without any hard braking.
Note
The declaration of conformity (the so-called. COC document) can be obtained
from a ŠKODA Partner (only valid for some countries and some models).
Tyre wear and wheel change
Fig. 304 Tyre wear indicator / wheel change
E
F
G
The tyre wear increases in the following circumstances.
▶
Incorrect tyre pressure.
▶
Driving style (e.g. fast cornering, rapid acceleration / deceleration).
▶
Incorrect balancing of wheels (have the wheels balanced after changing
tyres / repair or with “restlessness” on the steering).
▶
Wheel alignment error.
Wear indicators are located in the profile of the tyres which display the per-
missible minimum tread depth » Fig. 304 - . A tyre is to be regarded as worn
out when this indicator is flush with the tread. Markings on the walls of the
tyres with the letters “TWI” or other symbols (e.g. ) indicate the position of
the wear indicators.
For uniform wear on all tyres, we recommend that you change the wheels ev-
ery 10 000 km according to the schedule » Fig. 304 - .
WARNING
■
Change when they are worn down to the wear indicators at the latest -
risk of accident.
■
Improper wheel alignment affects the driving behaviour - there is an acci-
dent.
■
Unusual vibrations or “pulling” of the vehicle to one side could be a sign of
tyre damage. Reduce speed and stop! If no tyre damage is evident, seek the
assistance of a specialist garage.
Spare wheel
A fully-fledged spare wheel Is identical to the wheels mounted on the vehicle.
A spare wheel that is not fully-fledged is provided with a warning label, which
is displayed on the rim. Only use this to reach the nearest specialist garage
since it is not intended for permanent use.
Instructions for using an spare wheel that is not fully-fledged
▶
Do not cover the signs.
▶
Be particularly observant when driving.
Inflate the spare wheel with the max. prescribed inflation pressure » page 268,
WARNING
An incomplete spare wheel can only be used for a short time in the event of
a breakdown and while driving carefully.
