Practical advice
Tyre pressure
Tyre pressure
Check the specified tyre pressure regu-
larly – at least once a week and before
longer journeys – when the tyres are
cold.
Danger.
Always observe the specified tyre pres-
sures for your bus. The temperature and
pressure of the tyres increase when the
bus is in motion. For this reason, you
should never reduce the pressure of warm
tyres. The tyre pressures would then be
too low once the tyres had cooled. If the
tyre air pressure is too low, the tyre is li-
able to burst, particularly with increasing
numbers of passengers/load and speed.
This could result in you losing control of
your bus and causing an accident, thereby
injuring yourself and other people.
Note:
If the tyre pressure is too low, this leads
to intensive heating of the tyres, in-
creased tyre wear, changes in directional
stability and increased fuel consumption.
Note:
If the tyre pressure is too high, this res-
ults in a longer braking distance, poorer
tyre grip and increased tyre wear.
Caution:
Caps on the tyre inflation valves pro-
tect the valve inserts from moisture and
dirt. The caps on the tyre inflation valves
should therefore always be screwed on
tightly.
On-screen tyre pressure monitor
The “Tyres” menu window is available
in buses equipped with electronic tyre
pressure monitoring.
The tyre pressure monitor is a conveni-
ence system designed to help you to
check tyre pressures regularly and is-
sues a warning if a tyre is overinflated or
loses pressure.
Danger.
It is always your responsibility to ensure
that the tyres are inflated to the correct
pressure.
Note:
Tyre pressure increases or decreases by
approximately 30 to 40 kPa (0.3 to 0.4
bar, 4.4 to 5.8 psi) with every 10 °C in-
crease or decrease in air temperature re-
spectively. Bear this temperature-related
change in tyre pressure in mind if you are
checking tyre pressures indoors and the
temperature indoors is higher than the
temperature outdoors. Example: Room
