The ECO tyre press ure serves to ac hieve the smalles t amount of fu el consumption possible.
Incorrect tyre press ures will imp air safety, vehicl e handling, co mfort and fue l economy an d increase tyre
wear.
Warning:
If the pressure is too low, this can re sult in consid erable tyre warm-up and internal damage, leading to tre ad
