Always inflate the spare tyre to the value specified for full load.
The ECO tyre pressure serves to achieve the smallest amount of fuel consumption possible.
Incorrect tyre pressures will impair safety, vehicle handling, comfort and fuel economy and increase tyre
wear.
Consult a workshop regarding permitted tyres and further restrictions.
