Checking tire pressure (Mondeo 2)

Air pressure should only be measured in cold tyres. When driving, the tyre heats up and the pressure in it increases. Therefore, the measurement may be incorrect if the measurement is taken immediately after leaving the motorway. Check the tyre pressure regularly - every three to four weeks. In branded tyres, a monthly pressure loss of 1.5% is normal. If more air comes out of the tyre, it should be carefully inspected. The tyre valves should always be closed with safety caps. If dirt gets into the valve, it may become jammed and not close tightly. The tyre pressure should never fall below a certain minimum value. The sticker on the car will indicate what pressure your tyres should have. An increase in pressure by 0.1-0.2 MPa has a positive effect: the steering is more sensitive, the tyres last longer and fuel consumption is slightly reduced. Disadvantage: the car behaves more "stiffly" on the road than with normal pressure. This tyre condition is best suited for long-distance driving on motorways.
