Range Rover Evoque: Tyre pressure compensation for low ambient temperature changes
A colder ambient local temperature will reduce pressure within the tyre. An effect is to decrease sidewall height and to increase tyre shoulder wear with the potential for tyre failure.
Vehicle dynamics could also be adversely affected.
Tyre pressures can be adjusted to compensate before the start of the journey. Alternatively, tyre pressures can be adjusted when the area of lower ambient temperature is reached.
In this situation, the vehicle must be left in the ambient local temperature for at least one hour before tyre pressure is adjusted.
To compensate for colder ambient temperatures, tyre pressures should be increased by 0.14 bar (2 psi, 14 kPa) for each 10°C (20°F) decrease.
Note: Ensure that correct tyre pressures are maintained when moving to areas of differing ambient temperature.

Flat spots due to long term parking
In order to minimise flat spotting, the tyre
pressures can be increased to the maximum as
stated on the tyre sidewall, for the period when
the vehicle is stationary. Tyres must be

Tyres degrade over time due to the effects of
ultraviolet light, extreme temperatures, high
loads, and environmental conditions. It is
recommended that tyres are replaced at least

Child restraint check list
Every time a child travels in the vehicle observe
the following:
- Use appropriate child restraints.
- Carefully follow the restraint system
manufacturers instructions.
- Adjust the harnesses for every child on
every trip.
- Ensure that all slack is removed from the
adult seat belt.
- Alway
Engine starting
Never start the engine, or
leave it
running, when the vehicle is in an
enclosed space. Exhaust gasses are
poisonous and can cause
unconsciousness and death if inhaled.
If the engine fails to start,
do not
continue cranking as this will discharge
the battery. It may also damage the
