Show answer

Correct answer

  • BLa más alta de las fijadas por el fabricante.The highest of the pressures set by the manufacturer.
Explanation

If the spare wheel is the same as the others, it is advisable to inflate it to the highest pressure set by the manufacturer, because it gradually loses air over time. When it is fitted, it is adjusted to the correct pressure as soon as possible.
