What is the difference between the first and second row? they both look the same besides the "Eco" label, what does it mean, and should i inflate my tires to the eco setting? 

Living in a fairly warm place (mostly 30c+)

The difference between the first and second row (and also the 3rd and 4th) is that they are pressure recommendations for different wheel diameters.

Thanks for the quick answer, but i was referring to three people and suitcases symbols

Look at it again  Front tyre pressures and rear tyre pressures under each picture. Rear pressure goes up

Do you mean the first and second column: Minor increase in fuel economy at the expense of a minor decrease in comfort

You are best to check your tyre pressures with an accurate reliable gauge, these can be very inexpensive to buy and use the same gauge to check the four tyres when the tyres are 'cold' this is usually early morning before the sun is on on them or at later night when the car has not been driven for a while.

 

Check the four tyres with your accurate reliable gauge as above and get the tyres to the tyre pressures in the first column(s) settings for your wheel size and drive around for a few days at that setting and see how it suits your driving, environment and vehicle use then inflate the four tyres to the 'Eco' pressures and drive around for a few days at those settings to see which your prefer or is best for your driving, environment and vehicle use.

 

Tyres are a very underrated but important component in the braking, steering and suspension systems on the car, despite all the electronics and computer programs they are the only four small patches of 'rubber' in contact with the driving surface and the correct tyre pressures are important for safety and economy.  Do not just rely on the car's warning systems as a driver you need to check things before they go wrong and to prevent them going wrong and this includes things like tyre pressures.

 

There is lots of information about tyres and their maintenance on the internet and tyre manufacturers' websites, including this forum.

 

Good luck.

Also @LightE  I can't remember the standard number 😞 but a BSI kite marked pen gauge can be obtained for about £5,

It may have to be an equivalent standard and similar cost as LightE probably lives outside the UK with "Living in a fairly warm place (mostly 30c+)" from the opening post but still a good point made.

Fair point, but if you can't be bothered to say where you live in metadata you can't expect $nation specific advice?
