- Fig. 1 End face of driver's door: Sticker listing the tyre pressures
The correct inflation pressures for tyres fitted at the factory
and for the compact temporary spare wheel*
are specified on a sticker. The sticker
Fig. 1 is on
the end face of the driver's door.
-A- Tyre size
-B- Tyre pressure for the front wheels
-C- Tyre pressure for the rear wheels
-1- Tyre pressure if vehicle is partially loaded
-2- Tyre pressure (comfort setting)1)
if vehicle is partially loaded
-3- Tyre pressure if vehicle is fully loaded
-4- Tyre pressure for the compact temporary spare wheel*
If you intend to drive the vehicle with a partial load, adjust the
tyre pressures to the specified setting -1-. However, if you prefer
an extra-smooth ride you can select the comfort setting1)
-2-. Should you wish to drive with a full load, you must increase
the tyre pressure to the specified maximum -3-
WARNING!.
Checking / adjusting the tyre pressures
Check the tyre pressures at least once a month and, in addition,
before starting a long journey.
The tyre pressures should only be checked when the tyres are
cold. The slightly raised
pressures of warm tyres must not be reduced.
Refer to the sticker
Fig. 1 for
the correct tyre pressures according to the load the vehicle
is carrying.
If necessary, adjust the tyre pressure.
Vehicles with tyre pressure loss indicator*
:
Store the new tyre pressures by pressing the button or via the
infotainment system*
Link.
Check the pressure of the spare wheel*
/compact
temporary spare wheel*
. Keep the
spare tyre inflated to the highest pressure approved for the
tyre.
Always adjust the tyre pressures to match your driving style and
the load the vehicle is carrying.
- Excessive loads can cause you to lose control of the vehicle – risk of accident!
- Under-inflated tyres flex more and can overheat at high speeds or when the vehicle is carrying a heavy load. This could cause a tyre blow-out and you could lose control of the vehicle – risk of accident!
- Incorrect tyre pressures increase tyre wear and adversely affect vehicle braking and handling – risk of accident!
Caution!
Replace any lost valve caps to prevent damage to the tyre valves.
For the sake of the environment
- Under-inflated tyres will increase the fuel consumption.
- Driving with the tyre pressures adjusted to the comfort setting1) may also result in increased fuel consumption.
Note
We recommend always using the tyre pressure setting -1- for partial
loads and the setting -3- for full loads.
