The specifications on the sample Tire and

Loading Information placard and tire pres-

sure tables are examples. Tire pressure

specifications are vehicle-specific and may

deviate from the data shown here. The tire

pressure specifications that are valid for

your vehicle can be found on the Tire and

Loading Information placard and tire pres-

sure table on the vehicle.

General notes

The recommended tire pressures for the tires

mounted at the factory can be found on the

labels described here.
Operation with a trailer: the applicable

value for the rear tires is the maximum tire

pressure value stated in the table inside the

fuel filler flap.
Further information on tire pressures can be

obtained at a qualified specialist workshop.

Tire and Loading Information placard

:

Recommended tire pressures

The Tire and Loading Information placard is

on the B-pillar on the driver's side

(

page 316).

The Tire and Loading Information placard con-

tains the recommended tire pressures for

cold tires. The recommended tire pressures

are valid for the maximum permissible load

and up to the maximum permissible vehicle

speed.

Tire pressure table

Example: tire pressure table for all tires permitted

for this vehicle by the factory

The tire pressure table is on the inside of the

fuel filler flap.
The tire pressure table contains the recom-

mended pressures for cold tires for various

operating conditions, i.e. differing load and

speed conditions.
If a tire size precedes a tire pressure, the tire

pressure information following is only valid

for that tire size. The load conditions "partially

laden" and "fully laden" are defined in the

table for different numbers of occupants and

amounts of luggage. The actual number of

seats may differ.
Some tire pressure tables only show the rim

diameter instead of the complete tire size,

e.g. R16. Rim diameter is part of the tire size

and can be found on the tire sidewall

(

Y

page 321).

If the tire pressures have been set to the

lower values for lighter loads and/or lower

road speeds, the pressures should be reset to

the higher values:
