Tire and Loading Information placard

:

Recommended tire pressures

The Tire and Loading Information placard is

on the B-pillar on the driver's side

(

Y

page 260).

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

The tire pressure table is on the inside of the

fuel filler flap.

Example: tire pressure table for all tires permitted

for this vehicle by the factory

The tire pressure table contains the recom-

mended pressures for cold tires for various

operating conditions, i.e. differing load and

speed conditions.

Example: tire pressure table with tire dimensions

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 show only the rim

diameters instead of the full tire size, e.g.

R18. The rim diameter is part of the tire size

and can be found on the tire sidewall

(

Y

page 264).

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:

R

if you want to drive with an increased load

and/or

R

if you want to drive at higher road speeds

i

The tire pressures for increased loads

and/or higher road speeds, shown in the

tire pressure table, may have a negative

effect on driving comfort.
