Example: tire pressure table for all tires permitted

for this vehicle by the factory

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.

Example: tire pressure table with tire dimensions

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 471).

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.

Option 3) The tire pressure for the

emergency/collapsible spare wheel

(depending on vehicle equipment) can be

found:

R

printed in yellow on the rim of the

emergency/collapsible spare wheel

R

in the "Wheel and tire combinations"

section (

Y

page 477) in this Operator's

Manual

R

on the Tire and Loading Information placard

on the B-pillar on the driver's side.

If the tire pressure is not set correctly, this

can lead to an excessive build up of heat and

a sudden loss of pressure.
For more information, contact a qualified

specialist workshop.
