Page 318: Checking Tire Inflation Pressure
Checking tire inflation pressure Regularly check your tire inflation pressure at least once a month. Check and adjust the tire inflation pressure when the tires are cold. The tires can be considered cold if the vehicle has been parked for at least three hours or driven less than one mile (1.6 km).
Page 319 Operation Tires and wheels If you have overfilled the tire, release tire inflation pressure by pushing the metal stem of the valve with e.g. a tip of a pen. Then recheck the tire inflation pressure with the tire gauge. Install the valve cap. Repeat this procedure for each tire.
Page 320 The recommended tire inflation pres- sures for your vehicle can be found on the tire placard located on the driver’s door B-pillar ( page 315). The tire in- flation pressures are not listed in the owner’s manual. Warning! The Run Flat Indicator* does not provide a warning for wrongly selected tire inflation pressures.
Page 321 Operation Tires and wheels Warning! The Run Flat Indicator* can only warn you in a reliable manner if you have set the correct tire inflation pressures for each tire. If an incorrect tire inflation pressure was set, the system will monitor the pressure according to the incorrect value.
