Follow recommended tire inflation pressures
and check the pressure of all the tires includ-
ing the spare wheel:
monthly, at least
R
if the load changes
R
before beginning a long journey
R
under different operating conditions, e.g.
R
off-road driving
If necessary, correct the tire pressure.

WARNING
If you fit unsuitable accessories onto tire
valves, the tire valves may be overloaded and
malfunction, which can cause tire pressure
loss. Due to their design, retrofitted tire pres-
sure monitors keep the tire valve open. This
can also result in tire pressure loss. There is a
risk of an accident.
Only screw the standard valve cap or other
valve caps approved by Mercedes-Benz for
your vehicle onto the tire valve.
!
The pressure difference between tires on
any one axle must be no greater than 10 kPa
(0.1 bar/1.5 psi).

The specifications shown on the sample Tire
and Loading Information placard and tire
pressure table are examples. Tire pressure
data are vehicle-specific and may deviate
from the data illustrated here. The tire pres-
sure specifications that are valid for your vehi-
cle can be found on the Tire and Loading
Information placard and the tire pressure
table on the vehicle.

Environmental note
Check the tire pressure regularly, at least
every 14 days.
General notes
You will find information on tire pressure for the
vehicle's factory-mounted tires on the plates
