on the tyre pressure table in the fuel filler flap
and in the tyre pressure tables (
Use a suitable pressure gauge to check the tyre
pressure. The outer appearance of a tyre does
not permit any reliable conclusion about the tyre
pressure.
%
The difference in pressure of the tyres of an
axle may not be higher than 10 kPa (0.1 bar/
1.5 psi).
Vehicles with a tyre pressure monitor: you can
also check the tyre pressure using the on-board
computer.
Only correct tyre pressures when the tyres are
cold. The tyres are cold if the following conditions
have been met:
The vehicle has been parked with the tyres
R
out of direct sunlight for at least three hours.
The vehicle has travelled less than 1.6 km.
R
Notes on trailer operation
The applicable tyre pressure for the tyres of the
rear axle is always the recommended tyre pres‐
sure for a full load.

Additionally, the tyre pressure table may also

These are defined in the tyre pressure informa‐
tion table as different numbers of passengers
and amounts of luggage. The actual number of
seats may differ. For more information, please
refer to the vehicle documents.
The tyre pressure values given for partly laden
vehicles are minimum values which offer you
good ride comfort. They are not for trailer opera‐
tion.
You can also use the tyre pressure values for a
fully laden vehicle. These are always allowed and
permissible. However, in a partially laden vehicle,
the ride is not as comfortable and fuel consump‐
tion is only minimally reduced. In addition, wear
is greater in the middle of the tyre tread.
Set the correct tyre pressure before loading the
vehicle. Once the vehicle is laden, check the tyre
pressures and correct them if necessary.
