tires under various operating conditions, i.e. load-
ing and/or speed of the vehicle.
If one or more tire sizes precede a tire pressure,
the following tire pressure information is only valid
for those tire sizes and their respective load con-
dition.
The load conditions "partially laden" and "fully
laden" are defined in the table for different num-
bers of passengers and amounts of luggage. The
actual number of seats may differ from this.
Some tire pressure tables only show the rim diam-
eter instead of the complete tire size, e.g. R18.
The rim diameter is part of the tire size and can
be found on the tire side wall (
page 390).

Checking the tire pressure manually
Read the tire pressure recommended for the
#
current operating conditions from the tire and
loading information placard or the tire pres-
sure table. Observe the notes on tire pressure.
Remove the valve cap of the tire to be
#
checked.
Press the tire pressure gauge securely onto
#
the valve.
Read the tire pressure.
#
If the tire pressure is lower than the recom-
#
mended value, increase the tire pressure to
the recommended value.
If the tire pressure is higher than the recom-
#
mended value, release air. To do so, press
down the metal pin in the valve, e.g. using the
tip of a pen. Then check the tire pressure
again using the tire pressure gauge.
Screw the valve cap onto the valve.
