Tyre pressure

Although your vehicle has an
integrated tyre pressure monitoring
system, you should check the tyre
pressure of your cold tyres at least
every 14 days and before any long
journey.
Unscrew the valve cap.
The tyre and loading information label
on the front left door frame indicates
the original equipment tyres and the
tyre pressures.
Additional to that: See tyre pressure
3 183.
The tyre pressure data refers to cold
tyres. It applies to summer and winter
tyres.
The ECO tyre pressure serves to
achieve the smallest amount of fuel
consumption possible.
Incorrect tyre pressures will impair
safety, vehicle handling, comfort and
fuel economy and will increase tyre
wear.
9 Warning
If the pressure is too low, this can
result in considerable tyre warm-
up and internal damage, leading to
tread separation and even to tyre
blow-out at high speeds.
If the tyre pressure shall be reduced
or increased on a vehicle with tyre
pressure monitoring system, switch
off ignition.
Tyre pressure monitoring
system
The tyre pressure monitor system
uses radio and sensor technology to
check tyre pressure levels. The tyre
pressure monitoring system sensors
monitor the pressure in your vehicle's
tyres and transmit tyre pressure
readings to a receiver located in the
vehicle.
