Read tyre size : and tyre load-bearing
capacity ; on the tyre.

Determine the approved gross axle weight
of the corresponding axle from the vehicle
identification plate (

Look up the specified tyre pressure in the
table ( Y page 342).

Check and, if necessary, correct the pres-

Correct the tyre pressures for each axle

on the vehicle.
The tyre pressure values are given for a ref-

erence temperature of 20 †.
In the following tyre pressure table, the tyre
R
pressures are listed for the permissible
vehicle weight.
Differing values for the front axle take
R
account of the fact that the front axle is not
normally fully laden. The maximum tyre
pressures on the front axle are only
required if the axle is loaded accordingly.
The figures given are tyre pressure values
for on-road driving. If in doubt, always set
the tyre pressure to the next highest value.
This is provided that the tyre load-bearing
capacity is adequate. In the axle load data
( Y page 356), the higher value (on the
right) for the front axle, in conjunction with
the rear axle load, corresponds to the max-

For off-road driving, the minimum tyre pres-
R
sures must be set in accordance with the
"Tyre pressure reductions for off-road driv-
ing" table ( Y page 352).
