– Move the pin -1- with the grinder of the inspection pin -3- in
such a way that the measurement pin of the inspection pin
-4- rests fully against the inner tread of the tyre.
– Remove the inspection pin and read off the tyre tread depth
(in mm) on the scale -2- (with tyre symbol) of the inspection
pin .
Note
Check the tread depth at several points on the total tyre cir‐
♦
cumference.
The tread depth should be the same on the total tyre circum‐
♦
ference.
If the tread depth on the total tyre circumference significantly
♦
varies, this is probably due to a wheel imbalance. The cus‐
tomer should be informed of the necessary repair measures.
5.7.3 Check the tyre pressure (including
spare wheel) and if necessary correct
pressure, up to MY 2015
Special tools and workshop equipment required
♦ Tyre pressure tester e.g. VAS 5216
Caution
♦ During pre-sales inspection, the tyres on the front and real
axles must be inflated to the "partial load" pressure vale.
♦ On Green Line vehicles, the value "Partial load/Comfort
applies."
The pressure values are also indicated on a sticker, which is
attached to the inside of the fuel filler flap.
The tyre pressure values apply only to the tyres when cold.
Do not reduce the higher tyre pressure of warm tyres.
After each tyre pressure correction the calibration of the "tyre
inspection display"
⇒ "5.11 Tyre pressure monitoring indicator: calibration",
page 139 .
Tyre pressure values in the spare wheel
Caution
The full-size spare tire should have the highest possible tire
pressure, which is intended for the particular vehicle type.
The temporary spare wheel (emergency wheel) must have the
required tire pressure of 420 kPa / 4.2 bar).
must be performed
