Tire Pressure - Mercedes-Benz Metris Operator's Manual

Too low a tire pressure can lead to the tires
bursting.
Examine the tires for foreign objects.
#
Check whether the tire has a puncture or
#
the valve has a leak.
If you are unable to rectify the damage,
#
contact a quali ed specialist workshop.
You can nd information on recommended tire
pressures for the vehicle's factory-installed tires
on the following labels:
Tire and Loading Information placard on the
R
B‑pillar of your vehicle .
Overview of the tire pressure table
R
( page 205)
/
Observe the maximum tire pressure
( page 210).
/
Use a suitable pressure gauge to check the tire
pressure. The outer appearance of a tire does not
permit any reliable conclusion about the tire pres-
sure.
%
The di erence in pressure of the tires of an
axle may not be higher than 10 kPa (0.1 bar/
1.5 psi).

damage due to insu cient or excessive

tire pressure

Overin ating or underin ating your tires will
shorten their service life.
Check the tire pressure regularly, but at
#
least every 14 days.
V V ehicles wit ehicles with a tir h a tire pr e pressur essure monit e monitor oring sy
you can also check the tire pressure using the on-
board computer.
Only correct tire pressure when the tires are cold.
The tires are cold if the following conditions have
been met:
The vehicle has been parked with the tires out
R
of direct sunlight for at least three hours.
The vehicle has traveled less than 1 mile
R
(1.6 km).
The tire pressure recommended for increased
load/speed in the tire pressure table may a ect
the ride comfort.
& W W ARNING
ARNING Risk of accident due to unsuita-
ble accessories on tire valves
If you mount unsuitable accessories onto tire
valves, the tire valves may be overloaded and
malfunction, which can cause tire pressure
loss.
Only screw standard valve caps or valve
#
caps speci cally approved by Mercedes-
Benz for your vehicle onto the tire valve.
N N o o t t es on tr es on trailer oper
The applicable tire pressure for the tires of the rear
axle is always the recommended tire pressure for a
full load.
Ov Over ervie view of t w of the tir
The tire pressure table shows the recommended
tire pressure for all tires approved at the factory
for this vehicle. The recommended tire pressure
ing syst stem: em: apply for cold tires under various operating condi-
tions, i.e. loading 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 condi-
tion.
If the preceding tire sizes are supplemented by the
+ symbol, the tire pressure information follow-
ing shows alternative tire pressures. Fuel con-
sumption may then increase slightly.
The load conditions "partially laden" and "fully
laden" are de ned in the table for di erent num-
bers of passengers and amounts of luggage. The
actual number of seats may di er.
The tire pressure values given for partly laden vehi-
cles are minimum values which o er you good ride
comfort. They are not for trailer operation.
