Tyre Pressures - Mercedes-Benz G-Class Owner's Manual

Tyre pressures

Risk of accident
If the pressure in a tyre drops repeatedly:
inspect the tyre for foreign objects
check whether air is escaping from the
wheel or the valve
The pressure of warm tyres should only be
corrected if it is too low for the current op-
erating conditions.
You will find a table of tyre pressures for
warm and cold tyres on the inside of the
vehicle's fuel filler flap. If possible, you
should only correct tyre pressures when
the tyres are cold.
i
Tyre pressure values given for low loads
G
are minimum values which offer you
good ride comfort characteristics.
You can, however, also use the values
for higher loads. These are permissible
and will not adversely affect the running
of the vehicle. However, ride comfort
will be impaired to some degree.
Environmental note
Check the tyre pressures regularly, at least
every 14 days.
If the tyre pressures are too low, fuel con-
sumption will increase.

Tyres and wheels
If the vehicle is heavily loaded, check the
tyre pressures and correct them if neces-
sary.
Tyre pressure changes by approximately
0.1 bar for every 10 °C change in ambient
temperature. If you measure the tyre pres-
sure indoors where the temperature differs
from the outside temperature, you will
have to correct the measured value ac-
cordingly.
When the vehicle is driven, the tyre tem-
H
perature, and with it the tyre pressure, will
increase depending on the road speed and
the load on the tyres.
