-Place the air pressure gauge on
the valve .
- The tire pressu res should only be
checked an d adjusted when the
t ires are cold. The slig htly raised
pressures of warm tires must
not be reduced .
- Adjust the tire pressure to the
load you are carrying.
-Reinstall the valve stem cap on
the valve .
When should I check the tire
pressure?
The correct tire pressure is espe-
cially important at high speeds .
The pressure should therefore be
checked at least once a month
and always before starting a jour-
ney.
When should I adjust the tire
pressures?
Adjust the tire pressure to the
load you are carrying . After
changing a wheel
or
replacing
wheels you have to adjust the tire
pressures on all wheels. In addi -
tion, you must then initialize the
new tire pressures in the tire pres-
sure mon itoring system

A
WARNING
I ncorrect tire pressures and/or
underinflation can lead sudden
tire failure, loss of control, col-
lision, serio us personal injury or
even death .
-When the warning symbol
rD]
appears in the instrument
cluster, stop and inspect the
tires.
- Incorrect tire pressure and/or
underinflation
can cause in-
creased tire wear and can af-
fect the handling of the vehi-
cle and stopping ab ility.
- Incorrect tire pressures and/or
underinflation can also lead to
sudden t ire failure, including a
blowout and sudden deflation,
causing loss of vehicle control.
- The driver is responsib le for
the correct tire pressures for
all t ires on the vehicle . The ap -
plicable pressure values are lo-
cated on a sticker on the driv-
er's side B-pillar.
-Only when all tires on the ve-
hicle are filled to the correct
pressure, the tire pressure
monitoring system can work
correct ly .
