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
addition, you must then store
the new tire pressures in the
tire pressure monitoring sys-
tem

A
WARNING
Incorrect tire pressures and/
or underinflation can lead
sudden tire failure, loss of
control, collision, serious per-
sonal injury or even death .
-When the warning symbol
II]
appears in the instru-
ment cluster, stop and in-
spect the tires.
-Incorrect tire pressure and/
or underinflation can cause
increased tire wear and can
affect the handling of the
vehicle and stopping ability.
- Incorrect tire pressures
and/or underinflation can
also lead to sudden tire fail-
ure, including a blowout
and sudden deflation, caus-
ing loss of vehicle control.

-The driver is responsible for
the correct tire pressures for
all tires on the vehicle. The
applicable pressure values
are located on a sticker on
the driver's side 8-pillar.
-Only when all tires on the
vehicle are filled to the cor-
rect pressure, the tire pres-
sure monitoring system can
work correctly.
-The use of incorrect tire
pressure values can lead to
accidents or other damage.
Therefore it is essential that
the driver observe the speci-
fied tire pressure values for
the tires and the correct
pressures for the function of
the tire pressure monitoring
system.
-Always inflate tires to the
recommended and correct
tire pressure before driving
off.
-Driving with underinflated
tires bend more, letting
them get too hot resulting
in tread separation, sudden
tire failure and loss of con-
trol.
-Excessive speed and/over-
loading can cause heat
