Information on the recommended tyre pressure
for the vehicle's factory-fitted tyres can be found
on the tyre pressure table on the B-pillar on the
drivers side (
page 649).
/
Use a suitable pressure gauge to check the tyre
pressure. The outer appearance of a tyre does not
permit any reliable conclusion about the tyre pres-
sure.
Only correct tyre pressures when the tyres are
cold. Conditions for cold tyres:
The vehicle has been parked with the tyres out
R
of direct sunlight for at least three hours.
The vehicle has travelled less than 1.6 km.
R
The vehicle's tyres heat up when driving. As the
temperature of the tyres increases, so too does
the tyre pressure.
Vehicles with a tyre pressure monitoring system:
you can also see the tyre pressure in the driver's
display (
page 650).

Notes on trailer operation
Always inflate the rear axle tyres to the recom-
mended tyre pressures on the tyre pressure table
for increased load.
Tyre pressure table
The tyre pressure table is on the B-pillar on the
driver's side.
The tyre pressure table shows the recommended
tyre pressure for all tyres approved for this vehi-
cle. The recommended tyre pressures apply for
cold tyres under various operating conditions, i.e.
loading and/or speed of the vehicle.

If one or more tyre sizes precede a tyre pressure,
the tyre pressure information following is only
valid for those tyre sizes.
If the preceding tyre sizes are complemented by
the + symbol, the tyre pressure information
following shows alternative tyre pressures. These
tyre pressures may improve your vehicle's ride
comfort. Energy consumption may then increase
slightly.
The load conditions "partially laden" and "fully
laden" are defined in the table for different num-
bers of passengers and amounts of luggage. The
actual number of seats may differ from this.

▌Function of the tyre pressure monitoring sys-
tem
The system checks the tyre pressure and the tyre
temperature of the tyres fitted to the vehicle by
means of the tyre pressure sensor.
