Wheels
Use the tire pressure specified for
a normal vehicle load when the
vehicle is partially loaded ¢
table
on page 213 .
If driving the vehi-
cle when fully loaded, you must
increase the tire pressure to the
maximum specified pressure ¢ .&.-
Checking/correcting tire
pressure
~check the tire pressure at least
once per month and also check it
before every long drive .
~Always check the tire pressure
when the tires are
cold. Do not
reduce the pressure if it increas-
es when the tires are warm.
~check the label¢
fig. 188 for
the correct tire pressure based
on vehicle load.
~correct the tire pressure if nec-
essary .
~store the new tire pressure in
the Infotainment system
¢ page 220.
~check the pressure in the emer-
gency tire*/spare tire*. Always
maintain the maximum temper-
ature that is specified for the
tire.

& WARNING
Always adapt the tire pressure
to your driving style and vehicle
load .
-Overloading can lead to loss of
vehicle control and increase
the risk of an accident. Read
and follow the important safe-
ty precautions in¢
page 214,
Tires and vehicle load limits.
-The tire must flex more if the
tire pressure is too low or if
the vehicle speed or load are
too high . This heats the tire up
too much. This increases the
risk of an accident because it
can cause the tire to burst and
result in loss of vehicle con-
trol.
-Incorrect tire pressure in-
creases tire wear and has a
negative effect on driving and
braking behavior, which in-
creases the risk of an accident.
{tfj) Note
Replace lost valve caps to re-
duce the risk of damage to the
tire valves.
@ For the sake of the environment
Tire pressure that is too low in-
creases fuel consumption.
