250 Tires and wheels
Bear in mind that the tire pressure monitoring
system* can only monitor the tire pressures
you have stored . The system does not recog-
nize the load condit ion of your vehicle.
The effectiveness of the tire pressure monitor -
ing system* will be impaired if you store nor-
mal load pressures but then operate the vehi -
cle at its max imum load

See the illustration c:> fig. 208 for the location
of the label on driver's side B-pillar (color of
the act ua l label and exact location on the ve-

the time of going to press and is subject to
change. In the event of d iscrepancies, the t ire
