Vehicle Equipment
This chapter describes all standard, national and
special equipment provided in the model series.
Therefore equipment not available in a vehicle is
also described, for example the selected special
equipment or national version. That also applies
to safety-relevant functions and systems.
Tyre pressures
Information for your safety
A tyre’s condition and pressure influence the
following:
▷ Operating life of the tyre.
▷ Driving safety.
▷ Driving comfort.
Checking pressures
Checking tyre pressures regularly
Check regularly and adjust as necessary,
but at least twice a month and before any long
journey. Incorrect tyre pressures can adversely
affect the car’s road holding and cause tyre
damage, which could result in an accident.◀
After correcting the tyre pressure:
▷ Re-initialise the runflat indicator
Tyre pressure values
The inflation pressures specified for approved
tyre sizes are located on the door pillar of the
driver's door.
If the speed code letter for the tyre cannot be
located, use the tyre pressure for the corre‐
sponding size, for example 255/50 R 19.
For Australia/New Zealand
Inflation pressures are specified on the tyre label
affixed to the driver’s door post.
Warning
The inflation pressures on the tyre label
are applicable only for tyres explicitly mentioned
on the label. Inflation pressures for tyres that
may be covered by the label – by size, speed
category and load rating/load index – but not ex‐
plicitly mentioned on the label may be different.
Please obtain adequate inflation pressures in
accordance with the tyre manufacturer’s speci‐
fications at your tyre dealer.◀
Tyre sizes
Inflation pressures refer to the approved and
recommended tyre sizes and tyre makes.
Your Service centre will be glad to provide more
