— Always use the tyre pressure specified on
the sticker. Never exc
eed the maximum
tyre pressure which is given on the side-
wall of the tyre
— If the tyre size of the fitted tyres diers
from the specified value on the type
plate or tyre pressure sticker, the correct
tyre pressure must be determined.
Location of the tyre pressure sticker
The sticker provides the correct tyre pres-
sure for approved tyres and is located ei-
ther on the driver door pillar → Fig. 212 or in-
side the tank flap.

Fig. 212 On the driver door: tyre pressure
sticker (alterna
tively on the inside of the tank
flap).
The appearance of the sticker may dier
between vehicles. It may contain additional
tyre sizes that are not approved for your
specific vehicle. For information on the tyre
sizes approved for your vehicle, refer to the
vehicle registration certificate or the EC
Certificate of Conformity (CoC), or ask an
authorised dealer.
WARNING
A tyre pressure that is too low may cause
the tyre to suddenly lose pressure, the
trea
d to separate or the tyre to burst
while the vehicle is in motion. If the tyre
pressure is too low, the tyres will wear
prematurely and the car will not handle
well.
An incorrect tyre pressure can cause seri-
ous accidents and fatal injuries.
·
Check tyre pressures regularly, at least
once a month and before every long
trip.
·
Always adapt the tyre pressure to the
vehicle load level.
·
Never reduce the increased tyre pres-
sure of warm tyres.
WARNING
Driving too fast and overloading the vehi-
cle c
an cause overheating, sudden tyre
damage including tyre bursts, and sepa-
ration of the tread.
This can cause serious accidents and fa-
tal injuries.
·
Never exceed the maximum load ca-
pacity of the fitted tyres → page 379.
