The tyre information label is located on
the driver's side B pillar.
Check the tyres, including the spare, for
condition and pressure on a weekly basis
and before long journeys.
Dependent on market, the tyre pressures
can be displayed in the Message centre
using the Vehicle Info and Tyre Pressure
Check Instrument panel menus. See 49,
INSTRUMENT PANEL MENU. The display
will show 2 tyre pressures for each tyre.
The upper figure is the present tyre
pressure and the lower figure (in brackets)
is the recommended tyre pressure.
Note: The tyre pressure units can be
configured to display as either psi, bar, or
kPa via the Instrument Display menu.
If tyre pressures are checked while the
vehicle is inside a protected covered area
(e.g. a garage) and subsequently driven
in lower outdoor temperatures, tyre
under-inflation could occur.
A slight pressure loss occurs naturally with
time. If this exceeds 14 kPa (0.14bar/2 psi)
per week, have the cause investigated and
rectified by qualified personnel.
If it is necessary to check tyre pressures
when the tyres are warm, you should
expect the pressures to have increased by
up to 30 - 40 kPa (0.3 - 0.4 bar/4 - 6 psi).
Do not reduce the tyre pressures to the
cold inflation pressure under these
circumstances. Allow the tyres to cool fully
before adjusting the pressures.
The following procedure should be used
to check and adjust the tyres pressures:
To avoid damaging the valves do
not apply excessive force or
sideways force on the gauge/
inflator.
To avoid damage to TPMS valves,
it is recommended not to use rigid
tyre inflation wands. This is to avoid
the risk of excess leverage and
sideways pressure on the valve.
1. Remove the valve cap.
2. Firmly attach a tyre pressure gauge/
inflator to the valve.
3. Read the tyre pressure from the gauge
and add air if required.
4. If air is added to the tyre, remove the
gauge and re-attach it before reading
the pressure. Failure to do so may
result in an inaccurate reading.
5. If the tyre pressure is too high, remove
the gauge and allow air out of the tyre
by pressing the centre of the valve.
Refit the gauge to the valve and check
the pressure.
6. Repeat the process, adding or
removing air as required, until the
correct tyre pressure is reached.
