Wheels
On tyres with a directional tread pattern, note
the direction of rotation indicated on the sidewall
¢page 275.
Concealed damage
Damage to tyres and rims is often not readily visi­
ble. If you notice unusual vibrations or the car
pulling to one side, this may indicate that one of
the tyres is damaged. Reduce your speed imme­
diately. Inspect the tyres for damage. If no exter­
nal damage is visible, drive slowly and carefully
to the nearest qualified workshop and have the
car inspected.
A
WARNING
Insufficient tread depth or different tread
depths on different wheels reduce safety. This
is particularly evident in vehicle handling,
when there is a risk of aquaplaning in deep
puddles of water and when driving through
corners. Braking is also adversely affected -
risk of accident!

The correct inflation pressures for tyres fitted at
the factory and for the compact temporary spare
wheel* are specified on a sticker. The sticker

is on the end face of the driver's door.

If you intend to drive the vehicle with a partial
load, adjust the tyre pressures to the specified
setting (D . Should you wish to drive with a full
load, you must increase the tyre pressure to the
specified maximum @ ¢ &_ .
Checking/ adjusting the tyre pressures
"'Check the tyre pressures at least once a month
and, in addition, before starting a long journey.
.. The tyre pressures should only be checked
when the tyres are
cold.
The slightly raised
pressures of warm tyres must not be reduced.
.. Refer to the sticker¢
Fig. 222
for the correct
tyre pressures according to the load the vehicle
is carrying.
.. If necessary, adjust the tyre pressure.
.. Vehicles with tyre pressure loss indicator* or
tyre pressure monitoring system*: Store the
new tyre pressures in the infotainment system
¢page 259.
"'Check the pressure of the spare wheel* /com­
pact temporary spare wheel*. Keep the spare
tyre inflated to the highest pressure approved
for the tyre.
A
WARNING
Always adjust the tyre pressures to match
your driving style and the load the vehicle is
carrying.
- Excessive loads can cause you to lose control
of the vehicle - risk of accident!
- Under-inflated tyres flex more and can over­
heat at high speeds or when the vehicle is
carrying a heavy load. This could cause a
tyre blow-out and you could lose control of
the vehicle - risk of accident!
- Incorrect tyre pressures increase tyre wear
and adversely affect vehicle braking and
handling - risk of accident!

CAUTION
Replace any lost valve caps to prevent dam­
age to the tyre valves.
