In addition, they also suffer from irregular
wear, which can significantly impair the brak‐
ing properties and the handling characteris‐
tics.
#
Avoid excessively low tire pressure.
Tire pressure which is too low can cause:

R
Impaired handling characteristics
R
Irregular wear
R
Increased fuel consumption

WARNING Risk of accident due to too
high a tire pressure

WARNING Risk of accident due to repea‐
ted pressure drop in the tires
The wheels, valves or tires could be dam‐
aged.
Too low a tire pressure can lead to the tires
bursting.
#
Examine the tires for foreign objects.
#
Check whether the tire has a puncture
or the valve has a leak.
#
If you are unable to rectify the damage,
contact a qualified specialist workshop.
You can find specifications for the tire pressure
for the vehicle's factory-installed tires on the fol‐
lowing labels:
R
Tire and Loading Information placard on the
B‑pillar of your vehicle (
/
page 312).
R
Tire pressure table on the inside of the fuel
filler flap (
/
page 309).
Observe the maximum tire pressure
(
/
page 319).
Use a suitable pressure gauge to check the tire
pressure. The outer appearance of a tire does
not permit any reliable conclusion about the tire
pressure.
Only correct tire pressure when the tires are
cold. Conditions for cold tires:
R
The vehicle has been parked with the tires
out of direct sunlight for at least three hours.
R
The vehicle has traveled less than 1 mile
(1.6 km).
The vehicle's tires heat up when driving. As the
temperature of the tires increases, so too does
the tire pressure.
