before embarking on a longer journey
R
if operating conditions change, e.g. off-
road driving
#
Adjust the tyre pressure, if necessary.
Tyre pressure which is too high or too low can:
R
Shorten the service life of the tyres.
R
Cause increased tyre damage.
R
Adversely affect driving characteristics and
thus driving safety, e.g. due to aquaplaning.

WARNING Risk of accident due to repea-
ted pressure drop in the tyres
The wheels, valves or tyres could be damaged.
Too low a tyre pressure can lead to the tyres
bursting.
#
Examine the tyres for foreign objects.
#
Check whether the tyre has a puncture
or the valve has a leak.

Information on the recommended tyre pressure
for the vehicle's factory-fitted tyres can be found
on the tyre pressure table on the inside of the fuel
filler flap (

Use a suitable pressure gauge to check the tyre
pressure. The outer appearance of a tyre does not
permit any reliable conclusion about the tyre pres-
sure.
Only correct tyre pressures when the tyres are
cold. Conditions for cold tyres:
R
The vehicle has been parked with the tyres out
of direct sunlight for at least three hours.
R
The vehicle has travelled less than 1.6 km.
The vehicle's tyres heat up when driving. As the
temperature of the tyres increases, so too does
the tyre pressure.
Vehicles with a tyre pressure monitoring system:
you can also see the tyre pressure in the driver's
display (

page 660).
Notes on trailer operation
Always inflate the rear axle tyres to the recom-
mended tyre pressures on the tyre pressure table
for increased load.
