Mercedes-Benz S-Class, Operator'S Manual

If one or more tire sizes precede a tire pressure,
the following tire pressure information is only
valid for those tire sizes and their respective
load condition.
The load conditions "partially laden" and "fully
laden" are defined in the table for different num‐
bers of passengers and amounts of luggage. The
actual number of seats may differ from this.
Some tire pressure tables only show the rim
diameter instead of the complete tire size, e.g.
R18. The rim diameter is part of the tire size and
can be found on the tire side wall (

Checking the tire pressure manually
#
Read the tire pressure recommended for the
current operating conditions from the Tire
and Loading Information placard or the tire
pressure table. Observe the notes on tire
pressure.
#
Remove the valve cap of the tire to be
checked.
#
Press the tire pressure gauge securely onto
the valve.
#
Read the tire pressure.
#
If the tire pressure is lower than the recom‐
mended value, increase the tire pressure to
the recommended value.
#
If the tire pressure is higher than the recom‐
mended value, release air. To do so, press
down the metal pin in the valve, e.g. using
the tip of a pen, for example. Then check the
tire pressure again using the tire pressure
gauge.
#
Screw the valve cap onto the valve.
