Only to be used for vehicles with light loads. It
is only permissible to use this reduced tire pres‐
sure if it can be guaranteed by weighing the vehi‐
cle that the maximum rear axle load of 7,055 lbs
(3,200 kg) will not be exceeded. In case of doubt,
add 690 kPa (6.9 bar/100 psi).

& DANGER Risk of accident due to incor‐
rect tire pressure
Every tire, including the spare (if provided),
should be checked when cold at least once a
month and inflated to the pressure recom‐
mended by the vehicle manufacturer (see Tire
and Loading Information placard on the B-pil‐
lar on the driver’s side or the tire pressure
label on the inside of the fuel filler flap of your
vehicle). If your vehicle has tires of a different
size than the size indicated on the Tire and
Loading Information placard or the tire pres‐
sure table, you need to determine the proper
tire pressure for those tires.
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has
been equipped with a tire pressure monitor‐
ing system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire
pressure indicator lamp when one or more of
your tires are significantly underinflated.
Accordingly, if the low tire pressure indicator
lamp lights up, you should stop and check
your tires as soon as possible, and inflate
them to the proper pressure. Driving on a sig‐
nificantly underinflated tire causes the tire to
overheat and can lead to tire failure. Underin‐
flation also increases fuel consumption and
reduces tire tread life, and may affect the
vehicle's handling and braking ability. Please
note that the TPMS is not a substitute for
proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver's
responsibility to maintain correct tire pres‐
sure, even if underinflation has not reached
the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS
low tire pressure indicator lamp.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a
TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when
the system is not operating properly. The
TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with
the low tire pressure indicator lamp. When
the system detects a malfunction, the indica‐
tor lamp will flash for approximately a minute
and then remain continuously illuminated.
