Mercedes-Benz V 200 4MATIC 2015, Operating Instructions Manual

Page: 332 / 360

You may wish to deactivate ESP
®
when pulling
away with snow chains fitted (
Y
page 67). This
way you can allow the wheels to spin in a con-
trolled manner, generating increased drive (cut-
ting action).
Tyre pressure
Information on tyre pressure
G
WARNING
Underinflated or overinflated tyres pose the
following risks:
R
the tyres may burst, especially as the load
and vehicle speed increase.
R
the tyres may wear excessively and/or
unevenly, which may greatly impair tyre
traction.
R
the driving characteristics, as well as steer-
ing and braking, may be greatly impaired.
There is a risk of an accident.
Observe the recommended tyre pressure and
check the tyre pressure of all the tyres includ-
ing the spare wheel:
R
at least every two weeks
R
when the load changes
R
before embarking on a longer journey
R
for changed operating conditions, e.g. off-
road driving
If necessary, correct the tyre pressure.
G
WARNING
If you fit unsuitable accessories onto tyre
valves, the tyre valves may be overloaded and
malfunction, which can cause tyre pressure
loss. Due to their design, retrofitted tyre pres-
sure monitors keep the tyre valve open. This
can also result in tyre pressure loss. There is a
risk of accident.
Only screw standard valve caps or valve caps
specifically provided by Mercedes-Benz for
your vehicle onto the tyre valve.
G
WARNING
If the tyre pressure drops repeatedly, the
wheel, valve or tyre may be damaged. Tyre
pressure that is too low may result in a tyre
blow-out. There is a risk of accident.
R
Check the tyre for foreign objects.
R
Check whether the wheel is losing air or the
valve is leaking.
If you are unable to rectify the damage, con-
tact a qualified specialist workshop.
! The pressure difference between tyres on
any one axle must be no greater than 10 kPa
(0.1 bar/1.5 psi).
H
Environmental note
Check the tyre pressure regularly, at least
every 14 days.
Example: tyre pressure table on the fuel filler flap
You will find the tyre pressures recommended
for various operating conditions on the inside of
your vehicle's fuel filler flap (
Y
page 175) or
under "Tyre pressure table" (
Y
page 334).
If tyre sizes are not specified, the tyre pressures
stated on the tyre pressure information table
apply for all tyres approved for this vehicle.
If a tyre size precedes a tyre pressure, the fol-
lowing tyre pressure information is only valid for
that tyre size.
