Recommended tyre pressure
The tyre pressure label on the driver's side
door pillar (between frame and rear door)
shows which pressures the tyres should have
at different loads and speed conditions.
The decal displays the designation for the fac-
tory-fitted tyres on the car, as well as load lim-
its and tyre pressure.
Improved fuel economy with ECO pressure
For a light load (max. 3 people) and a speed of
up to 160 km/h (100 mph), the ECO pres-
sures can be chosen for good fuel economy.
However, the lower comfort pressures are rec-
ommended instead if improved noise and trav-
elling comfort are desired.

Tyre pressure monitoring system
*
The tyre pressure monitoring system
3
, gives a
warning with an indicator symbol in the driver
display when the pressure in one or more of
the car's tyres is too low.
The symbol illuminates to indicate
low tyre pressure.
If there is a fault in the system the
tyre pressure warning symbol
flashes for approximately one minute and then
remains illuminated.
System description
The tyre pressure monitoring system meas-
ures differences in rotation speed between the
different wheels via the ABS system in order
to be able to determine whether they have the
correct tyre pressure. If the tyre pressure is too
low, the tyre's diameter is changed and, as a
result, so is its rotation speed. By comparing
the tyres with each other the system can
determine whether one or more tyres have
pressure that is too low.
