Setting the axle load indicator
You can adjust the axle load indicator if there is
a notable difference between the axle load indi-
cator and the weighbridge results.
X
Park the vehicle on a level surface.
X Apply the parking brake.
X Switch off the starting-off aid (
Y
page 300).
X
Set the driving level (
Y
page 298).
X
Drive the vehicle onto the single axle weigh-
bridge.
X Using the
u
or
t
button, scroll to
â
operation and maintenance.
The menu window shows the axle loads and
the overall axle load.
X Press the
9
button.
The input window shows the axle loads.
X
Select the desired axle with the
r
or
s
button.
X Using the
u
or
t
button, correct the
axle load according to the value shown by the
single axle load measuring device.

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 once a month
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.
The
Tyres
menu window is available on vehicles
with the tyre pressure monitor system.
The tyre pressure monitor is a convenience sys-
tem that:
R
assists you in checking your tyre pressures
regularly and
R
automatically warns of tyre pressure loss
The tyre pressure monitor can only provide reli-
able warnings if the correct specific pressure for
the tyres has been set in the on-board computer.
The tyre pressure monitor detects an incorrect
value if, for example:
R
your vehicle is overloaded or incorrectly loa-
ded
R
the vehicle is fitted with wheels which have
different tyre sizes and the specified pressure
in the on-board computer has not been cor-
rected
R
an incorrect specified pressure has been set
in the on-board computer
You are always responsible for setting the cor-
rect tyre pressure. Always have the correct
specified pressure set in the on-board computer
at a qualified specialist workshop.
i For every 10 † change in air temperature,
the tyre pressure changes by around 30 to
40 kPa (0.3 to 0.4 bar/4.4 to 5.8 psi). Bear
this temperature-related change in tyre pres-
sure in mind when checking tyre pressures
indoors, where the temperature may be
higher than the outside temperature.
Example:
R
room temperature is approximately 20 †
R
outside temperature is approximately 0 †
R
set the tyre pressure to around 60 to
80 kPa (0.6 to 0.8 bar/8.7 to 11.6 psi)
above that prescribed in the tyre pressure
table
Note also the important safety notes in the
"Tyres and wheels" section (
Y
page 404).
If you are using tyres with a different load
bearing index or tyres of a different size, have
the specified pressure adjusted accordingly
in a qualified specialist workshop.
The tyre pressure monitor system monitors the
tyre pressure of all the tyres of the tractor vehi-
cle both when stationary and when the vehicle is
in motion.
i If your trailer is equipped with a tyre pres-
sure monitor, the trailer tyres are also moni-
