Some tire pressure tables only show the rim diam-
eter 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 pres-
sure 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. Then check the tire pressure
again using the tire pressure gauge.
#
Screw the valve cap onto the valve.

DANGER Risk of accident due to incorrect
tire pressure
Each tire, including the spare (if provided),
should be checked monthly when cold and
inflated to the inflation pressure recommen-
ded by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehi-
cle placard or tire inflation pressure label. (If
your vehicle has tires of a different size than
the size indicated on the vehicle placard or
tire inflation pressure label, you should deter-
mine the proper tire inflation pressure for
those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has
been equipped with a tire pressure monitoring
system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pres-
sure telltale when one or more of your tires is
significantly under-inflated. Accordingly, when
