Overinflated tires may:
R
increase the braking distance
R
adversely affect handling
R
wear excessively and/or unevenly
R
have an adverse effect on ride comfort
R
be more susceptible to damage
Maximum tire pressures
:
Example: maximum permissible tire pres-
sure
Never exceed the maximum permissible tire
inflation pressure. Always observe the recom-
mended tire pressure for your vehicle when
adjusting the tire pressure (
Y
page 296).

The actual values for tires are vehicle-spe-
cific and may deviate from the values in the
illustration.
Checking the tire pressures
Important safety notes
The tire pressure monitor does not warn you
of:
R
incorrectly set tire pressure
R
sudden loss of tire pressure, e.g. from a for-
eign object that has penetrated the tire
Observe the notes on tire pressure
(
Y
page 296).
Information on air pressure for the tires on
your vehicle can be found:
R
on the vehicle's Tire and Loading Informa-
tion placard on the B-pillar
R
on the tire pressure table in the fuel filler
flap
R
in the "Tire pressure" section
Checking tire pressures manually
To determine and set the correct tire pressure,
proceed as follows:
X
Remove the valve cap of the tire that is to
be checked.
X
Press the tire pressure gauge securely onto
the valve.
X
Read the tire pressure and compare it to the
recommended value on the Tire and Loading
Information placard or the tire pressure
table (
Y
page 296).
X
If the tire pressure is too low, increase the
tire pressure to the recommended value.
X
If the tire pressure is too high, release air.
To do so, press down the metal pin in the
valve, using the tip of a pen for example.
Then check the tire pressure again using the
tire pressure checker.
X
Screw the valve cap onto the valve.
X
Repeat these steps for the other tires.
Tire pressure monitor
General notes
If a tire pressure monitor is installed, the vehi-
cle's wheels have sensors that monitor the tire
pressures in all four tires. The tire pressure
monitor warns you if the pressure drops in one
or more of the tires. The tire pressure monitor
only functions if the corresponding sensors
are installed in all wheels.
Information on tire pressures is displayed in
the multifunction display. After a few minutes
of driving, the current tire pressure of each tire
is shown in the Serv. Serv. menu of the multifunc-
tion display.
Example: current tire pressure display
For information on the message display, refer
to the "Checking the tire pressure electroni-
cally" section (
Y
page 301).
