If no other data is stated, the tyre pressures
specified on the fuel filler flap apply for all
tyres approved for this vehicle.
If a tyre size precedes a tyre pressure, the tyre
pressure information following is only valid
for that tyre size.
Instead of the complete tyre size, the rim
diameter alone, for example R16, may be lis-
ted.
Rim diameter : is part of the tyre size and
can be found on the tyre sidewall.

WARNING
Tyre pressure that is either too high or too low
has a negative effect on the vehicle's driving
safety, which could lead you to cause an acci-
dent. Therefore, you should regularly check
the pressure of all the tyres, particularly prior
to long trips, and correct the pressure as nec-
essary.
To test tyre pressure, use a suitable pressure
gauge. The outer appearance of a tyre does
not permit any reliable conclusion about the
tyre pressure. On vehicles fitted with the elec-
tronic tyre pressure monitor, the tyre pres-
sure can be checked using the on-board com-
puter.

WARNING
Do not fit anything else to the tyre valve other
than the standard valve cap. In particular, ret-
rofitted tyre pressure monitors which are
screwed on to the valve may overload it and
cause it to fail. Due to their design, the valve
is kept open continuously, which may lead to
air loss.
G WARNING
Should the tyre pressure drop repeatedly:
R
check the tyre for foreign bodies.
R
check whether the wheel is losing air or the
valve is leaking.
R
make sure that only a valve cap approved
by Mercedes-Benz is fitted on the tyre
valve.
Tyre pressures that are too low have a nega-
tive effect on vehicle safety, which could lead
you to cause an accident.
If possible, only correct tyre pressures when
the tyres are cold. The tyres are cold when
the vehicle has been parked for at least three
hours or has been driven less than 1.5 km.
Depending on the ambient temperature, the
speed you are driving at and the load on the
tyres, the tyre temperature and thus the tyre
pressure may change by approximately
10 kPa (0.1 bar/1.5 psi) per 10 †. Take this
