Mercedes-Benz Vito 109 CDI/BlueTEC, Руководство по эксплуатации

Страница: 362 / 396

Only screw standard valve caps or valve caps
specifically provided by Mercedes-Benz for
your vehicle onto the tyre valve.

WARNING
If the tyre pressure drops repeatedly, the
wheel, valve or tyre may be damaged. Tyre
pressure that is too low may result in a tyre
blow-out. There is a risk of accident.
R
Check the tyre for foreign objects.
R
Check whether the wheel is losing air or the
valve is leaking.
If you are unable to rectify the damage, con-
tact a qualified specialist workshop.
! The pressure difference between tyres on
any one axle must be no greater than 10 kPa
(0.1 bar/1.5 psi).

Environmental note
Check the tyre pressure regularly, at least
every 14 days.
Example: tyre pressure table on the fuel filler flap
You will find the recommended tyre pressures
for various operating conditions on the inside of
your vehicle's fuel filler flap (
Y
page 173) or
under “Tyre pressure tables” (
Y
page 364).
If tyre sizes are not specified, the tyre pressures
stated on the tyre pressure information table
apply for all tyres approved for this vehicle.
If a tyre size precedes a tyre pressure, the fol-
lowing tyre pressure information is only valid for
that tyre size.

The tyre pressure information table may also
state tyre pressures for different vehicle loads.
These are defined in the tyre pressure informa-
tion table as different numbers of passengers
and amounts of luggage. The actual number of
seats may vary – for more information, please
refer to the vehicle's registration documents.
The tyre pressure values given for partly laden
vehicles are minimum values which offer you
good ride comfort. They are not for towing trail-
ers.
You can also use the tyre pressure values for a
fully laden vehicle. These are always permitted
and admissible. However, in a partially laden
vehicle, the ride is not as comfortable and fuel
consumption is only minimally reduced. In addi-
tion, wear is greater in the middle of the tyre
tread.
For towing trailers, the applicable value for the
rear tyres is the maximum tyre pressure value
stated in the table inside the fuel filler flap.
Use a suitable pressure gauge to check the tyre
pressure. The outer appearance of a tyre does
not permit any reliable conclusion about the tyre
pressure.
On vehicles fitted with the electronic tyre pres-
sure monitor, the tyre pressure can be checked
using the on-board computer.
Set the correct tyre pressure before loading the
vehicle. Once the vehicle is laden, check the tyre
pressures and correct them if necessary.
If possible, only correct tyre pressures when the
tyres are cold.
