Follow recommended tire inflation pressures

and check the pressure of all the tires includ-

ing the spare wheel:

R

monthly, at least

R

if the load changes

R

before beginning a long journey

R

under different operating conditions, e.g.

off-road driving

If necessary, correct the tire pressure.

Use a suitable pressure gauge to check the

tire pressure. The outer appearance of a tire

does not permit any reliable conclusion about

the tire pressure. On vehicles equipped with

the electronic tire pressure monitor, the tire

pressure can be checked in the on-board

computer.
The recommended tire pressures for the tires

mounted at the factory can be found on the

labels described here.
1.) Tire and Loading Information placard

on the B-pillar on the driver's side of the vehi-

cle (

The Tire and Loading Information placard con-

tains the recommended tire pressures for

cold tires. The recommended tire pressures

are valid for the maximum permissible load

and up to the maximum permissible vehicle

speed.

Option 2) Tire pressure table on the inside of

the fuel filler flap.
The tire pressure table contains the recom-

mended pressures for cold tires for various

operating conditions, i.e. differing load and

speed conditions.

Specifications shown in the examples of

tire pressure tables are for illustration pur-

poses only. Tire pressure specifications are

vehicle-specific and may deviate from the

data shown here. Tire pressure specifica-

tions applicable to your vehicle are located

in your vehicle's tire pressure table.

Example: tire pressure table for all tires permitted

for this vehicle by the factory

If a tire size precedes a tire pressure, the tire

pressure information following is only valid

for that tire size. The load conditions "partially

laden" and "fully laden" are defined in the

table for different numbers of occupants and

amounts of luggage. The actual number of

seats may differ.

Example: tire pressure table with tire dimensions

Some tire pressure tables show only the rim

diameters instead of the full tire size, e.g.

R18. Rim diameter is part of the tire size and

can be found on the tire sidewall
