2 - Notification of tire-pressure loss (-3 to -6 psi/from -0.2
to - 0.4 bar)
3 - Flat-tire warning (as of -6 psi/-0.4 bar)
In accordance with physical principles, the air
pressure changes as the temperature changes.
The tire pressure increases or decreases by
around 1.5 psi (0.1 bar) for a temperature change
of 50°F (10°C).Tire pressure specificationsThe tire pressure must match the prescribed value
(required pressure).
You can find information on the tire pressure for
cold tires (68°F/20°C):
– In the TIRE PRESSURE menu (filling informa-
tion):
As a deviation from the required pressure for
each wheel if the system has learned the
values.
– In the TIRE PRESSURE menu (filling informa-
tion):
As a required pressure for each axle if the
system has not learned the values.
– On the tire pressure plate in the front left door
aperture for each wheel.
– In this Owner’s Manual
Please observe the chapter “TIRE PRES-
SURES, COLD” on Page 370.Insufficient tire pressure can cause tires to
overheat and thus be damaged – even invisibly.
Hidden tire damage is not eliminated by subse-
quently correcting the tire pressure.
fPlease observe the chapter “TIRES/WHEELS”
on Page 285.
