i The actual values for tires are vehicle-
specific and may deviat efromt he values in
the illustration. Checking the tire pressures
Important safety notes Observe the notes on tire pressure
(Y
page 338).
Information on air pressure for the tires on
your vehicle can be found:
R on the vehicle's Tire and Loading
Information placard on the B-pillar
(Y page 345)
R on the tire pressure label on the fuel filler
flap (Y page 165)
R in the "Tire pressure" section
R under "Tire pressure" (Y page 338)
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 with
the recommended value on the Tire and
Loading Information placard (Y page 338).
X If the tire pressure is too low, increase it to
the recommended value.
X If the tire pressure is too high, release air
by pressing down the metal pin in the valve.
Use the tip of apen, for example. Then,
check the tire pressure again using the tire
pressure gauge.
X Screw the valve cap onto the valve.
X Repeatt hese steps for the other tires. Tire pressurel
oss warning system
(Canada only)
General notes While the vehicle is in motion, the tire
pressure loss warning system monitors the
set tire pressure using the rotational speed of
the wheels. This enables the system to detect
significant pressure loss in
atire. If the speed
of rotation of awheel changes as aresult of
al oss of pressure, acorresponding warning
message will appearint he multifunction
display.
You can recognizet he tire pressure loss
warning by the Run Flat Indicator Active Press 'OK' to Restart message
which appears in the Serv. menu of the
multifunction display. Further information on
the message displayc an be found under
"Restarting the tire pressure loss warning
system" section (Y page 342).
Important safety notes The tire pressure warning system does not
warn you of an incorrectly set tire pressure.
Observe the notes on the recommended tire
pressure (Y
page 338).
The tire pressure loss warning does not
replace the need to regularly check the tire
pressure. An even loss of pressure on several
tires at the same time cannot be detected by
the tire pressure loss warning system.
The tire pressure monitor is not able to warn
you of asudden loss of pressure, e.g. if the
tire is penetrated by aforeign object.Int he
event of asudden loss of pressure, bring the
vehicle to ahalt by braking carefully. Avoid
abrupt steering maneuvers.
The function of the tire pressure loss warning
system is limited or delayed if:
R snow chains are mounted on your vehicle's
tires.
R road conditionsa re wintry.
R you are driving on sand or gravel. Check
