Wheels and Tyres
Tyre condition, wheel
condition
Drive over edges slowly and at right
angles if possible. Driving over
sharp edges can cause tyre and
wheel damage. Do not trap tyres on
the kerb when parking.
Regularly check the wheels for
damage. Seek the assistance of a
workshop in the event of damage or
unusual wear.
We recommend not swapping the
front wheels with the rear wheels
and vice versa, as this can affect
vehicle stability. Always use less
worn tyres on the rear axle.
Winter Tyres
Winter tyres improve driving safety
at temperatures below 7 °C and
should therefore be fitted on all
wheels.
In accordance with country-specific
regulations, affix the speed sticker
in the driver's field of view.
Tyre Designations

15 : Wheel diameter, inches
91 : Load index e.g. 91 is equivalent
to 615 kg

Directional tyres
Directional tyres must be mounted
so that they rotate in the correct
direction. The proper rotation
direction is indicated by a symbol
(e.g. an arrow) on the sidewall.
Tyre Pressure
Check the pressure of cold tyres at
least every 14 days and before any
long journey. Do not forget the
spare wheel. This also applies to
vehicles with tyre pressure
monitoring system.
Unscrew the valve cap.
Tyre pressure0Tyre
Pressure 0209.
The tyre pressure information label
on the left door frame indicates the
original equipment tyres and the
correspondent tyre pressures.
Always inflate the spare tyre to the
pressure specified for full load.
The ECO tyre pressure serves to
achieve the lowest fuel consumption
possible.
Incorrect tyre pressures will impair
safety, vehicle handling, comfort and
fuel economy and will increase
tyre wear.
Tyre pressures differ depending on
various options. For the correct tyre
pressure value, follow the procedure
below: 1. Identify the engine identifier code.
0Engine Data 0207.
2. Identify the respective tyre.
The tyre pressure tables show all
possible tyre combinations
0Tyre
Pressure 0209 For the tyres approved for your
vehicle, refer to the EEC Certificate
of Conformity provided with your
vehicle or other national registration
documents.
The driver is responsible for correct
adjustment of tyre pressure.
{Warning
If the pressure is too low, this can
result in considerable tyre
warmup and internal damage,
leading to tread separation and
even to tyre blow-out at high
speeds.
If the tyre pressure must be reduced
or increased on a vehicle with tyre
pressure monitoring system, switch
off ignition.
After adjusting tyre pressure switch
on ignition and select the according
setting on the page Tyre load in the
Driver Information Centre,

Information Centre (DIC) 075.

A temporary spare wheel is not
equipped with pressure sensors.
The tyre pressure monitoring
system is not operational for these
wheels. Control indicator

illuminates. For the further three
wheels the system remains
operational. The use of commercially available
liquid tyre repair kits can impair the
function of the system. Factory
approved repair kits can be used.
External high-power radio
equipment could disrupt the tyre
pressure monitoring system.
Each time the tyres are replaced
tyre pressure monitoring system
sensors must be dismounted and
serviced. For the screwed sensor :
Replace valve core and sealing ring.
For clipped sensor : Replace
complete valve stem.

TPMS Sensor Matching
Process
Each TPMS sensor has a unique
identification code. The identification
code must be matched to a new tyre/ wheel position after rotating the
tyres or exchanging the complete
wheel set and if one or more TPMS
sensors were replaced. The TPMS
sensor matching process should
also be performed after replacing a
spare tyre with a road tyre
containing the TPMS sensor.
The malfunction light and the
warning message or code should go
off at the next ignition cycle. The
sensors are matched to the tyre/
wheel positions, using a TPMS
relearn tool, in the following order :
Left side front tyre, right side front
tyre, right side rear tyre and left side
rear tyre. The turn light at the
current active position is illuminated
until sensor is matched.
Consult your workshop for service
or to purchase a relearn tool. You
have two minutes to match the first
tyre/ wheel position, and
five minutes overall to match all four
tyre/wheel positions. If it takes
longer, the matching process stops
and must be restarted.
The TPMS sensor matching process
is outlined below:
1. Apply the parking brake.
2. Turn the ignition on.
3. Move selector lever to neutral.
4. Use MENUon the indicator
lever to select the Vehicle
Information Men u in the
Driver Information
Centre (DIC).
5. Turn the adjuster wheel to scroll to the tyre
pressure menu.
6. Press SET/CLR to begin the
sensor matching process.
A message requesting
acceptance of the process
should display.
7. Press SET/CLR again to
confirm the selection. The horn
sounds twice to signal the
receiver is in relearn mode.
8. Start with the left side front tyre.
9. Place the relearn tool against the tyre sidewall, near the
valve stem. Then press the
