The tyre pressure
table sho ws there commended
tyre pressure for all tyres appro vedfo rth is vehi‐
cle. The recommended tyre pressures apply for
cold tyres under various operating conditions,
i.e. loading and/or speed of theve hicle.
If one or more tyre sizes precede a tyre pres‐
sure, the tyre pressure information following is
only valid forth ose tyre sizes. If
th e preceding tyre sizes are complemented by
th e+ symbol, the tyre pressure information

These tyre pressures may impr oveyour vehicle's

increase slightl y.
The load conditions "partially laden" and "fully
laden" are defined in theta ble for dif fere nt num‐

The sy stem checks the tyre pressure of the tyres
fi tted totheve hicle bymeans of a tyre pressu re
sensor.
New tyre pressure sensors, e.g. in winter tyres,
are automatically taught-in thefirs t time they are
driven. The tyre pressure appears in
the multifunction
display (→ page247).
If th ere is a subs tantial pressure loss or if the
tyre temp erature is excessive, a warning will be
given:

R Countr y-specific requirements for tyre
appro valth at define a specific tyre type for
yo ur vehicle.
Fu rthermore, the use of cer tain tyre types in
cer tain regions and areas of operation can
be highly beneficial.
R Only use tyres and wheels of the same type
(summer tyres, winter tyres, MOEx tended
tyres) and the same make.
R Only fit wheels of the same size on one axle
(left and right).
It is only permissible tofit a di fferent wheel
size in theeve nt of a flat tyre in order to
drive tothe specialist workshop.
R Only fit tyres of the cor rect size onto the
wheels.
R Do not make any modifications tothe brake
sy stem, the wheels or the tyres.
The use of shims or brake dust shields is not
permitted and may in validate theve hicle's

R For M+S tyres, only use tyres with the same
tread.
R Obser vethe maximum permissible speed for
th e M+S tyres fitted.
If th is is below theve hicle's maximum speed,
