This chapter describes all standard, country-spejcific and optional features offered with the series. It also describes features that are not necessarilyavailable in your vehicle, e. g., due to the selectedoptions or country versions. This also applies to
safety-related functions and systems. When usj
ing these functions and systems, the applicable laws and regulations must be observed.
Tire
inflation
pressure
General
information The tire characteristics and tire inflation pressure
influence the following:
'xThe service life of the tires.'xRoad safety.'xDriving comfort.'xFuel consumption.
Safety
information
WARNING
A tire with too little or no tire inflation pressure
may heat up significantly and sustain damage.
This will have a negative impact on aspects of handling, such as steering and braking rej
sponse. There is a risk of an accident. Regularly
check the tire inflation pressure, and correct it as needed, for instance twice a month and bej
fore a long trip.
Tire
inflation
pressure
specifications
In
the
tire
inflation
pressure
table The tire inflation pressure table, refer to
page 300, contains all tire inflation pressure
specifications for the specified tire sizes at the
ambient temperature. The tire inflation pressure
values apply to tire sizes approved by the manuj
facturer of the vehicle for the vehicle type.
To identify the correct tire inflation pressure,
please note the following:'xTire sizes of your vehicle.'xMaximum permitted driving speed.
On
the
Control
Display
The current tire inflation pressure values and the
intended tire inflation pressure values for the
mounted tires can be displayed on the Control Display.
To ensure that they are displayed correctly, the tire sizes must be stored in the system and must have been set, refer to page 314, for the
mounted tires.
The current tire inflation pressure value is loj cated on each tire.
The intended tire inflation pressure value is loj cated in the lower area of the Control Display.
Checking
the
tire
inflation
pressure
General
information
Tires heat up while driving. The tire inflation pressure increases with the tire temperature.
Tires have a natural, consistent loss of tire inflajtion pressure.
The displays of inflation devices may under-read
by up to 0.1 bar/2 psi.

Checking
using

inflation
pressure
specifications
in
the
tire
inflation
pressure
table
The tire inflation pressure specifications in the
tire inflation pressure table only relate to cold
tires or tires at the same temperature as the amj
bient temperature.
Only check the tire inflation pressure levels when
the tires are cold, i.e.:'xDriving range of max. 1.25 miles/2 km has not
been exceeded.'xIf the vehicle has not moved again for at least 2 hours after a trip.
Check the tire inflation pressure of the emerj
gency wheel in the cargo area regularly, and corj rect it as needed.
1.Determine, refer to page 298, the intended
tire inflation pressure levels for the mounted
tires.2.Check the tire inflation pressure in all four
tires, using a pressure gage, for example.3.Correct the tire inflation pressure if the curj
rent tire inflation pressure value deviates from the specified value.4.Check whether all valve caps are screwed
onto the tire valves.

For run-flat tires: reinitialize run-flat tires.
For the Tire Pressure Monitor TPM: in the case of tires that are not included in the tire inflationpressure specifications on the Control Display,reset the Tire Pressure Monitor TPM.

For speeds of up to 100 mph/160 km/h and for
optimum driving comfort, note the pressure valj ues in the tire inflation pressure table, refer topage 300, and adjust as necessary.
These pressure values can also be found on the
tire inflation pressure label on the driver's door
pillar.
Do not exceed a speed of 100 mph/160 km/h.
