Special service requ irements
The prescribed service inter val is based on nor‐
mal operation of theve hicle. Service workwill need
tobe per form ed more of ten if theve hicle
is operated under arduous conditions or
increased loads, forex ample:
RRe gular city driving with frequent intermedi‐
ate stops.
RIf th eve hicle is primarily used totrave l short
dis tances.
RFo r frequent operation in mountainous ter‐
ra in or on poor road sur faces.
RIf th e engine is of ten le ftidling for long peri‐
ods.
RIn particula rly dusty condition sand/o rif air -
re circulation mode is frequently used.
In these or similar operating conditions, ha ve,fo r
ex ample, the interior air filter, engine air filter,
engine oil and oil filter changed more frequent ly.
The tires must be checked more frequently if the
ve hicle is operated under arduous conditions.
Fu rther information can be obtained at a quali‐
fi ed specialist workshop.

Maintenance and care

RThe tires maywearexc essively and/or
une venly, which may greatlyimpair tire
traction.
RThe driving characteristics, as well as
st eering and braking, may be greatly
impaired.
#Comply with there commended tire
pressure and check the tire pressure of
all tires including the spare wheel regu‐
larly:
Rat least once a month
Rwhen the load changes
Rbefore embarking on a longe r journey
Rif operating conditionschange, e.g. off-
ro ad driving
#Ad just the tire pressure as necessar y.
Driving withtire pressure that is too high or too
low can:
RSho rten the service life of the tires.
RCause increased tire damage.
RAd versely af fect handling characteristics and
th us dr iving saf ety, e.g. due to hydroplaning.

WARNING Risk of an accident due to
insuf ficient tire pressure
Ti re s with pressure that is too low can over‐
heat and bur stas a result.
In addition, they also suf fer from excessive
and/or ir regular wear, which can significantly
impair the braking properties and the han‐
dling characteristics.
#Av oid excessively low tire pressures in
all the tires, including the spare wheel.
Tire pressure which is too low can cause:
RTire defects as a result of overheating.
RImpaired handling characteristics
RIrre gular wear
RIncreased fuel consum ption
&
WARNING Risk of accident from exces‐
sive tire pressure
Ti re s with excessively high pressure can
burs t because they are damaged more easily
by highw ayfill, pot holes etc.
In addition, they also suf fer from ir regular
we ar, which can significantly impair the brak‐
ing properties and the handling characteris‐
tics.
#Av oid excessively high tire pressures in
all the tires, including the spare wheel.
Excessively high tire pressure can result in:
RIncreased braking dis tance

The tire pressuretable sho ws there commended
tire pressure for all tires app rove dfo rth is vehi‐

cold tires under various operating conditions, i.e.
loading and/or speed of theve hicle.
If one or more tire sizes precede a tire pressure,
th e tire pressure information following is only

Uniform Tire Quality Grading Standards: a
uniform standard tograde thequ ality of tires
with rega rd totread quality, tire traction and
te mp erature characteristics. The quality grading
assessment is made bythe manufacturer follow‐
ing specifications from theU. S. go vernment. The
qu ality grade of a tire is imprinted on the side
wa ll of the tire.
Re commended tire pressure :th ere commen‐
ded tire pressure is the tire pressure specified
fo rth e tires mounted totheve hicle at thefa c‐
to ry.
The tire and information table conta insthere c‐
ommended tire pressure for cold tires, the maxi‐
mum permissible load and the maximum permis‐
sible vehicle speed.
The tire pressure table conta insthere commen‐
ded tire pressure for cold tires under various
operating conditions, i.e. loading and/or speed
of theve hicle.
Increased vehicle weight due tooptional
equipment: the combined weight of all standard
and optional equipment available forth eve hicle, re
ga rdless of whe ther it is actually ins talled on
th eve hicle or not.
Rim: the part of the wheel on which the tire is
mounted.
GA WR (Gross Axle Weight Rating): the GAWR
is the maximum gross axle load. The actual load
on an axle must ne verexc eed the gross axle
we ight rating. The gross axl e
we ight rati
ng can
be found on theve hicle identification plate on
th e B‑pillar on the driver's side.
Speed rating: the speed rating is pa rtof the tire
identification. It specifies the speed range for
which a tire is appr oved.
GV W (Gross Vehicle Weight): the gross vehicle
we ight comprises thewe ight of theve hicle
including fuel, tools, the spare wheel, accesso‐
ri es ins talled, occupants, luggage and the trailer
dr aw bar nose weight, if applicable. The gross
ve hicle weight must not exceed the gross vehicle
we ight rating GVWR as specified on theve hicle
identification plate on the B‑pillar on the driver's
side.
GV WR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating): the
GV WR is the maximum permitted gross weight of
the fully laden vehicle (weight of theve hicle
including all accessories, occupants, fuel, lug‐
ga ge and the trailer dr awbar nose weight if appli‐
cable). The gross vehicle weight rating is speci‐
fi ed on theve hicle identification plate on the
B‑pillar on the driver's side.
Maximum weight of the laden vehicle: the
maximum weight is the sum of the unladen
we ight of theve hicle, thewe ight of the accesso‐
ri es, the maximum load and thewe ight of
optional equipment ins talled at thefa ctor y.
Kilopascal (kPa): metricunit for tire pressure .
6.9 kPa cor responds to1 psi. Ano ther unit for
tire pressure is bar.100 kilop ascal (kPa
) equals
1 bar.
Load index: in additiontothe load-bearing
index, the load index may also be imprinted on
th e side wall of the tire. This specifies the load-
bearing capacity of the tire more precisel y.
Curb weight: thewe ight of a vehicle with stand‐
ard equipment including the maximum capacity
of fuel, oil and coolant. It also includes the air
