tiresmay:
R overheat, leadingtotire defects
R adversely affecthandling
R wear excessively and/orunevenly
R have anadverse effectonfuel consumption
Overinflated tires G
WARNING
Tires withexcessively highpressure can
burst because theyaredamage dmore eas-
ily by road debris, potholes etc.Inaddition,
they alsosuffer fromirregula rwear, which
can severely impairthebraking properties
and thedriving characteristics. Thereisa
risk ofan accident.
Avoid tirepressures thataretoo high inall
the tires, including thespare wheel.
Overinflated tiresmay:
R increase thebraking distance
R adversely affecthandling
R wear excessively and/orunevenly
R have anadverse effectonride comfort
R be more susceptible todamage

R sudden lossoftire pressure, e.g.from afor-
eign object thathaspenetrated thetire
Observe thenotes ontire pressure

Information onair pressure forthe tires on
your vehicle canbefound:
R on the vehicle's TireandLoading Informa-
tion placard onthe B-pillar
R in the tire pressure tableinthe fuel filler flap
(Y page 144)
R in the "Tire pressure" section
Checki ngtire pressures manually To
determine andsetthe correct tirepressure,
proceed asfollows:
X Remove thevalve capofthe tire that isto
be checked.
X Press thetire pressure gaugesecurely onto
the valve.
X Read thetire pressure andcompare itto the
recommended valueonthe Tire andLoading
Information placardorthe tire pressure
table (Ypage 308).
X Ifthe tire pressure istoo low, increase the
tire pressure tothe recommended value.
X Ifthe tire pressure istoo high, release air.
To do so, press downthemetal pininthe
valve, usingthetipofapen forexample.
Then check thetire pressure againusing the
tire pressure checker.
X Screw thevalve caponto thevalve.
X Repea tthese stepsforthe other tires. Tire
