WARNING
If the tire pressu redrops repeatedly,the

WARNING
If you fitunsui table accessorie sonto tire
valves ,the tire valves maybeoverloa ded
and malfu nction, whichcancause tirepres-
sure loss. Duetotheir desig n,retrofitted tire
pressu remonitors keepthetire valve open.
This canalso resul tin tire pressu reloss.
There isarisk ofan accident.
Only screw thestandard valvecaporother
valve capsappro vedbyMercedes-Benz for
you rvehicle ontothetire valve.
Use asuita blepressu regau getocheck the
tire pressu re.The outer appearance ofatire
does notpermit anyrelia bleconclusion about
the tire pressu re.On vehicle sequi pped with
the electronic tirepressu remonitor, thetire pressu
recan bechecked inthe on-board com-
puter.
The tiretemperature andpressu reincrease
when thevehicle isin motion. Thisisdepend-
ent onthe driving speedandtheload .
Therefore, youshoul donly correct tirepres-
sures whenthetires arecold.
The tires arecold:
R ifthe vehicle hasbeen parked withthetires
out ofdirect sunlightfor atlea stthree hours
and
R ifthe vehicle hasbeen driven lessthan
1 mile (1.6km)
The tiretemperature changesdependingon
the outsid etemperature ,the vehicle speed
and thetire load .If the tire temperature
changes by18 ‡(10 †), thetire pressu re
changes byappro ximately 10kPa (0.1 bar/
1.5 psi).Take thisinto account whenchecking
the pressu reofwarm tires.Onlycorrect the
tire pressu reifit is too low forthe current
opera tingconditions. Ifyou check thetire
pressu rewhen thetires arewarm, theresul t-
ing valu ewil lbe highe rthan ifthe tires were
cold. Thisisnormal. Donot reduce thetire
pressu reto the valu especifie dfor cold tires.
The tirepressu rewou ldotherwise betoo low.
