continues
to
roll
in
neutral
to
reduce
consumption.
Selector
lever
position

remains
engaged.
This
vehicle
condition
is
called
coasting.
On
vehicles
with
mild
hybrid
technology,
the
enj
gine
does
not
run
at

General
A

condition
and

influence the
following:
'xLifetime
of
the
tyre.'xDriving
safety.'xDriving

consumption.
Safety
note
WARNING
A
tyre
with
too
little
or
no
tyre
inflation
pressure
can
heat
up
significantly
and
sustain
damage.
Handling
characteristics,
for
example
steering
and
braking,
will
be
impaired
as
a
result.
There
is
a
risk
of
accident.
Check
the
tyre
inflation
pressure
regularly
and
adjust
as
necessary,
for
example
twice
a
month
or
before
any
long
jourj
ney.
Tyre
inflation
pressure
information
On
the
door
pillar
The
tyre
inflation
pressure
information
is
shown
on
the
door
pillar
of
the
driver's
door.
The
tyre
inflation
pressure
data
is
valid
for
the
tyre
sizes
and
recommended
tyre
makes
which
have
been
rated
by
the
vehicle
manufacturer
as suitable
for
the
vehicle
concerned.
The
tyre
inflation
pressures
stated
for
the
rej
spective
load
conditions
apply
depending
on
the
vehicle's
actual
load
condition.
Example:
for
a partially
loaded
vehicle,
the
optimum
tyre

is
the
one
stated
for
a
partially
loaded
vehicle.
When
the
vehicle
is
partially
loaded,
the
lowest
possible
fuel
consumption
can
be
achieved
with
the
ECO
tyre
inflation
pressure.
