General
information The
tire
characteristics
and
tire
inflation
pressure
influence
the
following:
'xThe
service

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
re#j
sponse.
There
is
a
risk
of
accident.
Regularly
check
the
tire
inflation
pressure,
and
correct
it as
needed,
for
instance
twice
a
month
and
be#j
fore
a
long
trip.
Tire
inflation
pressure
specifications
In
the
tire
inflation
pressure
table The
tire
inflation
pressure
table,
refer
to
page
338,
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
manu#j
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

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
for
the
mounted
tires.
The
current
tire
inflation
pressure
value
is
lo#jcated
on
each
tire.
The
reference
tire
inflation
pressure
value
is
lo#j
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
infla#jtion
pressure.
The
displays
of
inflation
devices
may
under-read by
up
to
0.1

Tire
damage
General
information Inspect
your
tires
regularly
for
damage,
foreign
objects
lodged
in
the
tread,
and
tread
wear.
Driving
over
rough
or
damaged
road
surfaces,
as
well
as
debris,
curbs
and
other
obstacles
can
cause
serious
damage
to
wheels,
tires
and
sus#j
pension
parts.
This
is
more
likely
to
occur
with low-profile
tires,
which
provide
less
cushioning
between
the
wheel
and
the
road.
Be
careful
to
avoid
road
hazards
and
reduce
your
speed,
es#j
pecially
if
your
vehicle
is
equipped
with
low-pro#j file
tires.
Indications
of
tire
damage
or
other
vehicle
mal#j
functions:'xUnusual
vibrations.'xUnusual
tire
or
running
noises.'xUnusual
handling
such
as
a
strong
tendency
to
pull
to
the
left
or
right.
Damage
can
be
caused
by
the
following
situa#j
tions,
for
instance:
'xDriving
over
curbs.'xRoad
damage.'xTire
inflation
pressure
too
low.'xVehicle
overloading.'xIncorrect
tire
storage.
Safety
information
Warning
Damaged
tires
can
lose
tire
inflation
pressure,
which
can
lead
to
loss
of
vehicle
control.
There is
a
risk
of
accident.
If
tire
damage
is
suspected
while
driving,
immediately
reduce
speed
and
stop.
Have
wheels
and
tires
checked.
For
this
purpose,
drive
carefully
to
the
nearest
dealer#ss
service
center
or
another
qualified
service
cen#j
ter
or
repair
shop.
Have
vehicle
towed
or
trans#j ported
as
needed.
Do
not
repair
damaged
tires,
but
have
them
replaced.
