theve hicle is
directly related totheve hicle's operation.
Operate theve hicle in an environmentally
re sponsible manner tomake a contribution to
environmen tal pr otection. Todo this, obser ve
th efo llowing recommendations on opera ting
conditions and your personal driving style.
Operating conditions: #
Make sure that the tyre pressures are
alw ays cor rect. #
Do not transport any unnecessa ry
we ight (e.g. a roof rack which is no lon‐
ge rre qu ired). #
Obser vethe service inter vals.
A regularly serviced vehicle will contri b‐

Pe rsonal driving style: #
Do not depress the accelera tor pedal
when starting the engine. #
Do not warm upthe engine while sta‐
tionar y. #
Drive carefully and maintain a su fficient
dis tance to ot hervehicles. #
Avoid frequent, sudden acceleration and
braking. #
Shift gears in good time and use each
ge ar only up to00C3 of its maximum
engine speed. #
Switch off the engine in stationary traf‐
fi c, e.g. use the ECO start/ stop func‐
tion. #
Drive in a fuel-ef ficient manne r.Pay

WARNING Risk of accident due torepea‐

The wheels, valves or tyres could be dam‐
aged.
To o low a tyre pressure can lead tothe tyres

Examine the tyres forfo re ign objects. #
Check whe ther the tyre has a puncture
or theva lve has a leak. #
Ifyo u are unable torectify the damage,
contact a qualified specialist workshop. Information on
there commended tyre pressure
fo rth eve hicle's factor y-fitted tyres can be found
on the tyre pressure table in the fuel filler flap
and in the tyre pressure tables (/ page 251).
Use a suitable pressure gauge tocheck the tyre
pressure. The outer appearance of a tyre does
not permit any reliable conclusion about the tyre
pressure.
Ve hicles with a tyre pressure monitor: you can
also check the tyre pressure using the on-board
computer. 250
Wheels and tyres

Only cor
rect tyre pressures when the tyres are
cold. Conditions for cold tyres are:
R The vehicle has been par ked with the tyres
out of direct sunlight for at least thre e hours.
R The vehicle has tr avelled less than 1.6 km.
Note s on trailer operation
The applicable tyre pressure forth e tyres of the
re ar axle is alw aysth ere commended tyre pres‐
sure for a full load. Overview of
the tyre pressure table Ad
ditionall y,the tyre pressure table may also
st ate tyre pressures for dif fere nt load conditions.
These are de fined in the tyre pressure informa‐
tion table as dif fere nt numbers of passengers
and amounts of luggage. The actual number of
seats may di ffer – for more information, please
re ferto theve hicle's registration documents. The tyre pressure
values given for partly laden
ve hicles are minimum values which of feryou
good ride comfort. They are not for trailer opera‐
tion.
Yo u can also use the tyre pressure values for a
fully laden vehicle. These are alw ays allo wed and
permissible. Ho wever,in a partially laden vehicle,
th eride is not as comfor table and fuel consump‐
tion is only minimally reduced. In addition, wear
is grea ter in the middle of the tyre tread.
Set the cor rect tyre pressu rebefore loading the
ve hicle. Once theve hicle is laden, check the tyre
pressures and cor rect them if necessar y.
Only cor rect tyre pressu res when the tyres are
cold. The tyres are cold under thefo llowing con‐
ditions:
R The vehicle has been par ked with the tyres
out of direct sunlight for at least thre e hours.
R The vehicle has tr avelled less than 1.6 km.
