Tire inflation pressure

After correcting the inflation pres-
sure(s), always reinitialize the Flat
Tire Monitor, refer to page 102.<
Information for your safety
It is not merely the tire's service life, but
also driving comfort and – to a great
extent – driving safety that depend on
the condition of the tires and the main-
tenance of the specified tire pressure.
Checking inflation pressure
Only check tire inflation pressure when
the tires are cold. i.e. after driving a
maximum of 1.25 miles/2 km or when
the vehicle has been parked for at least
2 hours. When tires are warm, the tire
inflation pressure increases.
Inflation pressure for original
equipment tires
You will find tire inflation pressures on
the inside door pillar.
Regularly check the tire inflation
pressure and correct as needed,
including the spare tire: at least every
two weeks and before beginning a
longer trip. If this is not done, incorrect
tire pressures can cause driving insta-
bility and tire damage, ultimately result-
ing in an accident. Do not drive with a
depressurized, i.e. flat, tire. A flat tire
greatly impairs steering and braking
response, and can lead to complete
loss of control over the vehicle.<
Inflation pressure for other tire
sizes
The tire pressure table below gives all
of the tire pressure specifications for
the tire sizes indicated, with the ambi-
ent temperature.
In order to clearly identify the cor-
rect tire inflation pressure for your
tires, be sure to note the specifications
for the appropriate tire sizes.<
