Some tire pressure tables show only the rim

diameters instead of the full tire size, e.g. R18.

The rim diameter is part of the tire size and can

be found on the tire sidewall (

Y page 369).

If the tire pressures have been set to the lower

values for lighter loads and/or lower road

speeds, the pressures should be reset to the

higher values:

if you want to drive with an increased load

and/or

if you want to drive at higher road speeds

The tire pressures for increased loads and/or

higher road speeds, shown in the tire pressure

table, may have a negative effect on driving

comfort.

If the tire pressure is not set correctly, this can

lead to an excessive build up of heat and a sud-

den loss of pressure.

For more information, contact a qualified spe-

cialist workshop.

Important notes on tire pressure

WARNING

If the tire pressure drops repeatedly, the

wheel, valve or tire may be damaged. Tire

pressure that is too low may result in a tire

blow-out. There is a risk of an accident.

Check the tire for foreign objects.

Check whether the wheel is losing air or the

valve is leaking.

If you are unable to rectify the damage, con-

tact a qualified specialist workshop.

WARNING

If you fit unsuitable accessories onto tire

valves, the tire valves may be overloaded and

malfunction, which can cause tire pressure

loss. Due to their design, retrofitted tire pres-

sure monitors keep the tire valve open. This

can also result in tire pressure loss. There is a

risk of an accident.

Only screw the standard valve cap or other

valve caps approved by Mercedes-Benz for

your vehicle onto the tire valve.

Use a suitable pressure gauge to check the tire

pressure. The outer appearance of a tire does

not permit any reliable conclusion about the tire

pressure. On vehicles equipped with the elec-

tronic tire pressure monitor, the tire pressure

can be checked in the on-board computer.

The tire temperature and pressure increase

when the vehicle is in motion. This is dependent

on the driving speed and the load.

Therefore, you should only correct tire pres-

sures when the tires are cold.

The tires are cold:

if the vehicle has been parked with the tires

out of direct sunlight for at least three hours

and

if the vehicle has not been driven further than

1 mile (1.6 km)

The tire temperature changes depending on the

outside temperature, the vehicle speed and the

tire load. If the tire temperature changes by

18 ‡ (10 †), the tire pressure changes by

approximately 10 kPa (0.1 bar/1.5

psi)

. Take

this into account when checking the pressure of

warm tires. Only correct the tire pressure if it is

too low for the current operating conditions. If

you check the tire pressure when the tires are

warm, the resulting value will be higher than if

the tires were cold. This is normal. Do not

reduce the tire pressure to the value specified

for cold tires. The tire pressure would otherwise

be too low.

Observe the recommended tire pressures for

cold tires:

on the Tire and Loading Information placard

on the B-pillar on the driver's side

in the tire pressure table in the fuel filler flap

(

Y page 157)

printed in yellow on the rim of the emer-

gency/collapsible spare wheel (depending on

vehicle equipment)

Underinflated or overinflated tires

Underinflated tires

WARNING

Tires with pressure that is too low can over-

heat and burst as a consequence. In addition,

they also suffer from excessive and/or irreg-

ular wear, which can severely impair the brak-

ing properties and the driving characteristics.

There is a risk of an accident.
