If the tire pressure is not set correctly, this
can leadtoanexcessive build up of heat and
asudden loss of pressure.

Important notes on tire pressure
G
WARNING
If the tire pressure drops repeatedly,the
wheel, valve or tire may be damaged. Tire
pressure that is too low may resultinatire
blow-out. There is arisk of an accident.
R
Check the tire for foreign objects.
R
Check whether the wheelislosing air or the
valve is leaking.
If you are unabletorectify the damage, con-
tact aqualifiedspecialist workshop.
G
WARNING
If you fit unsuitable accessoriesonto 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 resultintire pressure loss. There is a
risk of an accident.
Only screw the standard valve cap or other
valve caps approved by Mercedes-Benz for
yourvehicle onto the tire valve.
Use asuitable pressure gauge to check the
tire pressure. The outer appearance of atire
does not permit any reliable conclusion about
the tire pressure. On vehiclesequippedwith
the electronic 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 depend-
ent on the driving speed and the load.
Therefore,you shouldonly correct tire pres-
sures when the tires are cold.
The tires are cold:
R
if the vehicle has been parked without
direct sunlight on the tires for at least three
hours and
R
if the vehicle has not been driven further
than 1mile (1.6 km)
The tire temperature changes depending on
the outsidetemperature,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 check-
ing 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 result-
ing valuewillbehigherthan if the tires were
cold. This is normal. Do not reduce the tire
pressure to the valuespecified for cold tires.
The tire pressure would otherwisebetoo low.
Observe the recommended tire pressures for
cold tires:
R
on the Tire and Loading Information placard
on the B-pillaronthe driver's side
R
in the tire pressure table on the inside of the
fuel filler flap
Underinflated or overinflated tires
Underinflated tires
G
WARNING
Tires with pressure that is too low can over-
heat and burst as aconsequence. In addition,
they also suffer from excessive and/or irreg-
ularwear, which can severelyimpair the brak-
ing propertiesand the driving characteristics.
There is arisk of an accident.
Avoid tire pressures that are too low in all the
tires, including the spare wheel.
Underinflated tires may:
R
overheat, leading to tire defects
R
adversely affect handling
