Fig. 157 Tire pressure label
The correct tire pressure for tires
installed at the factory is listed on
a label. The label is located on the
B-pillar (driver's side) .png)
fig. 156,
fig. 157.
Use the tire pressure specified for
a normal vehicle load when the
vehicle is partially loaded table.
If driving the vehicle
when fully loaded, you must increase
the tire pressure to the
maximum specified pressure.
Checking and correcting tire pressure
- Check the tire pressure at least once per month and also check it before every long drive.
- Always check the tire pressure when the tires are cold. Do not reduce the pressure if it increases when the tires are warm.
- Refer to the sticker fig.
157
for the correct tire pressure.
- Correct the tire pressure if necessary.
- Save the changed tire pressure.
- Check the pressure in the spare tire (compact spare tire). Always maintain the maximum temperature that is specified for the tire.
WARNING
Always adapt the tire pressure to your driving style and the vehicle load.
- Overloading can lead to loss of vehicle control and increase the risk of an accident. Read and follow the important safety precautions.
- The tire must flex more if the tire pressure is too low or if the vehicle speed or load are too high. This heats the tire up too much. This increases the risk of an accident because it can cause the tire to burst and result in loss of vehicle control.
- Incorrect tire pressure increases tire wear and has a negative effect on driving and braking behavior, which increases the risk of an accident.
Note
Replace lost valve caps to reduce the risk of damage to the tire valves.
For the sake of the environment
Tire pressure that is too low increases fuel consumption.
Tire pressure table
Please note that the information
contained in the following table
was correct at the time of printing,
and the information is subject
to change. If there are any
differences, you should always
follow the tire pressure sticker
fig. 156.
Make sure that the tire designation on your tire matches the designation on the tire pressure label and the tire pressure table.
The following table lists recommended tire pressures in cold tires according to the load and the size of the tires installed.
