Tire inflation pressure

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 maintenance of the specified tire pres-
sure.

Checking pressure

Only check tire inflation pressure when the tires
are cold, i.e. after a maximum of 1.25 miles/2 km
driving or when the vehicle has been parked for
at least 2 hours. When tires are warm, the tire
inflation pressure increases.

Check the tire inflation pressure regularly
and correct it if necessary, including com-

pact wheel: at least every two weeks and before
beginning a longer trip. If you fail to observe this
precaution you may be driving on tires with
incorrect tire pressures, a condition that can not
only compromise your vehicle's driving stability,
but also lead to tire damage and the risk of an
accident. Do not drive with a depressurized, i.e.
flat tire. A flat tire will seriously impair your vehi-
cle's handling and braking response. Attempts
to drive on a flat tire can lead to loss of control
over the vehicle.

After correcting the inflation pressure(s),
always reinitialize the Flat Tire Monitor,

refer to page

Inflation pressures for factory-installed
tires

The inflation pressures for your factory-
installed tires can be found on the door jamb
when you open the driver's door.

Inflation pressures for other tire sizes

The table below provides all the correct inflation
pressures for the specified tire sizes at ambient

For correct identification of the right tire
inflation pressure for your tires, observe
