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 tire inflation pressure

Only check tire inflation pressure when the tires
are cold. This means 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: 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 stability, but also lead to tire damage
and the risk of an accident.

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

refer to page

Pressure specifications for factory-
installed tires

The tire inflation pressures with the ambient
temperature are visible on the door pillar with
the driver's door open.
