Vehicle care 157
Unscrew the valve cap. The tyre and loading information label
on the front left centre B-pillar
indicates the original equipment tyres
and the correct cold tyre inflation
pressures.
Additional to that: See tyre pressure
3 185.
The tyre pressure data refers to cold
tyres. It applies to summer and winter
tyres.
The ECO tyre pressure serves to
achieve the smallest amount of fuel
consumption possible.
Incorrect tyre pressures will impair
safety, vehicle handling, comfort and
fuel economy and will increase tyre
wear.
9 Warning
If the pressure is too low, this can
result in considerable tyre warm-
up and internal damage, leading to
tread separation and even to tyre
blow-out at high speeds.
If the tyre pressure shall be reduced
or increased on a vehicle with tyre
pressure monitoring system, switch
off ignition.
Tyre pressure monitoring
system
The tyre pressure monitor system
uses radio and sensor technology to
check tyre pressure levels. The tyre
pressure monitoring system sensors
monitor the air pressure in your
vehicle's tyres and transmit tyre
pressure readings to a receiver
located in the vehicle.
When the low tyre pressure telltale
illuminates, you should stop and
check your tyres as soon as possible,
and inflate them to the proper
pressure. Driving on a significantly
under‐inflated tyre causes the tyre to
overheat and can lead to tyre failure.
Under‐inflation also reduces fuel
efficiency and tyre tread life, and may
affect the vehicle's handling and
stopping ability.
