Tire pressures

Rcheck the tire for foreign bodies.
Rcheck whether the wheel is losing air or the
valve is leaking.
Rmake sure that only a valve cap approved
by Mercedes-Benz is installed on the tire
valve.
Tire pressures that are too low have a
negative effect on vehicle safety, which could
lead you to cause an accident.
Only correct tire pressures when the tires are
cold. The tires are cold when the vehicle has
been parked for at least three hours or driven
for less than 1 mile (1.6 km). The tire
temperature changes depending on the
outside temperature, 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 checking the pressure
of warm tires and only correct the tire
You will find recommended tire pressure
specifications: for cold tires and for a fully
loaded vehicle on the Tire and Loading
Information placard. The tire pressure
specifications apply to tires which are
installed at the factory.

If the tire pressure drops repeatedly, check
the tires for punctures from foreign objects
and/or whether air is leaking from the valves
or from around the rim.
operating conditions. If you check the tire
pressure when the tires are warm, the reading
will be higher than if the tires were cold. This
is normal. Do not reduce the tire pressure to
the value specified for cold tires. The tire
pressure would otherwise be too low.
The temperature and pressure of the tires
increase when the vehicle is in motion. This
is dependent on the driving speed and the
load.
Observe the recommended tire pressure
specifications for cold tires on the Tire and
Loading Information placard on the B-pillar on If you wish to drive at high speeds of
the driver's side.
100 mph (160 km/h) or higher when this is
allowed, use the tire pressure table on the
inside of the fuel filler flap to set the correct
tire pressures when the wheels are cold. If the
tire pressure is not set correctly, this can lead
to an excessive build up of heat and a sudden
loss of pressure.
For more information, contact a qualified
specialist workshop, e.g. an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center.
i The specifications given on the following
Tire and Loading Information placard are
examples. Tire pressure specifications are
vehicle-specific and may deviate from the
data shown here. The tire pressure
specifications for your vehicle can be found
on the Tire and Loading Information placard
of your vehicle.
i Ride comfort may be affected if the tire
pressure is adjusted to the recommended
value for speeds of over
100
mph(160 km/h).
