Tire pressures
323
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 pressure that is 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
pressure if it is too low for the current
operating conditions. If you check the tire
pressure when the tires are warm, the
resulting value 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.
You will find recommended tire pressure
specifications: for tires in a cold state 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.
Important notes on tire pressures
G Warning
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.
The tire temperature and pressure 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 use the tire pressure table on the inside of the
the driver's side.
If you wish to drive at high speeds of 100 mph
(160 km/h) or higher when this is allowed,
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).
Make sure that the tire pressure for normal
speeds is adopted again.
