Tyre inflation pressure information
On the body pillar
The tyre inflation pressure information is located
on the body pillar of the driver's door.
The tyre pressure applies to all tyre sizes and
recommended tyre makes that have been rated
by the vehicle manufacturer as suitable for the
vehicle type concerned. The list can also include
tyre sizes that are only suitable in combination
with specific equipment.
Information about approved wheels and tyres for
the vehicle can be requested from one of the
manufacturer's Service Partners or another quali‐
fied Service Partner or specialist workshop.
The tyre inflation pressure appropriate for the re‐
spective load conditions should be used. For ex‐
ample, if the vehicle is partially loaded, use the
tyre inflation pressure specified for a partially loa‐
ded vehicle.
For Australia/New Zealand
WARNING
The inflation pressures on the tyre label are ap‐
plicable only for tyres explicitly mentioned on
the label. Inflation pressures for tyres that may
be covered by the label – by size, speed cate‐
gory and load rating/load index – but not explic‐
itly mentioned on the label may be different.
