data are vehicle-specific and may deviate
from the data illustrated here. The tire pres-
sure data applicable to your vehicle can be
found on the Tire and Loading Information
placard or tire pressure plate of your vehicle.
H
Environmental note
Check the tire pressure regularly, at least
every 14 days.
General notes
You will find information on tire pressure for the
vehicle's factory-mounted tires on the plates
described here.
The recommended tire pressure can be found
on the Tire and Loading Information placard

or
the tire pressure plate on the B-pillar on the
driver's side of your vehicle.
Further information on tire pressure can be
obtained at a qualified specialist workshop.
Tire and Loading Information placard

Important notes on tire pressure
G
WARNING
If the tire pressure drops repeatedly, the
wheel, valve or tire may be damaged. Tire
pressure that is too low may result in a tire
blow-out. There is a risk of an accident.
R
Check the tire for foreign objects.
R
Check whether the wheel is losing air or the
valve is leaking.
If you are unable to rectify the damage, con-
tact a qualified specialist workshop.
Use a suitable pressure gage to check the tire
pressure. The outer appearance of a tire does
not permit any reliable conclusion about the tire
pressure. On vehicles equipped with the elec-
tronic tire pressure monitor, the tire pressure
can be checked using the on-board computer.
The tire temperature and pressure increase
when the vehicle is in motion. This is dependent
on the driving speed and the load.
Therefore, you should only correct tire pressure
when the tires are cold.
