Vehicle equipment

All standard, country-specific and optional

equipment that is offered in the model series is

described in this chapter. Therefore, equip‐

ment is also described that is not available in a

vehicle, e. g., because of the selected optional

equipment or country variant. This also applies

for safety-related functions and systems.

Tire inflation pressure

Safety information

The tire characteristics and tire inflation pres‐

sure influence the following:

▷ The service life of the tires.

▷ Road safety.

▷ Driving comfort.

Checking the pressure

Tires have a natural, consistent loss of pres‐

sure.

Check the tire inflation pressure regularly

Regularly check the tire inflation pres‐

sure, and correct it as needed: at least twice a

month and before a long trip. If you fail to ob‐

serve this precaution, you may be driving on

tires with incorrect tire pressures, a condition

that may not only compromise your vehicle's

driving stability, but also lead to tire damage

and the risk of an accident.◀

Tires heat up during driving, and the tire infla‐

tion pressure increases along with the temper‐

ature of the tire. The tire inflation pressure

specifications relate to cold tires or tires with

the ambient temperature.

Only check the tire inflation pressure when the

tires are cold. This means after driving no more

than 1.25 miles/2 km or when the vehicle has

been parked for at least 2 hours.

After correcting the tire inflation pressure:

▷ Reinitialize the Flat Tire Monitor.

▷ Reinitialize the Tire Pressure Monitor.

Pressure specifications

The tire inflation pressure table, refer to

page 167, contains all pressure specifications

for the specified tire sizes at the ambient tem‐

perature. Pressure specifications apply to ap‐

proved tire sizes and recommended tire

brands. This information can be obtained from

your service center.

To identify the correct tire inflation pressure,

please note the following:

▷ Tire sizes of your vehicle.

▷ Maximum permitted driving speed.

Tire inflation pressures up to

100 mph/160 km/h

For speeds of up to 100 mph/160 km/h and for

optimum driving comfort, note the pressure

values in the tire inflation pressure table, refer

to page 167, and adjust as necessary.

These pressure values can also be found on

the tire inflation pressure label on the driver's

door pillar.
