Tyre inflation pressure
information
Vehicle equipment
This chapter describes all standard, country-spe‐
cific and special equipment available for the
model series. It may therefore describe equip‐
ment which is not installed in your vehicle, for ex‐
ample on account of the optional equipment se‐
lected or the country variant. This also applies to
safety-relevant functions and systems. Please
comply with the relevant laws and regulations
when using the corresponding functions and
systems.
On the door pillar
The tyre inflation pressures are shown on the
door pillar of the driver's door.
Tyre inflation pressure
The tyre inflation pressure data is valid for the
tyre sizes and recommended tyre makes which
have been classified by the vehicle manufacturer
as suitable for the vehicle concerned.
General
The tyre inflation pressure and tyre condition in‐
fluence the following:
▷ Lifetime of the tyre.
▷ Driving safety.
If the tyre's speed code cannot be found, then
the tyre inflation pressure for the corresponding
tyre size applies.
▷ Driving comfort.
▷ Driving dynamics.
▷ Fuel consumption.
The tyre inflation pressures stated for the re‐
spective load conditions apply depending on the
vehicle's actual load condition. Example: for a
partially loaded vehicle, the optimum tyre inflation
pressure is the one stated for a partially loaded
vehicle.
Safety note
WARNING
More information regarding wheels and tyres can
be obtained from a Service Partner of the manu‐
facturer or another qualified Service Partner or a
specialist workshop.
A tyre with too little or no tyre inflation pressure
can heat up significantly and sustain damage.
Handling characteristics, for example steering
and braking, will be impaired as a result. There
is a risk of accident. Check the tyre inflation
pressure regularly and adjust as necessary, for
example twice a month or before any long jour‐
ney.

▷ If the vehicle has not moved again for at least
2 hours after a journey.
For Australia/New Zealand
1. Determine the specified tyre inflation pres‐
sures for the tyres when fitted to the vehicle.
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.
Please obtain adequate inflation pressures in
accordance with the tyre manufacturer's speci‐
fications from your tyre dealer.
2. Check the tyre inflation pressure in all four
tyres, using a pressure gauge, for example.
3. Correct the tyre inflation pressure if the cur‐
rent tyre inflation pressure deviates from the
specified tyre inflation pressure.
4. Check whether all valve caps are screwed
onto the tyre valves.
After adjusting the tyre inflation
pressure
For the runflat indicator RPA: reinitialise the run‐
flat indicator RPA.
Checking the tyre inflation
pressure
For the Tyre Pressure Monitor TPM: reset the
Tyre Pressure Monitor TPM.
General
Tyres heat up while driving. The tyre inflation
pressure increases with the temperature of the
tyre.

Wheels and tyres
MOBILITY
Winter tyres
Safety notes
The tyre tread depth should not be less than
4 mm, 0.16 in, otherwise the vehicle's suitability
for winter use is restricted.
WARNING
If the tyres are damaged, the tyre inflation pres‐
sure may be reduced, which in turn could
cause you to lose control of the vehicle. There
is a risk of accident. If you suspect tyre damage
while you are driving, immediately reduce
speed and bring the vehicle to a stop. Have the
wheels and tyres checked. To do so, carefully
drive to a Service Partner of the manufacturer
or another qualified Service Partner or a spe‐
cialist workshop. If necessary, have the vehicle
towed or transported there. Do not repair dam‐
aged tyres. Have them replaced.
Minimum tread depth
Wear displays are distributed across the tyre cir‐
cumference and have the legally prescribed min‐
imum height of 1.6 mm, 0.06 in.
WARNING
Tyres can become damaged by running over
obstacles, for example kerbs or road damage,
at high speed. Larger wheels have a smaller
tyre cross-section. The smaller the tyre cross-
section, the higher the risk of tyre damage.
There is a danger of accidents and damage to
property. If possible, drive around obstacles or
drive over them slowly and carefully.
The positions of the wear indicators are identi‐
fied on the tyre's side wall by TWI, Tread Wear
Indicator.
Tyre damage
General
Inspect tyres regularly for damage, the presence
of foreign bodies and wear.
Age of tyres
Vehicle behaviour that may indicate tyre damage
or other faults:
Recommendation
Irrespective of the tyre tread depth, change tyres
after 6 years at the latest.
▷ Unusual vibrations.
▷ Unusual tyre or running noises.
▷ Unusual vehicle response, such as pro‐
nounced pulling to the left or right.
Date of manufacture
The date of manufacture of the tyre is indicated
on the tyre sidewall.
Damage can be caused by the following situa‐
tions, for example:
▷ Driving over kerbs.

Wheel/tyre combination
General
Information on the correct wheel/tyre combina‐
tion and rim designs for the vehicle can be ob‐
tained from a Service Partner of the manufac‐
turer or another qualified Service Partner or a
specialist workshop.
Certain makes of tyre are recommended by the
manufacturer of the vehicle for each tyre size.
The tyre brands can be identified by a star on the
side wall of the tyre.
Safety notes
New tyres
Due to the manufacturing process, new tyres do
not achieve their full road grip immediately.
WARNING
Wheels and tyres that are not suitable for your
vehicle can damage parts of the vehicle. For ex‐
ample they could come into contact with the
bodywork on account of their dimensional tol‐
erances, despite having the same nominal size.
There is a risk of accident. The manufacturer of
the vehicle recommends using wheels and
tyres that have been categorised as suitable for
the vehicle concerned.
Drive moderately for the first 300 km, 200 miles.
Retreaded tyres
WARNING
Retreaded tyres may have different tyre car‐
casses. Their durability may be reduced with
increasing age. There is a risk of accident. Do
not use retreaded tyres.
WARNING
The vehicle manufacturer advises against the
use of retreaded tyres.
Incorrect wheel/tyre combinations impair the
vehicle's handling characteristics and interfere
with the proper functioning of various systems,
such as the Anti-lock Brake System or Dy‐
namic Stability Control. There is a risk of acci‐
dent. To maintain good vehicle handling, al‐
ways fit tyres of the same make and tread
pattern to all wheels. The manufacturer of the
vehicle recommends using wheels and tyres
that have been categorised as suitable for the
vehicle concerned. After a tyre has been dam‐
Winter tyres
Winter tyres are recommended if driving in winter
conditions.
Although tyres known as all-season tyres with an
M+S label have better winter characteristics than
summer tyres, they do not normally match the
performance of winter tyres.

MOBILITY
Maximum speed of winter tyres
Storing tyres
If the vehicle is capable of maximum speeds
higher than the speed permitted for the winter
tyres, an information label stating the maximum
permitted speed for the tyres fitted must be dis‐
played in the driver's field of view. The label is
available from a Service Partner of the manufac‐
turer or another qualified Service Partner or a
specialist workshop.
Tyre inflation pressure
Do not exceed the maximum tyre inflation pres‐
sure indicated on the tyre's side wall.
Tyre storage
Store wheels and tyres in a cool, dry and dark
place when not in use.
If winter tyres are fitted, observe and do not ex‐
ceed the respectively permitted maximum
speed.
Protect the tyres against contamination from oil,
grease and solvents.
Do not leave tyres in plastic bags.
Remove dirt from the wheels or tyres.
Replacing run-flat tyres
For your own safety, only use run-flat tyres.
There is no spare wheel available in the event of
a breakdown. Additional information is available
from a Service Partner of the manufacturer or an‐
other qualified Service Partner or a specialist
workshop.
Run-flat tyres
Principle
In the event of a complete loss of tyre inflation
pressure, run-flat tyres enable you to continue
driving, with certain restrictions.
Swapping over front and rear
wheels
General
The wheels are fitted with tyres which are self-
supporting to a limited degree. They may also
have special rims.
WARNING
Swapping over of wheels between axles on ve‐
hicles with different tyre sizes or rim dimen‐
sions on the front and rear axles may cause tyre
damage and damage to the vehicle. There is a
risk of accident. Do not swap over wheels be‐
tween axles on vehicles with different tyre sizes
or rim dimensions on the front and rear axles.
The reinforced side wall means that the tyre
keeps the vehicle mobile to a degree even if tyre
inflation pressure has been lost.
Observe the notes on continuing to drive with a
flat tyre.
Different tyre tread wear patterns occur on the
wheels of the front and rear axles, depending on
the individual operating conditions. To achieve
even wear, the tyres can be swapped over in
pairs between the axles. Additional information is
available from a Service Partner of the manufac‐
turer or another qualified Service Partner or a
specialist workshop. After swapping over, check
the tyre inflation pressure and adjust if neces‐
sary.
Safety notes
WARNING
A run-flat tyre which has low tyre inflation pres‐
sure or no tyre inflation pressure at all will
change the vehicle's handling characteristics,
for example there may be reduced directional
stability when braking, longer braking distances
and different self-steering characteristics.

There is a risk of accident. Drive with care and
do not exceed a speed of 80 km/h, 50 mph.
▷ Set up the warning triangle an appropriate
distance away.
Mobility System
WARNING
Continuing to drive with a flat tyre can result in
heavy trailers starting to slalom. There is a dan‐
ger of accidents or damage to property. When
driving with a trailer and a flat tyre, do not ex‐
ceed the speed of 60 km/h, 35 mph. If the
trailer starts to snake, brake immediately and
make the necessary steering corrections as
carefully as possible.
Principle
With the Mobility System, minor tyre damage
can be quickly sealed, to allow you to drive on.
For this purpose, liquid sealant is pumped into
the tyres which encloses the damage from the
inside when it hardens.
General
▷ Please observe the notes on the application
of the Mobility System which are on the com‐
pressor and the sealant container.
Label
▷ Applying the Mobility System can be ineffec‐
tive for tyre damage larger than approximately
4 mm.
▷ Contact a Service Partner of the manufac‐
turer or another qualified Service Partner or a
specialist workshop if you are unable to put
the tyre back in operation.
▷ Foreign bodies that have penetrated the tyre
should remain inside the tyre. Only remove
foreign objects if they are visibly protruding
from the tyre.
The tyres are identified on the tyre's side wall by
RSC Runflat System Component.
▷ Remove the speed limit sticker from the seal‐
ant container and attach to the steering
wheel.
Remedying flat tyres
Safety measures
▷ Park the vehicle on a firm surface and as far
away from moving traffic as possible.
▷ Using sealants can damage the TPM wheel
electronics. In this case, have the TPM wheel
electronics replaced at the next opportunity.
▷ The compressor can be used to check the
