You can also check the tyre pressure using the on-board computer
(/page616).
ONLY CORRECT TYRE PRESSURES WHEN THE TYRES ARE COLD. CONDI‐
TIONS FOR COLD TYRES:
R
The vehicle has been parked with the tyres out of direct sunlight for at
least three hours.
R
The vehicle has travelled less than 1.6 km.
A rise in the tyre temperature by 10 °C increases the tyre pressure by approx.
10kPa (0.1bar/1.5psi). Take this into account when checking the tyre pres‐
sure of warm tyres.
NOTES ON DRIVING ON SAND
When driving on sand, you can lower the tyre pressure (/page267).
Tyre pressure table
The tyre pressure table is on the B-pillar on the driver's side.
The tyre pressure table shows the recommended tyre pressure for all tyres
approved for this vehicle. The recommended tyre pressures apply for cold
tyres under various operating conditions, i.e. load and/or speed of the vehicle.
If one or more tyre sizes precede a tyre pressure, the tyre pressure information
following is only valid for those tyre sizes.
The load conditions "partially laden" and "fully laden" are defined in the table
for different numbers of passengers and amounts of luggage. The actual num‐
ber of seats may differ from this.

Tyre pressure monitoring system
FUNCTION OF THE TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM
The system checks the tyre pressure and the temperature of the tyres fitted to
the vehicle by means of a tyre pressure sensor.
The tyre pressure and the tyre temperature are displayed on the driver display.
In the event of significant pressure loss or excessive temperature of the tyres,
you will be warned by display messages (/page769) or the warning light
h on the driver display (/page784).
The tyre pressure monitoring system serves solely as an aid. It is the driver's
responsibility to set the tyre pressure to the recommended cold tyre pressure
suitable for the operating situation.
In most cases, the tyre pressure monitoring system will automatically update
the new reference values after you have changed the tyre pressure. You can,
however, also update the reference values by restarting the tyre pressure
monitoring system manually (/page617).
