WARNING
ARNING Risk of accident due torepea-
te d pressure drop in the tyres
The wheels, valves or tyres could be damaged.
To o low a tyre pressure can lead tothe tyres
bursting. #
Examine the tyres forfo re ign objects. #
Check whe ther the tyre has a puncture
or theva lve has a leak. #
Ifyo u are unable torectify the damage,
contact a quali/ed specialist workshop. Information on
there commended tyre pressure
fo rth eve hicle's factor y-/tted tyres can be found
on the tyre pressure table on the inside of the
soc ket 0ap (/ page 398).
Use a suitable pressure gauge tocheck the tyre
pressure. The outer appearance of a tyre does not
permit any reliable conclusion about the tyre pres-
sure.
Only cor rect tyre pressures when the tyres are
cold. Conditions for cold tyres:
R The vehicle has been par ked with the tyres out
of direct sunlight for at least thre e hours.
R The vehicle has tr avelled less than 1.6 km.
The vehicle's tyres heat up when driving. As the
te mp erature of the tyres increases, so too does
th e tyre pressure.

means of a tyre pressure sensor.
The tyre pressure and the tyre temp erature
appear in the driver's displa y.
If th ere is a substantial pressure loss or if the tyre

ARNI NGRisk of accident with high per-

The special tyre tread in combination with the
optimised tyre compound means that therisk
of skidding and hydroplaning on wetro ads is
increased.
In addition, the tyre grip is greatly reduced at
a low outside temp erature and tyre running
te mp erature. #
Switch on the ESP ®
and adapt your driv-

Furthermore, the use of cer tain tyre types in
cer tain regions and areas of operation can be

R Only use tyres and wheels of the same type
(summer tyres, winter tyres, MOExtended
