188 Tire s and wheel s
forget the spare tire. If the pressure in any tire
is too high when the tire is "cold," let air out
of the tire slowly with the edge of the tire
ga uge and keep checking the pressure until
you reach the pressure that is correct for the
load (passengers and luggage) and kind of
driving you plan to do.
If the pressure in any tire is too low, note the
d ifference between the pressure in the cold
tire and the pressure you need and add the air
that you need to reach the correct pressure for
the vehicle load (passengers and luggage) for
the tires on your veh icle as listed on the on
your ve hicle and in this manua l and the kind
of dr iving you p lan to do .
Never exc eed th e maximum inflati on pres­
sure listed on th e tir e s idewall for any rea ­
s on.
Remembe r that the vehicle manufacturer, not
the t ire manufactu rer, determ ines the correct
tire pressure for the t ires on your vehicle.
It is important to check the tire pressure when
the t ires a re cold .
- Read the requ ired tire press ure from the tire
pressure label located on driver's side B-pil­
lar .
- Turn the valve stem cap counter-clockwise
to remove it from the tire valve.
- Place the air pressure gauge on the valve.
- The tire pressures sho uld only be checked
and adjusted when the tires are cold. The
slightly raised pressures of warm tires must
not be reduced.
- Adjust the tire pressure to the load you are
carrying.
- Re insta ll the valve stem cap on the valve.
Wh en should I check the tir e pr essure?
The correct tire pressure is espe cially impor ­
tant at high speeds . The pressure should
therefore be checked at least once a month
and a lways before starting a journey.
When should I ad ju st the tire pressures?
Adj ust the t ire p ressu re to the load yo u are
carry ing . After changing a wheel
or replacing whee
ls you have to adjust the tire p ressures
o n all whee ls. In addition, yo u m ust then initi­
alize the new tire press ures in the t ire pres­
s u re monitoring system¢
page 199.
A WARNING
Incorrect tire pressures and/or underinfla­
tion can lead sudden tire fa ilure, loss of
control, collision, serious pe rsonal injury
or even death.
- When the warn ing symbol
RI] appears in
the instrument cluster, stop and inspect
the t ires.
- Incorrect tire pressure and/or underinfla­
tion can cause increased tire wea r and
can affect the handling of the vehicle and
s topping ability.
- I nco rrect tire pressures and/or underin­
f lation can a lso lead to s udden t ire fail­
ure, including a blowout and su dden de­
flation, ca using loss of veh icle cont ro l.
- The drive r is responsible for the co rrec t
tire pressures for all tires on the veh icle .
The applicable pressure values are loca t­
ed on a sticker on the driver's side B -pil­
lar.
- On ly when all tires on the vehicle are fil­
led to the correct pressu re, the tire pres­
sure mon itor ing system can work cor­
rectly.
- The use of incorrect tire pressu re va lues
can lead to acc idents or other damage.
Therefore it is essential that the driver
observe the spec ified t ire pressure values
for the tires and the correct pressures for
the function of the t i re p ress ure monito r­
ing system.
- Always inf late tires to the recommended
and correct t ire pressure before dr iv ing
off.
- Driving with unde rinf lated tires bend
mo re, letting them get too hot resulting
in tre ad separation, sudden tire failure
and loss of cont ro l.
- Excessive speed and/overloading can
cause heat b uild- up, sudden tire failure
and loss of cont ro l.

210 What do I do now?
• Close your grip around the end of the
wrench handle for maximum torque and
turn the wheel bolts
counter-clockwise
about one single turn in the direction of ar­
row
¢ fig. 156.
Tightening
• Fit the wheel bolt wrench over the wheel
bolt and push it down as far as it will go .
• Close your grip around the
end of the
wrench handle for maximum torque and
turn each wheel bolt
clockwise until it sits
t ight.
A WARNING
- Us ing force without control to speed the
wheel change up can cause the veh icle to
slip off the jack and cause serious per­
sonal inju ries.
-Do not loosen the wheel bolts more than
one turn
before you raise the vehicle with
the jack. -Risk of injury!
- Never t ry and use the hexagonal socket
in the handle of the screwdriver to loos­
en or tighten the wheel bolts.
- If a wheel bolt sits very t ight, you may
find i t eas ier to loosen by carefully push­
i ng down on the end of the whee l bolt
wrench with
one foot only. As yo u do,
hold on to the car to keep yourself stable
and take care not to slip .
Raising the vehicle
The vehicle must be lifted with the jack first
before the wheel con be removed .

• Apply the parking brake firmly to prevent
your veh icle from roll ing unintentionally.
• Move the
selector lever to position P .
• Position the jack be low the door sill under
t he
mounting point that is closest to the
wheel to be changed ¢
fig. 157.
• Extend the jack under the lifti ng point on
the door s ill until its arm is positioned di­
rectly under the lifting point ¢,&. .
• Align the jack so that its arm®¢
fig. 158
engages in the designated lifting point in
the door s ill and the movable base ® lies
flat on the ground . The base @ must be
ver­
tical
under the lifting point@.
• Wind the jack up further unti l the flat tire
comes off the ground ¢
.&,.
Position the vehicle jack only under the desig­
nated lifting points on the sill
¢fig . 157.
T he re is exactly one locat ion for eac h wheel.
T he jack must not be positioned at any other
location ¢
.&,¢(D .
An unstable surface under the jack can cause
the vehicle to slip off the jack. Always provide
a firm
base for the jack on the ground. If nec­
essary p lace a sturdy board or simi lar support
under the jack. On
hard, slippery surfaces
(such as tiles) use a rubber mat or similar to
prevent the jack from slipping ¢
.&,.
A WARNING
--You or your passengers cou ld be injured
while changing a wheel if you do not fol­
low safety precautions:
- Position the vehicle jack on ly at the
designated lifting points and align the
jack. Otherwise, the vehicle jack could

slip and cause an injury if it does not
have sufficient hold on the veh icle.
- A soft or unstable surface under the
jack may cause the vehicle to slip off the jack. Always provide a firm base for
the jack on the ground. If necessary, use a sturdy board under the jack .
- On hard, slippery surface (such as tiles)
use a rubber mat or similar to prevent
the jack from slipping .
- To help prevent injury to yourself and
your passengers:
- Do not raise the vehicle u nti l yo u are
sure the jack is sec urely engaged .
- Pa ssenge rs must not remai n in the ve­
h icle when it is jacked up.
- Make sure that passengers wait in a
safe pl ace away from the vehicle and
well away from the roadway and traffic.
- Make sure ja ck position is correc t, ad­
just as necessary and then continue to
ra ise the jack .
