Vehicles with tyre repair kit
Some tools and the towing eye are
located together with the tyre repair
kit in a tool box in the load
compartment below the floor cover.
On version with storage box, remove
box first 3 64.
On versions with rear carrier system
or liquid gas engine, the tools are
located together with the towing eye
and tyre repair kit in a suitcase, fixed
with a strap at the left sidewall in the
load compartment.

174Vehicle care
On version with storage box, the
suitcase with the tools, the towing eye
and the tyre repair kit is located in a
chamber of the box in the load
compartment 3 64.On version with subwoofer box, the
tools and the towing eye are located
together with the tyre repair kit and
the warning triangle in the box below
the floor cover. To gain access,
remove floor cover: fold rear part to
the front and pull out the cover to the
rear 3 66.
Vehicles with spare wheel
The jack, the wheel bolt wrench, the
tools and two straps for securing a
damaged wheel are in the tool box below the load compartment floor
cover 3 66.

Vehicle care175Wheels and tyresTyre condition, wheel condition
Drive over edges slowly and at right
angles if possible. Driving over sharp
edges can cause tyre and wheel
damage. Do not trap tyres on the kerb
when parking.
Regularly check the wheels for
damage. Seek the assistance of a
workshop in the event of damage or
unusual wear.
We recommend not swapping the
front wheels with the rear wheels and vice versa, as this can affect vehicle
stability. Always use less worn tyres
on the rear axle.
Winter tyres Winter tyres improve driving safety attemperatures below 7 °C and shouldtherefore be fitted on all wheels.
In accordance with country-specific
regulations, affix the speed sticker in
the driver's field of view.Tyre designations
E.g. 195/55 R 16 95 H195=tyre width, mm55=cross-section ratio (tyre height
to tyre width), %R=belt type: RadialRF=type: RunFlat16=wheel diameter, inches95=load index e.g. 95 is equivalent
to 690 kgH=speed code letter
Speed code letter:
Q=up to 100 mphS=up to 112 mphT=up to 118 mphH=up to 130 mphV=up to 150 mphW=up to 168 mph
Directional tyres
Directional tyres must be mounted so
that they rotate in the correct
direction. The proper rotation
direction is indicated by a symbol (e.g. an arrow) on the sidewall.
Tyre pressure
Check the pressure of cold tyres at
least every 14 days and before any
long journey. Do not forget the spare
wheel.
This also applies to vehicles with tyre pressure monitoring system.
Unscrew the valve cap.
Tyre pressure 3 214.
The tyre pressure information label
on the right door frame indicates the original equipment tyres and the
correspondent tyre pressures.

176Vehicle care
The tyre pressure data refers to cold
tyres. It applies to summer and winter tyres.
The ECO tyre pressure serves to
achieve the smallest amount of fuel
consumption possible.
Incorrect tyre pressures will impair
safety, vehicle handling, comfort and fuel economy and will increase tyre
wear.
The tyre pressure tables show all
possible tyre combinations 3 214.
Identify the respective tyre. For the tyres approved for your
vehicle, refer to the EEC Certificate of Conformity provided with your vehicle
or other national registration
documents.
The driver is responsible for correct
adjustment of tyre pressure.9 Warning
If the pressure is too low, this can
result in considerable tyre warm-
up and internal damage, leading to tread separation and even to tyre
blow-out at high speeds.
If the tyre pressure must be reduced
or increased, switch off ignition. After
adjusting tyre pressure switch on
ignition and select the relevant setting
on the page Tyre load in the Driver
Information Centre 3 89.
Tyre pressure monitoring
system The tyre pressure monitoring system
checks the pressure of all four tyres
once a minute when vehicle speed
exceeds a certain limit.
Caution
Tyre pressure monitoring system
warns only about low tyre pressure condition and does not replace
regular tyre maintenance by the
driver.
All wheels must be equipped with pressure sensors and the tyres must
have the prescribed pressure.
Notice
In countries where the tyre pressure
monitoring system is legally
required, the use of wheels without
pressure sensors will invalidate the
vehicle type approval.
The current tyre pressures can be
shown in the Vehicle Information
Menu in the Driver Information
Centre.
The menu can be selected by the buttons on the turn signal lever.

Vehicle care177
Press the MENU button to select the
Vehicle Information Menu X.
Turn the adjuster wheel to select the
tyre pressure monitoring system.
System status and pressure warnings
are displayed by a message with the
corresponding tyre flashing in the
Driver Information Centre.
A detected low tyre pressure
condition is indicated by the control
indicator w 3 87.
If w illuminates, stop as soon as
possible and inflate the tyres as
recommended 3 214.
If w flashes for 60-90 seconds and
then illuminates continuously, there is
a fault in the system. Consult a
workshop.
After inflating, driving may be
required to update the tyre pressure
values in the Driver Information
Centre. During this time w may
illuminate.
If w illuminates at lower temperatures
and extinguishes after driving, this
could be an indicator for getting low
pressure. Check tyre pressure.
Vehicle messages 3 96.
If the tyre pressure must be reduced
or increased, switch off ignition.
Only mount wheels with pressure
sensors, otherwise the tyre pressure
will not be displayed and w
illuminates continuously.
A spare wheel or temporary spare
wheel is not equipped with pressure
sensors. The tyre pressure
monitoring system is not operational
for these tyres. Control indicator w
illuminates. For the further three tyres the system remains operational.

178Vehicle care
The use of commercially-availableliquid tyre repair kits can impair the
function of the system. Factory-
approved repair kits can be used.
External high-power radio equipment
could disrupt the tyre pressure
monitoring system.
Each time the tyres are replaced, tyre pressure monitoring system sensors
must be dismounted and serviced.
For the screwed sensor; replace
valve core and sealing ring. For the
clipped sensor; replace complete
valve stem.
Vehicle loading status Adjust tyre pressure to load condition according tyre information label or
tyre pressure chart 3 214, and select
the according setting in the menu Tire
Load in the Driver Information Centre,
Vehicle Information Menu 3 89.
Select:
■ Light for comfort pressure up to
3 people.
■ Eco for Eco pressure up to
3 people.
■ Max for full loading.
TPMS Sensor Matching
Process
Each TPMS sensor has a unique
identification code. The identification
code must be matched to a new tyre/
wheel position after rotating the tyres
or exchanging the complete wheel set
and if one or more TPMS sensors
were replaced. The TPMS sensor
matching process should also be
performed after replacing a spare tyre with a road tyre containing the TPMS
sensor.
The malfunction light and the warning
message or code should go off at the
next ignition cycle. The sensors are
matched to the tyre/wheel positions,
using a TPMS relearn tool, in the
following order: left side front tyre,
right side front tyre, right side rear tyre and left side rear tyre. The turn light
at the current active position is
illuminated until sensor is matched.
Consult your workshop for service or
to purchase a relearn tool. There are
two minutes to match the first tyre/
wheel position, and five minutes
overall to match all four tyre/wheel
positions. If it takes longer, the
matching process stops and must be
restarted.
The TPMS sensor matching process is:
1. Apply the parking brake.
2. Turn the ignition on.
