.
Check the tyre pressure on cold tyres. "Cold
tyres" means the tyres are the same temperature
as the ambient temperature. After several few kil-
ometres of driving, the tyres warm up and the
pressure increases.
Inadequate tyre pressure increases fuel con-
sumption, shortens tyre lifespan and impairs the
car's driving characteristics. Driving on tyres with
tyre pressure that is too low could result in the
tyres overheating and being damaged. Tyre pres-
sure affects travelling comfort, road noise and
driving characteristics.
NOTE
Tyre pressure decreases over time, this is a
natural phenomenon. Tyre pressure also var-
ies depending on ambient temperature.
Tyre pressure label
G021830
The tyre pressure label on the driver's side door
pillar (between frame and rear door) shows which
pressures the tyres should have at different loads
and speed conditions. This is also specified in the
tyre pressure table, see Tyres - approved tyre
pressures (p. 443).
Fuel economy, ECO pressure
When carrying a light load (max. 3 people) and at
speeds of up to 160 km/h (100 mph), the ECO
pressure can be selected to give the best possi-
ble fuel economy. If the best possible noise and
travelling comfort conditions are sought, the
lower comfort pressures are recommended
instead.
(See the tyre pressure table in the printed
Owner's Manual.)
