Vehicle care

Wheels and tyres

Tyre 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.

Winter tyres

Winter tyres improve driving safety at

temperatures below 7 °C and should

therefore be fitted on all wheels.
All tyre sizes are permitted as winter

tyres 3 273.
In accordance with country-specific

regulations, affix the speed sticker in

the driver's field of view.

Choose a tyre appropriate for the

maximum speed of your vehicle.
The maximum speed is achievable at

kerb weight with driver (75 kg) plus

125 kg payload. Optional equipment

could reduce the maximum speed of

the vehicle.
Performance 3 269.

Directional tyres

Fit directional tyres such that they roll

in the direction of travel. The rolling

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 3 273.

Vehicle care

237

The tyre pressure information label

on the front left or right door frame

indicates the original equipment tyres

and the correspondent tyre

pressures.
The tyre pressure data refers to cold

tyres. It applies to summer and winter

tyres.
Always inflate the spare tyre to the

pressure specified for full load.
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.
Tyre pressures differ depending on

various options. For the correct tyre

pressure value, follow the procedure

below:

1. Identify the engine identifier code.

Engine data 3 267.

2. Identify the respective tyre.

The tyre pressure tables show all

possible tyre combinations 3 273.

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.

9 Warning

For specific tyres the

recommended tyre pressure as

shown in the tyre pressure table

may exceed the maximum tyre

pressure as indicated on the tyre.

Never exceed the maximum tyre

pressure as indicated on the tyre.

If the tyre pressure must be reduced

or increased on a vehicle with tyre

pressure monitoring system, switch

off ignition. After adjusting tyre

pressure, switch on ignition and

select the appropriate setting on the

page Tyre load in the Driver

Information Centre, 3 117.

Temperature dependency

The tyre pressure depends on the

temperature of the tyre. During

driving, tyre temperature and

pressure increase. Tyre pressure

values provided on the tyre

information label and tyre pressure

chart are valid for cold tyres, which

means at 20 °C.
The pressure increases by nearly

10 kPa for a 10 °C temperature

increase. This must be considered

when warm tyres are checked.
The tyre pressure value displayed in

the Driver Information Centre shows

the real tyre pressure. A cooled down

tyre will show a decreased value,

which does not indicate an air leak.

238

Vehicle care

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.

Note

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 Driver Information

Centre.

Select the menu by the buttons on the

turn signal lever.

Select Tyre pressure page under

Vehicle Information Menu ?3 117.

System status and pressure warnings

are displayed by a message

indicating the corresponding tyre in

the Driver Information Centre.
The system considers the tyre

temperature for the warnings.

A detected low tyre pressure

condition is indicated by control

indicator w 3 115.
If w illuminates, stop as soon as

possible and inflate the tyres as

recommended 3 273.
If w flashes for 60-90 seconds and

then illuminates continuously, there is

a fault in the system. Consult a

workshop.
After inflating, some driving may be

required to update the tyre pressure

values in the Driver Information

Centre. During this time w may

illuminate.

Vehicle care

239

If w illuminates at lower temperatures

and extinguishes after some driving,

this could be an indicator for

approaching a low tyre pressure

condition. Check tyre pressure.
Vehicle messages 3 123.
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 temporary spare wheel is not

equipped with pressure sensors. The

tyre pressure monitoring system is

not operational for these wheels.

Control indicator w illuminates. For

the further three wheels the system

remains operational.
The use of commercially available

liquid tyre repair kits can impair the

function of the system. Factory-

approved repair kits can be used.
Operating electronic devices or being

close to facilities using similar wave

frequencies 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

clipped sensor: replace complete

valve stem.

Vehicle loading status

Adjust tyre pressure to load condition

according to the tyre information label

or tyre pressure chart 3 273, and

select the appropriate setting in the

Tyre load menu in the Driver

Information Centre 3 117. This

setting is the reference for the tyre

pressure warnings.
The Tyre load menu only appears if

the vehicle is at a standstill and the

parking brake is applied. On vehicles

with automatic transmission the

selector lever has to be in P.

Select Tyre load page under Vehicle

Information Menu ? in the Driver

Information Centre 3 117.
Select:

● Light for comfort pressure up to

3 people.

● Eco for Eco pressure up to

3 people.

● Max for full load.

Tyre pressure sensor matching

process

Each tyre pressure sensor has a

unique identification code. The

identification code must be matched

to a new wheel position after rotating

240

Vehicle care

the wheels or exchanging the

complete wheel set and if one or more

tyre pressure sensors were replaced.

The tyre pressure sensor matching

process should also be performed

after replacing a spare wheel with a

road wheel containing the tyre

pressure sensor.
The malfunction light w and the

warning message or code should

extinguish at the next ignition cycle.

The sensors are matched to the

wheel positions, using a relearn tool,

in the following order: left side front

wheel, right side front wheel, right

side rear wheel and left side rear

wheel. The turn signal light at the

current active position is illuminated

until sensor is matched.
Consult your workshop for service.

There are two minutes to match the

first wheel position, and five minutes

overall to match all four wheel

positions. If it takes longer, the

matching process stops and must be

restarted.
The tyre pressure sensor matching

process is:

1. Apply the parking brake.

2. Turn the ignition on.
3. On vehicles with automatic

transmission: set the selector

lever to P.
On vehicles with manual

transmission: select neutral.

4. Press MENU on the turn signal

lever to select the Vehicle

Information Menu ? in the

Driver Information Centre.

5. Turn the adjuster wheel to scroll to

the tyre pressure menu.

6. Press SET/CLR to begin the

sensor matching process. A

message requesting acceptance

of the process should be

displayed.

7. Press SET/CLR again to confirm

the selection. The horn sounds

twice to indicate the receiver is in

relearn mode.

8. Start with the left side front wheel.
9. Place the relearn tool against the

tyre sidewall, near the valve stem.

Then press the button to activate

the tyre pressure sensor. A horn

chirp confirms that the sensor

identification code has been

matched to this wheel position.

10. Proceed to the right side front

wheel, and repeat the procedure

in Step 9.

11. Proceed to the right side rear

wheel, and repeat the procedure

in Step 9.

12. Proceed to the left side rear

wheel, and repeat the procedure

in Step 9. The horn sounds twice

to indicate the sensor

identification code has been

Vehicle care

241

matched to the left side rear tyre,

and the tyre pressure sensor

matching process is no longer

active.

13. Turn off the ignition.
14. Set all four tyres to the

recommended air pressure level

as indicated on the tyre pressure

information label.

15. Ensure the tyre loading status is

set according to the selected

pressure 3 117.

Tread depth

Check tread depth at regular

intervals.
Tyres should be replaced for safety

reasons at a tread depth of 2-3 mm

(4 mm for winter tyres).
For safety reasons, it is

recommended that the tread depth of

the tyres on one axle should not vary

by more than 2 mm.

The legally permissible minimum

tread depth (1.6 mm) has been

reached when the tread has worn

down as far as one of the tread wear

indicators (TWI). Their position is

indicated by markings on the

sidewall.
If there is more wear at the front than

the rear, swap round front wheels and

rear wheels periodically. Ensure that

the direction of rotation of the wheels

remains the same.
Tyres age, even if they are not used.

We recommend tyre replacement

every 6 years.

Changing tyre and wheel

size

If tyres of a different size than those

fitted at the factory are used, it may be

necessary to reprogramme the

speedometer as well as the nominal

tyre pressure and make other vehicle

modifications.
After converting to a different tyre

size, have the label with tyre

pressures replaced.

9 Warning

Use of unsuitable tyres or wheels

may lead to accidents and will

invalidate the vehicle type

approval.

Wheel covers

Wheel covers and tyres that are

factory approved for the respective

vehicle and comply with all of the

relevant wheel and tyre combination

requirements must be used.
If the wheel covers and tyres used are

not factory approved, the tyres must

not have a rim protection ridge.

242

Vehicle care

Wheel covers must not impair brake

cooling.

9 Warning

Use of unsuitable tyres or wheel

covers could lead to sudden

pressure loss and thereby

accidents.

Vehicles with steel wheels: When

using locking wheel nuts, do not

attach wheel covers.

Tyre chains

Tyre chains are only permitted on the

front wheels.
Always use fine mesh chains that add

no more than 10 mm to the tyre tread

and the inboard sides (including chain

lock).

9 Warning

Damage may lead to tyre blowout.

Tyre chains are only permitted on

tyres of size 215/60 R16 and

225/50 R17.
The use of tyre chains is not permitted

on the temporary spare wheel.

Tyre repair kit

Minor damage to the tyre tread can be

repaired with the tyre repair kit.
Do not remove foreign bodies from

the tyres.
Tyre damage exceeding 4 mm or that

is at the tyre's sidewall cannot be

repaired with the tyre repair kit.

9 Warning

Do not drive faster than 80 km/h.
Do not use for a lengthy period.
Steering and handling may be

affected.

If you have a flat tyre:
Apply the parking brake and engage

first gear, reverse gear or P.

The tyre repair kit is on the left side in

the load compartment behind a cover.

1. Take the tyre repair kit from the

compartment.

2. Remove the compressor.

Vehicle care

243

3. Remove the electrical connection

cable and air hose from the

stowage compartments on the

underside of the compressor.

4. Screw the compressor air hose to

the connection on the sealant

bottle.

5. Fit the sealant bottle into the

retainer on the compressor.
Set the compressor near the tyre

in such a way that the sealant

bottle is upright.

6. Unscrew valve cap from defective

tyre.

7. Screw the filler hose to the tyre

valve.

8. The switch on the compressor

must be set to J.

9. Connect the compressor plug to

the power outlet or cigarette

lighter socket.
To avoid discharging the battery,

we recommend running the

engine.

10. Set the rocker switch on the

compressor to I. The tyre is filled

with sealant.

11. The compressor pressure gauge

briefly indicates up to six bar

whilst the sealant bottle is

emptying (approx. 30 seconds).

Then the pressure starts to drop.

12. All of the sealant is pumped into

the tyre. Then the tyre is inflated.

244

Vehicle care

13. The prescribed tyre pressure

should be obtained within ten

minutes. Tyre pressure 3 273.

When the correct pressure is

obtained, switch off the

compressor.

If the prescribed tyre pressure is

not obtained within ten minutes,

remove the tyre repair kit. Move

the vehicle one tyre rotation.

Reattach the tyre repair kit and

continue the filling procedure for

ten minutes. If the prescribed tyre

pressure is still not obtained, the

tyre is too badly damaged. Seek

the assistance of a workshop.

Drain excess tyre pressure with

the button over the pressure

indicator.
Do not run the compressor longer

than ten minutes.

14. Detach the tyre repair kit. Push

catch on bracket to remove

sealant bottle from bracket. Screw

the tyre inflation hose to the free

connection of the sealant bottle.

This prevents sealant from

escaping. Stow tyre repair kit in

load compartment.

15. Remove any excess sealant

using a cloth.

16. Take the label indicating

maximum permitted speed from

the sealant bottle and affix in the

driver's field of view.

17. Continue driving immediately so

that sealant is evenly distributed

in the tyre. After driving approx.

10 km (but no more than ten

minutes), stop and check tyre

pressure. Screw compressor air

hose directly onto tyre valve and

compressor when doing this.

If tyre pressure is more than

1.3 bar, set it to the correct value.

Repeat the procedure until there

is no more loss of pressure.
If the tyre pressure has fallen

below 1.3 bar, the vehicle must

not be used. Seek the assistance

of a workshop.

18. Stow away tyre repair kit in load

compartment.

Vehicle care

245

Note

The driving characteristics of the

repaired tyre are severely affected,

therefore have this tyre replaced.
If unusual noise is heard or the

compressor becomes hot, turn

compressor off for at least

30 minutes.
The built-in safety valve opens at a

pressure of seven bar.
Note the expiry date of the kit. After

this date its sealing capability is no

longer guaranteed. Pay attention to

storage information on sealant

bottle.
