Checking the tire pressures

Important safety notes

Observe the notes on tire pressure  .

Information on air pressure for the tires on your vehicle can be found: • on the vehicle's Tire and Loading Information placard loading information table on the B-pillar  • on the tire pressure label on the fuel filler flap
• in the "Tire pressure" section • under "Tire pressure" 

Checking tire pressures manually

To determine and set the correct tire pressure, proceed as follows: ■ Remove the valve cap of the tire that is to be checked.

■ Press the tire pressure gauge securely onto the valve.

■ Read the tire pressure and compare it with the recommended value on the Tire and Loading Information placard  .

■ If the tire pressure is too low, increase it to the recommended value.

■ If the tire pressure is too high, release air by pressing down the metal pin in the valve.

Use the tip of a pen, for example. Then, check the tire pressure again using the tire pressure gauge.

■ Screw the valve cap onto the valve.

■ Repeat these steps for the other tires.
