Mercedes-Benz GL-Class: Checking the tire pressures
Important safety notes
WARNING
Follow recommended tire inflation pressures.
Do not underinflate tires. Underinflated tires
wear excessively and/or unevenly, adversely
affect handling and fuel economy, and are
more likely to fail from being overheated.
Do not overinflate tires. Overinflated tires can
adversely affect handling and ride comfort,
wear unevenly, increase stopping distance,
and result in sudden deflation (blowout)
because they are more likely to become
punctured or damaged by road debris,
potholes etc.
Do not overload the tires by exceeding the
specified load limit as indicated on the Tire
and Loading Information placard on the
driver's door B-pillar. Overloading the tires
can overheat them, possibly causing a
blowout. Overloading the tires can also result
in handling or steering problems, or brake
failure.
Check the tire pressure at least once a month.
Only check and correct tire pressures when the tires are cold.
Checking tire pressure 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 on the
B-pillar on the driver's side of your vehicle.
► If necessary, increase the tire pressure
to
the recommended value.
► If the tire pressure is too high, release
air
by pressing down the metal pin in the valve
using 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.
