Practical hints Flat tire If the tire inflation pressure is at least 20 psi (1.3 bar), inflate or deflate the tire to correct tire inflation pressure (see Tire and Loading Information placard on the driver's door B-pillar): To increase tire inflation pressure: Switch on the electric air pump. To decrease tire inflation pressure (version 1): Open vent screw a on pressure gauge b ( page 455). To decrease tire inflation pressure (version 2): Press yellow deflate button a located in air pump housing next to pressure gauge b. Warning! G Warning! G If tire inflation pressure has fallen below 20 psi (1.3 bar) do not continue to drive the vehicle. Park your vehicle safely away from the roadway and contact the nearest authorized Mercedes-Benz Center or Roadside Assistance. Have the damaged tire replaced. Follow recommend inflation pressures. Do not overinflate tires. Overinflating tires can result in sudden deflation (blowout) because they are more likely to become punctured or damaged by road debris, potholes, etc. Do not underinflate tires. Underinflated tires wear unevenly, adversely affect handling and fuel economy, and are more likely to fail from being overheated. Do not overload the tires by exceeding the specified vehicle capacity weight (as indicated by the label on the pillar in the driver's door opening). Overloading the tires can overheat them, possibly causing a blowout. Version 2 a Deflate button b Pressure gauge 457
