What is the normal tire pressure for the Mercedes-Benz V260?
1 Answers
The normal tire pressure range for the Mercedes-Benz V260 is 2.4-2.5 bar. Due to seasonal factors, the tire pressure can be appropriately increased by 0.2 bar in winter and reduced by 0.1 bar in summer. This data is based on the international GBT2978-2008 standard. How to check the tire pressure of the Mercedes-Benz V260: Press the MENU button on the steering wheel to switch to the vehicle information menu. If the overspeed alarm is displayed at this time, rotate the knob at the top of the left lever to access the tire pressure monitoring information, where the tire pressure of all four wheels can be viewed. Generally, a tire pressure exceeding 2.8 bar is considered too high, while a tire pressure below 2.0 bar is considered too low. Hazards of overinflated tires: Reduced tire friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance; causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; accelerates uneven wear of the central tread pattern, shortening tire lifespan; increases vehicle vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; overstretches the tire cords, reducing elasticity and increasing the load on the vehicle during driving. Hazards of underinflated tires: Increases friction coefficient with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; makes the steering wheel heavy and prone to deviation, compromising driving safety; increases movement of tire components, causing abnormal heat due to excessive rolling; weakens the function of cords and rubber, leading to delamination or cord breakage and excessive friction with the rim, damaging the bead area and causing abnormal wear; multiplies friction with the ground, rapidly raising tire temperature, softening the tire, and drastically reducing strength. High-speed driving may result in a tire blowout. If the tire pressure monitoring indicator light comes on (a yellow symbol with an irregular circle, no seal on top, four small spikes at the bottom, and an exclamation mark inside), there are generally three possible causes: Abnormal tire pressure: Usually triggers an alarm when below 1.8 bar or above 3.0 bar. In this case, a tire inspection and pressure adjustment are necessary. Tire pressure monitoring not reset: After inflating the tires, failing to reset the tire pressure promptly causes the system to retain the old data, lighting up the indicator. Simply resetting the tire pressure will resolve this issue. Damaged tire pressure sensor: The sensor, installed inside the tire and connected to the inflation valve, monitors tire pressure. If the sensor is damaged during driving, it will trigger the tire pressure warning light. For sensor damage, the only solution is to replace it with a new one.
