What is the normal tire pressure for the Mercedes V260?
1 Answers
The recommended tire pressure range for the Mercedes 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 decreased by 0.1 bar in summer. This data complies with the international GBT2978-2008 standard. The tire pressure monitoring data for the Mercedes V260 is displayed on the central screen of the instrument panel. Generally, the tire pressure monitoring can be operated via the steering wheel buttons. Generally speaking, 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 friction and adhesion of the tires, 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 with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; makes the steering wheel heavy and prone to deviation, compromising driving safety; increases movement of various tire parts, 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 between the tire and the ground, sharply raising tire temperature, softening the tire, and drastically reducing its 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 stamp on top, four small spikes at the bottom, and an exclamation mark inside), it is generally due to one of the following three reasons: Abnormal tire pressure: Usually triggers an alarm when below 1.8 bar or above 3.0 bar. In this case, the tires need to be checked and the pressure adjusted. Tire pressure monitoring not reset: After inflating the tires, the system was not reset in time, causing it to display the previous data, which triggers the indicator light. Simply reset the tire pressure monitoring system. Damaged tire pressure sensor: The tire pressure sensor, installed inside the tire and connected to the inflation valve, monitors tire pressure. If the sensor is damaged during driving (e.g., by hitting a curb), the tire pressure warning light will illuminate. In this case, the only solution is to replace the sensor with a new one.
