The Vito Tourer is designed to be efficient and cost effective, with the aim of helping to reduce operating costs. Mercedes-Benz has implemented new technical developments and fuel economy enhancement measures that makes the Tourer van even more economical, resulting in up to 47.1mpg1.With Mercedes-Benz Tyre Pressure Monitoring System, as standard, individual tyre pressure is checked and warns the driver if there is a dangerous loss of pressure. Additionally the current tyre pressure for all four tyres can be displayed on the instrument cluster, helping to prolong tyre life by maintaining the recommended pressures.Furthermore, the Mercedes-Benz ASSYST service computer intelligently monitors actual engine operating conditions of your Vito allowing up to 24,000 miles between services. With a Service Care contract for your new Vito van, you can plan and budget your running costs whilst complimentary MobiloVan UK Roadside Assistance cover helps to ensure vehicle uptime.

Free Tire Pressure Adjustment While fall brings a welcome shift to cooler weather, it's also the time of year when low-tire-pressure warning lights start lighting up. While tires can lose air pressure due to punctures or other damage, another factor commonly overlooked is a change in seasons. In fact, every time the temperature drops by 10 degrees, your vehicle loses one or two psi!Safety Tip: Don't trust a gas station air pressure pump gauge! They are not accurate enough to use for proper tire pressure adjustments.Please stop by the dealership at your convenience, and one of our factory-trained technicians will be happy to adjust your tire pressure at no charge.Low-tire-pressure warning systems are mandated by the government as part of a passive safety initiative. These systems work off of sensors installed inside the tire valves, sending a signal to the control unit that will trigger a warning light when a decrease in tire pressure is detected. The systems tend to work reliably, but with a sudden change in temperature, they can be overly sensitive at times, triggering the low-tire-pressure warning light.

Storing your vehicle for the season can also reduce tire pressure.Having your tires set to the proper inflation as the seasons change will optimize your safety, fuel efficiency and performance. We encourage our customers to adjust their tire pressures regularly to avoid any potential tire-pressure issues out on the road. Air Freshener In Ac UnitStay safe this autumn with an easy and quick adjustment to your tire pressure.

Sensors damaged due to improper tire mounting or repairs are not covered by new vehicle warranties.

Regardless of size, a tire's handling and durability is directly tied to using the appropriate inflation pressure for the vehicle. With a variety of wheel and tire choices for new vehicles, it's essential to rely on the vehicle manufacturer to specify the appropriate inflation pressure for the tires. Using the vehicle's weight capacity for each axle and other considerations, the manufacturer can best calculate the psi needed to ensure the tire handles and performs well.All too often, many drivers and mechanics assume the maximum tire pressure listed on the tire's sidewall is what is recommended for proper inflation. However, that number represents the maximum pressure that's safely allowed, but is likely higher than what is recommended by the vehicle manufacturer. Tire pressure can vary on several things, including:Changes in temperature Changes in altitude TimeFor best results, look for a placard on the inside of the driver's door or a similar chart in the owner's manual to determine the recommended psi for your application.

Q: Is there any advantage to using nitrogen instead of compressed air in tires? Will I notice improved fuel economy or a smoother ride? Will my tires last longer?From the top: Air is 78 percent nitrogen, just under 21 percent oxygen, and the rest is water vapor, CO2 and small concentrations of noble gases such as neon and argon. We can ignore the other gases.There are several compelling reasons to use pure nitrogen in tires.First is that nitrogen is less likely to migrate through tire rubber than is oxygen, which means that your tire pressures will remain more stable over the long term. Racers figured out pretty quickly that tires filled with nitrogen rather than air also exhibit less pressure change with temperature swings. That means more consistent inflation pressures during a race as the tires heat up. And when you're tweaking a race car's handling with half-psi changes, that's important.Passenger cars can also benefit from the more stable pressures. But there's more: Humidity (water) is a Bad Thing to have inside a tire.

Water, present as a vapor or even as a liquid in a tire, causes more of a pressure change with temperature swings than dry air does. It also promotes corrosion of the steel or aluminum rim.If I ever need to top off a tire when I'm out on the road, I'll always briefly depress the tire chuck's valve with my thumbnail and vent some air. If my thumb gets wet, there's water in the line. Some gas stations don't do a very good job of keeping the humidity out of their air system. I don't even like to use a water-based tire-mounting lubricant unless I can let the tire bake in the sun for a couple of hours before I air it up and seat the bead. I've dismounted tires (not mine) that had several quarts of water inside—probably from a compressed-air hose that collected water and was never purged properly. Your tire pressures will remain more constant, saving you a bit in fuel and tire-maintenance costsHow is water relevant to a nitrogen discussion? Any system that delivers pure nitrogen is also going to deliver dry nitrogen.

Filling tires with nitrogen involves filling and purging several times in succession, serially diluting the concentration of oxygen in the tire. This will also remove any water.It's certainly simple, although time-consuming, for a tire technician to fill and bleed tires. But most shops use a machine that not only generates almost pure nitrogen by straining the oxygen out of shop-compressed air, but will also automatically go through several purge cycles unattended. Some shops have been charging as much as $30 per tire for this service. I think that's too much. If you're buying a new tire, it should be far less. Still, the nitrogen generator, filling system and technician's time aren't free—the dealer is entitled to some return for that.So, to answer your specific questions: With nitrogen, your tire pressures will remain more constant, saving you a small amount in fuel and tire-maintenance costs. There will be less moisture inside your tires, meaning less corrosion on your wheels. You will not be able to feel any difference in the ride or handling or braking, unless your tire pressures were seriously out of spec and changing to nitrogen brought them back to the proper numbers.
