I'm running the book pressures.

 

Hehe read my first thread...same thing they had them way up there "for winter" (42/46). You're not in StL are you...same dealer?

But that amount over is insane and negligent...just drop 'em down to 33 to 35 front and 38- 40 rear.

 

No, Gossett in Atl. did it.

 

Similar to mine, but all four were different, vehicle pulled to right. PDI was out of state in Fort Smith AR. Dealer put ~100 personal miles on it, then another 500 to local dealer, I guess no one figured out how to check the tire pressures in the MFD.

Running 33/36 except when pulling heavy trailer then 33/38.

 

Most places are clueless on proper air pressures. It's common for people to think the pressure on the tire sidewall is the pressure the vehicle takes.

 

...and why would you ever think the dealer would waste time on checking the proper pressure on every car they sell or service? That is a waste of time for them. Do you see a cook inspecting every hamburger at McDonallds?

Of course not, speed is the game there.

My wife had to take her XC90 10 times to the dealer with various issues (still on warranty) and half of the time my independent shop mechanic diagnosed and put in writing what was wrong with her car. That's how she got brand new valve body for her tranny and new axle and new PS pump .

The shop I service my cars at will check and inform me about tire pressures every time I have an oil change. I know, I let some air out from one of the tires on purpose and yes they caught it.

They will also take sweet time draining oil and inspect the car in the meantime. If they see something they will let me know. Works for them and works for me.

With my experience, dealer will always try to sell you something you do not really need but they make good money on but hey they have a lot of pressure so you can't blame them. If you are in sales, you'll understand.

Are you guys sure your MFD is showing PSI? because mine is showing BAR. The recommended tire pressure should be printed on the door jam in PSI, but for some reasons my MFD pressure is showing bar, anyone else?

 

You can set up the MFD to what ever units you want, John

 

Scroll through find the Unit settings in the MFD and you'll see the options.

 

I don't think the 2011 has unit settings i'll have to double check

 

It's under Setup>System Settings
