    open the driver's door.....any car I've ever owned has a diagram on the pillar showing the pressures for laden and unladen....sometimes also for differing tyres sizes.

    Keen photographer with sales in the UK and abroad.
    Willing to offer advice on camera equipment and photography if i can!

    If you can't find the information on the car using the replies that have already been provided then try this site
    http://www.tyre-shopper.co.uk/tyre-pressure.asp

    Type in your registration details and it should give you pressures that are recommended.

    unfortunately it did not work. although the site recognised both cars, it gave the wrong size tyres for the mercedes. for the toyota although it gave the correct tyre size, the pressure box was empty!!!

    as someone else said have you checked the inside of the fuel filler flap?

    or in the glovebox?

    In my B, the tyre pressures are on a label on the inside of the fuel filler flap.

    thank you guys..i found them on the fuel flap for the mercedes and in the glove box of the toyota. my question now is in both cars there is pressure for when the car is loaded with 5 or 7 passengers and lower pressure for when there are only 2 or 3 passengers...shall i just put the higher pressure? will that give better fuel effeciency even when there is only me in the car?
