Operation

Tires and wheels

Reactivating the Run Flat Indicator*

The tire inflation pressure monitor must be
reactivated in the following situations:

ț

If you have changed the tire inflation
pressure

ț

If you have replaced the wheels or tires

ț

If you have installed new wheels or
tires

̈

Using the tire placard on the driver’s
door B-pillar or, if available, the inside
of the fuel filler flap, make sure the tire
inflation pressure of all four tires is cor-
rect.

i

The recommended tire inflation pres-
sures for your vehicle can be found on
the tire placard located on the driver’s
door B-pillar (

page 314). The tire in-

flation pressures are not listed in the
owner’s manual.

Warning!

G

The Run Flat Indicator* does not provide a

warning for wrongly selected tire inflation

pressures. Always adjust tire inflation pres-

sure according to the placard on the driver’s

door B-pillar or fuel filler flap.

The Run Flat Indicator* does not replace

regular checks of the tire inflation pressures

since a gradual pressure loss in all four tires

cannot be detected by the Run Flat

Indicator*.

The Run Flat Indicator* is not able to issue a

warning due to a sudden dramatic loss of

tire inflation pressure (e.g. tire blowout

caused by a foreign object). In this case

bring the vehicle to a halt by carefully apply-

ing the brakes and avoiding abrupt steering

maneuvers.
