If the wheel positions on the vehicle are

rotated, the tire pressures may be

displayed for the wrong positions for a

short time. This is rectified after a few

minutes of driving, and the tire pressures

are displayed for the correct positions.

Restarting the tire pressure monitor

When you restart the tire pressure monitor,

all existing warning messages are deleted and

the warning lamps go out. The monitor uses

the currently set tire pressures as the

reference values for monitoring. In most

cases, the tire pressure monitor will

automatically detect the new reference

values after you have changed the tire

pressure. However, you can also define

reference values manually as described here.

The tire pressure monitor then monitors the

new tire pressure values.

Overloaded tires can overheat, causing a

blowout. Overloaded tires can also impair the

steering and driving characteristics and lead

to brake failure. There is a risk of accident.
Observe the load rating of the tires. The load

rating must be at least half of the GAWR of

your vehicle. Never overload the tires by

exceeding the maximum load.

Two instruction labels on your vehicle show

the maximum possible load.
