If a spare wheel is installed, the system

may continue to show the tire pressure of
the wheel that has been removed for a few
minutes. If this occurs, note that the value
displayed for the position where the
emergency spare wheel/spare wheel is
installed is not the same as the current tire
pressure for the spare wheel.

TPMS warning messages

If the TPMS detects a significant pressure
loss on one or more tires, a warning message
is shown in the multifunction display. In
addition, a warning tone sounds and the tire
pressure warning lamp lights up in the
instrument cluster.
Each tire in which a significant pressure loss
has been detected is highlighted with a red
triangle.

Warning

It is the driver's responsibility to set the tire
inflation pressure to the recommended cold
tire inflation pressure. Underinflated tires
affect the ability to steer or brake the vehicle.
You might lose control over the vehicle.

When you restart the TPMS, all existing
warning messages are deleted and the
warning lamps go out. The currently set tire
pressures are adopted as the specified values
for monitoring.
The TPMS must be restarted when you set the
tire pressure to a new value (as a result of
changed handling or load characteristics, for
example). The TPMS then monitors the new
tire pressure values.
Restart the TPMS after the tire pressure has
been set, as desired, according to the
recommended values for the driving

conditions (

Y

page 326). Only correct tire

pressures on cold tires. Comply with the tire
pressures recommended on the Tire and
Loading Information placard on the B-pillar on
the driver's side. Additional tire pressure
values for driving at high speeds or with heavy
loads can be found in the tire pressure table
on the inside of the fuel filler flap.
