Reactivating Advanced TPMS*
The TPMS must be reactivated when you
have adjusted the tire inflation pressure to
a new level (e.g. because of different load
or driving conditions). The TPMS is then
recalibrated to the current tire inflation
pressures.
̈
Using the Tire and Loading Information
placard on the driver’s door B-pillar
(
page 389) or, if available, the sup-
plemental tire inflation pressure
information on the inside of the fuel
filler flap (
page 375), make sure the
tire inflation pressure of all four tires is
correct.

Press button
è or ÿ on the mul-
tifunction steering wheel repeatedly
until the standard display menu
appears in the multifunction display

Press the
j or k button repeat-
edly until you see the current inflation
pressures for each tire appear in the

Underinflation also reduces fuel efficiency
and tire tread life, and may effect the vehi-
cle’s handling and stopping ability. Please
note that the TPMS is not a substitute for
proper tire maintenance, and it is the driv-
er’s responsibility to maintain correct tire
pressure, even if under-inflation has not
reached the level to trigger illumination of
the TPMS low tire pressure telltale.
i
Operating radio transmission equipment
(e.g. wireless headsets, two-way radios) in or
near the vehicle could cause the TPMS to mal-
function.
Warning!
G
It is the driver’s responsibility to calibrate
the TPMS on the recommended cold infla-
tion pressure. Underinflated tires affect the
ability to steer or brake the vehicle. You
might lose control over the vehicle.
i
Reactivate the TPMS after adjusting the tire
inflation pressure to the inflation pressure rec-
ommended for the vehicle operating condition.
Tire pressure should only be adjusted on cold
tires. Observe the recommended tire inflation
pressure on the Tire and Loading Information
placard on the driver’s door B-pillar
(
page 389). Some vehicles may have supple-
mental tire inflation pressure information for
driving at high speeds (
page 395) or for vehi-
cle loads less than the maximum loaded vehicle
condition (
page 395). If such information is
provided, it can be found on the inside of the fuel
filler flap.
