Operation

Tires and wheels

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 placard on the driver’s
door B-pillar (

page 357) or, if avail-

able, the supplemental tire pressure
information on the inside of the fuel
filler flap (

page 342), 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
(

page 168).

̈

Press the

j or k button repeat-

edly until you see the current inflation
pressures for each tire appear in the
display or the following message
appears in the multifunction display:

Tire pressure displayed

only after driving
a few minutes

̈

Press the reset button (

page 158).

The following message will appear in
the multifunction display:

Check current
tire pressure?

̈

Press the

æ button.

The following message will appear in
the multifunction display:

Tire pressure monitor
reactivated

The TPMS will now monitor the tire in-
flation pressure values of all four tires.

If you wish to cancel activation:

̈

Press the

ç button.

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 infla-
tion pressure recommended for the
vehicle operating condition. Tire pres-
sure should only be adjusted on cold
tires. Observe the recommended tire
inflation pressure on the placard on the
driver’s door B-pillar (

page 357).

Some vehicles may have supplemental
tire pressure information for driving at
high speeds (

page 364) or for vehicle

loads less than the maximum loaded
vehicle condition (

page 364). If such

information is provided, it can be found
on the inside of the fuel filler flap.
