If a spare wheel is mounted, the system

may continue to show the tire pressure of

the wheel that has been removed for a few

minutes. Observe that the displayed value

is not the same as the current tire pressure

of the emergency spare wheel.

Tire pressure monitor warning mes-

sages

If the tire pressure monitor detects a signifi-

cant pressure loss on one or more tires, a

warning message is shown in the multifunc-

tion display. A warning tone also sounds and

the tire pressure warning lamp lights up in the

instrument cluster.
Each tire that is affected by a significant loss

of pressure is highlighted in the pressure dis-

play.

If the wheel positions on the vehicle are

rotated, the tire pressures may be dis-

played 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 refer-

ence 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.

X

Set the tire pressure to the value recom-

mended for the corresponding driving sit-

uation on the Tire and Loading Information

placard on the driver's side

B-pillar (

Additional tire pressure values for different

loads can also be found on the tire pressure

table on the inside of the fuel filler flap
