Tire pressure loss warning system

(Canada only)

General notes

While the vehicle is in motion, the tire pres-

sure loss warning system monitors the set

tire pressure using the rotational speed of the

wheels. This enables the system to detect

significant pressure loss in a tire. If the speed

of rotation of a wheel changes as a result of a

loss of pressure, a corresponding warning

message will appear in the multifunction dis-

play.
You can recognize the tire pressure loss warn-

ing by the

Run Flat Indicator Active

message which

appears in the

menu of the multi-

function display. Information on the message

display can be found in the "Restarting the tire

pressure loss warning system" section

(

page 400).

Important safety notes

The tire pressure warning system does not

warn you of an incorrectly set tire pressure.

Observe the notes on the recommended tire

pressure (

Y

page 393).

The tire pressure loss warning does not

replace the need to regularly check the tire

pressure. An even loss of pressure on several

tires at the same time cannot be detected by

the tire pressure loss warning system.
The tire pressure monitor is not able to warn

you of a sudden loss of pressure, e.g. if the

tire is penetrated by a foreign object. In the

event of a sudden loss of pressure, bring the

vehicle to a halt by braking carefully. Avoid

abrupt steering maneuvers.
The function of the tire pressure loss warning

system is limited or delayed if:

R

snow chains are mounted on your vehicle's

tires.

R

road conditions are wintry.

R

you are driving on sand or gravel.

R

you adopt a very sporty driving style (cor-

nering at high speeds or driving with high

rates of acceleration).

R

you are driving with a heavy load (in the

vehicle or on the roof).

Restarting the tire pressure loss warn-

ing system

Restart the tire pressure loss warning system

if you have:

R

changed the tire pressure

R

changed the wheels or tires

R

mounted new wheels or tires

X

Before restarting, make sure that the tire

pressures are set properly on all four tires

for the respective operating conditions.
The recommended tire pressure can be

found on the Tire and Loading Information

placard on the B-pillar on the driver's side.

Additionally, a tire pressure table is

attached to the fuel filler flap. The tire pres-

sure loss warning system can only give reli-

able warnings if you have set the correct

tire pressure. If an incorrect tire pressure is
