Tire pressure monitor warning mes-

loss in one or more tires, a warning message
is shown in the multifunction display and the
yellow tire pressure monitor warning lamp
comes on.

appears in the multifunction display, the
tire pressure in at least one tire is too low
and must be corrected at the next oppor-
tunity.
R If the Check Tire Pressure Check Tire Pressure message
appears in the multifunction display, the
tire pressure in one or more tires has drop-
ped significantly and the tires must be
checked.

the display messages in the "Tires" section
(

i 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. The tire pressure monitor
then monitors the new tire pressure values.
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
(
