TPMS warning messages

If the tire pressure monitor detects a
significant pressure loss on one or more tires,
a warning message is shown in the
multifunction display. A warning tone also
sounds and the tire pressure warning lamp
lights up in the instrument cluster.
For each tire that is affected by a significant
loss of pressure, the tire pressure is shown in
yellow.
If the

Correct Tire Pressure

message

appears in the multifunction display:

X

Check the tire pressure on all four wheels
and correct it if necessary.

i

If the wheel positions on the vehicle are

interchanged, the tire pressures may be
displayed 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.

Warning

It is the driver's responsibility to set the tire
inflation pressure to the recommended cold
tire inflation pressure. Underinflated tires
affect the ability to steer or brake the vehicle.
You might lose control over the vehicle.

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
reference values for monitoring.
The TPMS must be restarted when you set the
tire pressure to a new value (as a result of
changed handling or load characteristics, for
example). The TPMS then monitors the new
tire pressure values.

i

Canada only: in most cases, the tire

pressure monitor recognizes the new
reference values automatically. However,
you can also define reference values
manually as described here.

Restart the tire pressure monitor after you
have set the tire pressure to the value
recommended for the desired driving
situation (

page 441). Only correct tire

pressures on cold tires. Comply with the

values for driving at high speeds or with heavy
loads can be found in the Tire Pressure table
on the inside of the fuel filler flap.
