If the system detects a significant loss of
tire inflation pressure in one or more than
one tire, a message appears in the multi-
function display.

The respective tire is indicated by a red
rectangle. In addition, a warning signal
sounds.
Restarting Advanced TPMS
The TPMS usually recognizes new refer-
ence values automatically, for example
when you have
ț adjusted the tire inflation pressure
ț changed wheels or tires
ț mounted new wheels or tires
If you want to set new reference values
manually:
̈ Using the Tire and Loading Information
placard on the driver’s door B-pillar
(
୴ page 263) or, if available, the sup-
plemental tire inflation pressure
information on the inside of the fuel
filler flap ( ୴ page 247), 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
(
୴ page 122).
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 Restart the TPMS after adjusting the tire in-
flation pressure to the inflation pressure recom-
mended for the vehicle operating condition. Tire
pressure should only be adjusted on cold tires.
Observe the recommended tire inflation pres-
sure on the Tire and Loading Information placard
on the driver’s door B-pillar (
୴ page 263). Some
vehicles may have supplemental tire inflation
pressure information for driving at high speeds
(
୴ page 247) or for vehicle loads less than the
maximum loaded vehicle condition
(
୴ page 247). If such information is provided, it
can be found on the inside of the fuel filler flap.
