Tire inflation pressure warnings

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.

Example illustration

In addition, a warning signal sounds.

Restarting the TPMS

The TPMS must be restarted when you
have adjusted the tire inflation pressure to
a new level (e.g. because of different load
or driving conditions). The TPMS is then
recalibrated to the current tire inflation
pressures.

̈

Using the Tire and Loading Information
placard on the driver’s door B-pillar
(

page 334) or, if available, the

supplemental tire inflation pressure
information on the inside of the fuel
filler flap (

page 322), make sure the

tire inflation pressure of all four tires is
correct.

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 loose 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 (

page 334). Some

vehicles may have supplemental tire inflation
pressure information for driving at high speeds
(

page 340) or for vehicle loads less than the

maximum loaded vehicle condition
(

page 334). If such information is provided, it

can be found on the inside of the fuel filler flap.
