Note on operation
The reminder SPARE WHEEL/SEALING SET
OPERATION? goes out automatically after approx.
10 seconds if no selection is made during this
time. The original selection “YES” is then
maintained.In the event of faults, Tire Pressure Monitoring
cannot monitor the tire pressure. A distinction is
made between partial monitoring and inactive
system.
In the case of partial monitoring, the tire pressure
warning light on the speedometer flashes about
60 seconds and lights up thereafter permanently.
No message is output on the multi-purpose
display.
If Tire Pressure Monitoring is not active, the tire
pressure warning light on the speedometer
flashes about 60 seconds and lights up thereafter
permanently. A corresponding message is output
on the multi-purpose display.
The warning light goes out as soon as all faults
have been remedied.
Tire Pressure Monitoring switches to partial
monitoring if:
– there are up to two wheel transmitters not
present or faulty (e.g. a spare wheel or collap-
sible spare wheel is fitted that does not have a
wheel transmitter).
In the event of partial monitoring, the value “_” is
displayed in the sub-menu TYRE PRESSURE (filling
information) at the position of the faulty or missing
wheel transmitter.
Tire Pressure Monitoring is not active in the
following cases:
– Tire Pressure Monitoring is faulty,– at least three wheel transmitters for Tire
Pressure Monitoring are faulty or not present,
– temporarily after changing a wheel,
– too many wheel transmitters have been
detected,
– there is external interference by other radio
sources, e.g. wireless headphones,
– tire temperatures are too high.
fFor information on messages on the multi-
purpose display:
Please see the chapter “OVERVIEW OF
WARNING MESSAGES” on Page 149.
Notes on tire pressurePressure increase as the result of tempera-
ture increase
In accordance with physical principles, the tire
pressure changes as the temperature changes.
The tire pressure increases or decreases by
around 1.5 psi (0.1 bar) for every 18 °F (10 °C)
change in temperature.
Tire pressure specifications
The tire pressure must match the prescribed value
(required pressure).
You can find information on the tire pressure for
cold tires 68 °F (20 °C):
