Tire pressure warnings and
messagesThe tire pressure monitoring system warns about
loss in pressure in two stages, depending on the
amount of pressure loss:
Stage 1 – Tyre pressure too low message
(3 to 6 psi (0.2 to 0.4 bar) loss in pressure)
Stage 2 – Flat tire warning
(loss in pressure as of 6 psi (0.4 bar))
Warning!
Risk of accident. Tire damage may impair
road safety.
fStop the vehicle at a suitable location if there
is a tire pressure warning or tire pressure mes-
sage. Check the tires for signs of damage and fill or change them if necessary.
Example: If the tire pressure display shows
“– 3 psi”, you must increase the tire pressure by
3psi.
Tires can lose air over time without a tire defect
being present. The tire pressure monitoring sys-
tem will then issue a corresponding message or
warning.
fCorrect the tire pressure.
Message indicating tire pressure lossThis message indicates a pressure loss of be-
tween 3 and 6 psi (0.2 and 0.4 bar) if the wheel
positions have not been identified.
This message appears when the vehicle is station-
ary and the ignition is switched on again.
fThe message is displayed for 10 seconds or
fPress RESET switch.
Note on operation
fCorrect the tire pressure at the next opportuni-
ty. When correcting the tire pressure, add only
the pressure differences shown in the "Ty re
pressure" menu.
Message indicating tire pressure loss for
