– In case of sealing-set operation, the menu
changes directly to the basic screen. All
settings are retained.
– If the vehicle is operated with a collapsible
spare wheel or spare wheel, the warning mes-
sage “SYSTEM NOT ACTIVE, WORKSHOP” is
initially displayed for 10 seconds. The system
then returns to the basic screen.

The display automatically returns to the menu
TYRE PRESSURE > SETTINGS.
fSet the mounted tire set with tire type and tire
size. The system will re-learn the tires.
No monitoringIn the event of faults the tire pressure monitoring
cannot monitor the tire pressure.
The warning light on the instrument panel and a
message on the multi-purpose display light up.
Monitoring is not active when:
– the tire pressure monitoring system is faulty,
– wheel transmitters for the tire pressure
monitoring system are not present,
– temporarily after changing a wheel,
– has detected too many wheel transmitters,
– there is external interference by other radio
sources, e.g., wireless headphones,
– Tire temperatures are too high.
fPlease observe the chapter “WARNING LIGHTS
AND WARNING MESSAGES” on Page 106.All warnings and messages in the tire pressure
monitoring system are also indicated by the
warning light in the instrument panel.
The warning light goes out as soon as all faults are
remedied.

to - 0.4 bar)
3 - Flat-tire warning (as of -6 psi/-0.4 bar)
In accordance with physical principles, the air
pressure changes as the temperature changes.
The tire pressure increases or decreases by
around 1.5 psi (0.1 bar) for a temperature change
of 50°F (10°C).Tire pressure specificationsThe tire pressure must match the prescribed value
(required pressure).
You can find information on the tire pressure for
cold tires (68°F/20°C):
– In the TYRE PRESSURE menu (filling informa-
tion):
As a deviation from the required pressure for
each wheel if the system has learned the
values.
– In the TYRE PRESSURE menu (filling informa-
tion):
As a required pressure for each axle if the
system has not learned the values.
– And in the front left door aperture for each
wheel.
fPlease observe the chapter “TIRE PRESSU-
RES, COLD” on Page 350.
Insufficient tire pressure can cause tires to
overheat and thus be damaged – even invisibly.
Hidden tire damage is not eliminated by subse-
quently correcting the tire pressure.
fPlease observe the chapter “TIRES/WHEELS”
on Page 269.
