System learning phaseEach time a wheel is changed, the tire pressure
monitoring re-learns the tires. The system identi-
fies the wheel positions.
The current tire pressures will not be available on
the multi-purpose display until the learning phase
is complete.
System learning phase
fSelect tire type and tire size in the menu TIRE
PRESSURE > SETTINGS > TIRES.
The learning process is started. The tire type
and size must be selected e ve n if the se ttings
for the new set of wheels are the same as for
the old wheels.Note
The spare wheel and collapsible spare wheel do
not contain a wheel transmitter and are not
monitored by the tire pressure monitoring.
The tire pressures for cold tires (68 °F/20 °C) are
shown in the TIRE PRESSURE menu (filling informa-
tion) during the learning phase. The required
pressure for the spare wheel is always displayed
in the TIRE PRESSURE menu (filling information).
fCheck the tire pressure for the spare wheel
and collapsible spare wheel manually.
Tire pressure menuMAIN MENU > TIRE PRESSURE
The TIRE PRESSURE menu provides an overview
of the current pressure specifications for the
respective wheel (filling information). The pressure
differences with respect to the required pressure
are specified.
If the wheels have not been learned, the current
pressures are unavailable.
The spare wheel is not monitored. The required
pressure is specified in brackets.
To make changes to the settings of the tire pres-
sure monitoring, select SETTINGS in the TIRE
PRESSURE menu.

Tire pressure warnings and
messagesThe tire pressure monitoring warns about loss in
pressure in two stages, depending on the amount
of pressure loss:
Stage 1 – Tire 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 in a suitable place. Check the
tires for signs of damage and change them if necessary.
Example: If the tire pressure display shows
„– 3 psi“, you must increase the tire pressure by
3psi.
Tires lose air over time without a tire defect being
present. The tire pressure monitoring 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.

Message indicating a flat tire while the
system is learningThis warning message indicates a flat tire with a
pressure loss of at least 6 psi (0.4 bar).
The system has not identified the wheel positions
yet; the tire pressures are not displayed.
This warning cannot be acknowledged.
fStop the vehicle in a suitable place. Check the
tires for signs of damage and change them if
necessary.
When the vehicle is stationary, the screen changes
to SELECTION AFTER WARNING.
fPlease observe the chapter “SELECTION AF-
TER WARNING” on Page 112.
Message indicating a flat tire after the
learning phase has been completedThis warning message indicates a flat tire with a
pressure loss of at least 6 psi (0.4 bar).

fIn the menu, select the task performed.Adding air
1. Inflate the tire.
For vehicles without air suspension: Please ob-
serve the chapter “REDUCING FILLING PRES-
SURE ON VEHICLES WITHOUT AIR SUSPENSI-
ON” on Page 328.
For vehicles with air suspension:
Please observe the chapter “REDUCING TIRE
PRES SU RE ON V EHICL ES WITH AIR S U SPENS I-

2. After inflating the wheel in question, select
ADD AIR.
The display returns to the basic screen after
acknowledgement.
Wheel change
1. Change wheel.
2. After changing a wheel, select menu item
WHEEL CHANGE.
The display returns to the SPARE WHEEL menu
after acknowledgement.
3. Select spare wheel type.
Please observe the chapter “SPARE WHEEL”
on Page 106.Sealing set
1. Remedy the tire damage with a tire sealant.
Please observe the chapter “TIRE SEALANT”
on Page 317.
2. After filling in the flat with the tire sealant, se-
lect menu item SEALING SET.
Please observe the chapter “TIRE SEALANT/
SEALING SET” on Page 107.
The display returns to the basic screen after
selecting SEALING SET.
A warning appears on the multi-purpose dis-
play if the speed limit of 50 mph (80 km/h) is
exceeded.
Note on operation
If you make a selection without performing the
action described in the selection, the message
CAUTION – FLAT TIRE – CHECK TIRES will appear
again.
fCheck the tires for signs of damage and fill or
change them if necessary.

Warning “When vehicle stops:
Hit selection”If you drive off after changing a wheel or inflating
the tires and neglect to make a selection in the
screen SELECTION AFTER WARNING, the following
message will appear: WHEN VEHICLE STOPS:

Controls, Safety, Instruments Ye s :
– 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.
No:
The display automatically returns to the menu TIRE
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 is faulty,
– wheel transmitters for the tire pressure
monitoring 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 124.fAll warnings and messages in the tire pressure
monitoring are also indicated by the warning
light in the instrument panel.
The warning light goes out as soon as all faults
are remedied.

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 TIRE PRESSURE menu (filling informa-
tion):
As a deviation from the required pressure for
each wheel if the system has learned the
values.
– In the TIRE PRESSURE menu (filling informa-
tion):
As a required pressure for each axle if the
system has not learned the values.
– On the tire pressure plate in the front left door
aperture for each wheel.
– In this Owner’s Manual:
Please observe the chapter “TIRE PRES-
SURES, COLD” on Page 385.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 297.
