305 Operation
Tires and wheels
Reactivating the Run Flat Indicator
The tire inflation pressure monitor must be
reactivated in the following situations:

If you have changed the tire inflation
pressure


If you have replaced the wheels or tires


If you have installed new wheels or
tires

Using the tire placard on the driver’s
door B-pillar or, if available, the inside
of the fuel filler flap, make sure the tire
inflation pressure of all four tires is cor-
rect.

Switch on the ignition (
page 38).
Make sure the standard display menu
appears in the multifunction display
(
page 141).

Press buttonk orj repeatedly
until the following message appears in
the multifunction display:Run Flat Indicator

Warning!
G
The Run Flat Indicator can only warn you in
a reliable manner if you have set the correct
tire inflation pressures for each tire.
If an incorrect tire inflation pressure was
set, the system will monitor the pressure ac-
cording to the incorrect value.

308 OperationTires and wheelsReactivating the TPMS
The TPMS must be reactivated 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 placard on the driver’s
door B-pillar (
page 296) or, if avail-
able, the supplemental tire pressure
information on the inside of the fuel fill-
er flap (
page 283), make sure the tire
inflation pressure of all four tires is cor-
rect.

Press buttonè orÿ on the mul-
tifunction steering wheel repeatedly
until the standard display menu ap-
pears in the multifunction display
(page 141).

Press thej or kbutton repeat-
edly until you see the flowing message:Tire pressure
monitor active
Menu: R-button

Press the reset button (
page 27).
The following message will appear in
the multifunction display:
Restart
tire pressure
monitor?
Cancel
Yes

Press the æbutton.
The following message will appear in
the multifunction display:Tire pres. monitor
restartedAfter driving a few minutes the system
verifies that the current tire inflation
pressures are within the system’s
specified range. Afterwards the current
tire inflation pressures are accepted as
reference pressures and then moni-
tored.
If you wish to cancel activation:

Press the çbutton.
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 lose control over the vehicle.
i
Reactivate the TPMS after adjusting the tire
inflation pressure to the inflation pressure rec-
ommended for the vehicle operating condition.
Tire pressure should only be adjusted on cold
tires. Observe the recommended tire inflation
pressure on the placard on the driver’s door
B-pillar (
page 296). Some vehicles may have
supplemental tire pressure information for driv-
ing at high speeds (
page 302) or for vehicle
loads less than the maximum loaded vehicle con-
dition (
page 302). If such information is pro-
vided, it can be found on the inside of the fuel
filler flap (page 283).

311 Operation

Reactivating Advanced TPMS*
The TPMS must be reactivated 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 placard on the driver’s
door B-pillar or, if available, the supple-
mental tire pressure information on the inside of the fuel filler flap, make sure
the tire inflation pressure of all four
tires is correct.

Press buttonè orÿ on the mul-
tifunction steering wheel repeatedly
until the standard display menu ap-
pears in the multifunction display
(page 147).

Press thej or kbutton repeat-
edly until you see the current inflation
pressures for each tire appear in the
multifunction display or the following
message appears in the multifunction
display:Tire pressure is
only displayed
after driving for
a few minutes

Press the reset button (
page 27).
The following message will appear in
the multifunction display:
Restart tire
pressure monitor?
i
Operating radio transmission equipment
(e.g. wireless headsets, two-way radios) in or
near the vehicle could cause the TPMS to mal-
function.Warning!
