tronically with the Advanced Tire Pres-
sure Monitoring System (Advanced
TPMS)*, (Canada only)
The TPMS only functions on wheels that
are equipped with the proper electronic
sensors. It monitors the tire inflation pres-
sure, as selected by the driver, in all four
tires. A warning is issued to alert you to a
decrease in pressure in one or more of the
tires.
Tire pressure inquiries are made using the
multifunction display. The present inflation
pressures are displayed only after a few
minutes’ travel time.

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 (
page 335) or, if avail-
able, the supplemental tire pressure
information on the inside of the fuel
filler flap (
page 321), make sure the
tire inflation pressure of all four tires is
correct.

tifunction steering wheel repeatedly

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 335). Some vehicles may have
supplemental tire pressure information for driv-
ing at high speeds (
page 341) or for vehicle
loads less than the maximum loaded vehicle con-
dition (
page 341). If such information is pro-
vided, it can be found on the inside of the fuel
filler flap (page 321).
