After 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 buttonç.Checking tire pressure electronically
with the Advanced Tire Pressure Moni-
toring 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.
iRestart the TPMS after adjusting the tire in-
flation pressure to the inflation pressure recom-
mended for the vehicle operating condition. Tire
pressure should only be adjusted on cold tires.
Observe the recommended tire inflation pres-
sure on the Tire and Loading Information placard
on the driver’s door B-pillar (
page 352). Some
vehicles may have supplemental tire inflation
pressure information for driving at high speeds
(
page 358) or for vehicle loads less than the
maximum loaded vehicle condition
(
page 358). If such information is provided, it
can be found on the inside of the fuel filler flap.

Tires and wheels
Restarting Advanced TPMS*
The TPMS usually recognizes new refer-
ence values automatically, for example
when you have

adjusted the tire inflation pressure

changed wheels or tires

mounted new wheels or tiresIf you want to set new reference values
manually:
Using the Tire and Loading Information
placard on the driver’s door B-pillar
(
page 352) or, if available, the sup-
plemental tire inflation pressure
information on the inside of the fuel
filler flap (
page 337), 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
appears in the multifunction display
(
page 147).
Press buttonj or k repeatedly
until

the current inflation pressures for
each tire appear in the multifunc-
tion display
or

the following message appears in
the multifunction display
Tire pressure
displayed after
driving for
a few minutes.
Press the reset button (page 145).
The following message will appear in
the multifunction display:
Restart tire
pressure monitor?
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.
iReactivate 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 Tire and Loading Information
placard on the driver’s door B-pillar
(
page 352). Some vehicles may have supple-
mental tire inflation pressure information for
driving at high speeds (
page 358) or for vehi-
cle loads less than the maximum loaded vehicle
condition (
page 358). If such information is
provided, it can be found on the inside of the fuel
filler flap.
