• Tire pressure must only be adjusted when the temperature of the
tires is about the same as ambient air temperature .
• The yellow symbol disappears, when the tire pressure is corrected
and the new pressure is sto red in the system ~
page 330.
• After changing a wheel you have to adjust the tire pressures on all
wheels. In addition, you must then initialize the new tire pressures in
the tire pressure monitoring system~
page 330.
• If
your vehicle is equipped with a spare tire* with a wheel sensor,
the tire will be monitored and the display symbols~
page 328,
fig. 257 or~ page 328, fig. 258 will appear if the pressure is too
low .a
Applies to vehicles: with Tire pr essure mon itoring system
Displaying tire pressures and temperatures
The current status of the tires can be displayed in MMI.

Vehicle OP-eration
-Turn on the ignition.
- Press the [ CAR ] func tion bu tton.
- Select
Systems in the CAR menu.
- Select
Tire pressure monitoring.
Fig. 260 MMI display :
Displaying the tire
pressure
- Select Display tire pressures . The tire pressures and
temperatures are displayed => fig. 260.
Current ti re pressures are shown in green and yellow numbers. The
meaning of the colors is as follows:
• Green:
If current tire pressure and the specified pressure are
approximately the same, the tire pressure is shown in green .
• Yellow: If current tire pressure is too low with respect to specified
pressure, the tire pressure is shown in yellow.
[I] Tips
• During the learning period, tire pressure and tire temperature are
not displayed. Horizontal lines--,-- are displayed for pressure and
temperature .
• Th e tire pressure is shown on the label located eithe r on the
dr iver's side B·pillar (visible when the door is open) or inside the fuel
fi ller flap.

• The tire pressure monitoring system helps the driver to keep an
eye on tire pressures. B ut the driver still has the responsibility for
maintaining the correct tire pressure .•

Storing tire pressures
Correct storage of specified pressure is the basic require­
ment for reliable tire pressure monitoring.
In order for the tire pressure monitoring system to operate
appropriately, you have to re-save the specified pressures
whenever you adjust tire pressure, for example when the load
condition of your vehicle changes . Proceed as follows:
Corr ecting tir e pr essure
- Check the pressure in the tires (including the spare t ire*) .
- Adjust air pressure as needed in accordance with t he infor -
mation on the label located e ither on the driver's side B ­
pillar (visible when the door is open), inside the fuel filler
flap and additionally in the manual.
Saving tire p ressures
- Turn on the ignition.
- Press the [
CAR] function button .
- Select
Systems in the CAR menu .
- Select
Tire pressure mon itoring .
-Select Sto re curr. tire pressure s~ page 329, fig . 259 .
All pressure warning indicators in the display will be canceled.
Following each intentional change in specified pressures, tire pres­
sures must be resaved . After the
pressures are saved, the tire pressure monitoring system
measures the c urrent tire pressures and saves them as the new spec­
ified pressures .
(I] Tips
• The tire pressure is shown on the tire pressure label. On USA vehi­
cles, the tire pressure label is located on the driver's side B-pillar. On
Canada veh icles, the tire pressure label is located either on the
driver's side B-pillar or inside the fuel filler flap . The tire pressure
label lists the recommended cold t ire inflation pressures for the
vehicle at its maximum capacity weight and the tires that were on
your vehicle at the time it was manufactured. For recommended tire
pressures for normal load conditions, please see chapter
=> page 310.
• The tire pressure monitoring system helps the driver to keep an
eye on tire p ressures. But the driver still has the responsib ility for
maintaining the correct tire pressure .
• If your veh icle is eq uipped w ith a standard spare ti re*, it must be
inflated to the maximum pressure specified for the vehicle .•
