Warning!
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a Tire
Pressure Monitoring (TPM) malfunction indicator
when the system is not operating properly.
The TPM malfunction indicator is combined with a
low tire pressure telltale.
When the system detects a malfunction, the
telltale will flash for approx. one minute and then
remain continuously illuminated. This sequence
will continue upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as
long as the malfunction exists.
When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the
system may not be able to detect or signal low tire
pressure as intended.
TPM malfuntions may occur for a variety of
reasons, including the installation of replacement
or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that
prevent the TPM from functioning properly.
Always check the TPM malfunction telltale after
replacing one or more tires or wheels on your
vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alter-
nate tires and wheels allow the TPM to continue to
function properly.The warning light in the speedometer lights up:
– When a loss in pressure has been detected.
– When learning newly mounted wheels/wheel
sensors, as long as the vehicle’s own wheels
have not yet been recognized.
In the event of a defect in Tire Pressure Monitoring
or a temporary fault, the warning light in the
speedometer flashes for approx. one minute and
then remains continuously illuminated.
The tire pressure warning light in the instrument
panel goes out only when the cause of the fault
has been rectified.
Partial monitoringMonitoring of the other wheels is continued if there
is a fault in one or two wheel transmitters.
– The tire pressure warning light lights up.
– The message “TPM partial monitoring” is
displayed on the on-board computer.
– No tire pressures are displayed on the on-
board computer for wheels with faulty wheel
transmitters.
No monitoringIn the event of faults the Tire Pressure Monitoring
cannot monitor the tire pressure.
The warning light on the instrument panel flashes
for approx. one minute and then remains conti-
nuously illuminated and a corresponding message
appears on the on-board computer.
Monitoring is not active when:
– the Tire Pressure Monitoring is faulty,
– wheel transmitters for the Tire Pressure
Monitoring are missing,
– during the learning phase after the tire settings
have been updated,
– after a wheel change without updating the tire
settings,
– more than four wheel transmitters are
detected,
– there is external interference by other radio
sources, e.g. wireless headphones,
– tire temperatures are too high.
fPlease see the chapter “WARNINGS ON THE
INSTRUMENT PANEL AND THE ON-BOARD
COMPUTER” on Page 148.
