Checking tire pressure electronically X
Make sure that the SmartKey is in position
2(Y page 115) in the ignition lock.
X Press and hold the V or U button on
the multifunction steering wheel until the
standard display appears in the
multifunction display ( Y page 156).
X Press and hold the & or * button
until the current tire pressure of each tire
is shown in the multifunction display.
If the vehicle has been parked for over 20
minutes, the Tire pressure displayed
only after driving for a few
minutes message appears.
i If a spare wheel is mounted, the system
may continue to show the tire pressure of
the wheel
that has been removed for a few
minutes. If this occurs, note that the value
displayed for the position where the spare
wheel is mounted is not the same as the
spare wheel's current tire pressure.
Tire pressure monitor warning
messages If the tire pressure monitor detects a
significant
pressure
loss on one or more tires,
a warning message is shown in the
multifunction display. A warning tone also
sounds and the tire pressure warning lamp
lights up in the instrument cluster.
Each tire that is affected by a significant loss
of pressure is highlighted by a red rectangle.
i If the wheel positions on the vehicle are
interchanged, the tire pressures may be
displayed for the wrong positions for a
short time. This is rectified after a few minutes of driving, and the tire pressures
are displayed for the correct positions.
Restarting the tire pressure monitor G
WARNING
It is the driver's responsibility to set the tire
pressure to the recommended cold tire
pressure. Underinflated
tires affect the ability
to steer or brake the vehicle. You might lose
control over the vehicle.
When you restart the tire pressure monitor,
all existing warning messages are deleted and
the warning lamps go out. The monitor uses
the currently set tire pressures as the
reference values for monitoring.
The tire pressure monitor must be restarted
when you set the tire pressure to a new value
(as a result of changed drive or load
characteristics, for example). The tire
pressure monitor then monitors the new tire
pressure values.
i Canada only: in most cases, the tire
pressure monitor recognizes the new
reference values automatically. However,
you can also define reference values
manually as described here.
Restart the tire pressure monitor after you
have set the tire pressure to the value
recommended for the desired driving
situation ( Y page 245). Only correct tire
pressures on cold tires. Comply with the
recommended tire pressures on the tire and
loading information table on the B-pillar on
the driver's side. Additional tire pressure
values for driving at high speeds or with heavy
loads can be found in the tire pressure table
on the inside of the fuel filler flap.
X Make sure that the tire pressure is correct
on all four wheels.
X Make sure that the SmartKey is in position
2 in the ignition lock.
