Using the Tire and Loading Information
placard on the driver’s door B‑pillar
(Y page 128), make sure the tire
inflation pressure of all four tires is
correct.
i Restart the TPMS after adjusting the
tire inflation pressure to the inflation
pressure recommended 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
Informatio nplacard on the driver’s door
B‑pillar (Y page 128). X
Press Restarting TPMS button 0002.
The combination low tire pressure/TPMS
malfunction telltale in the instrument
cluster (Y page 21) flashes for
approximately 5 seconds and then goes
out.
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 monitored. Maximum tire inflation pressure
G
WARNING
Never exceed the max. tire inflation
pressure. Follow recommended tire
inflation pressures. Do not underinflate tires. Underinflated
tires wear excessively and/or unevenly,
adversely affect handling and energy
consumption, and are more likely to fail
from being overheated.
Do not overinflate tires. Overinflated
tires can adversely affect handling and
ride comfort, wear unevenly, increase
stopping distance, and result in sudden
deflation (blowout) because they are more
likely to become punctured or damaged by
road debris, potholes etc. i
For illustration purposes only. Actual
data on tires are specific to each vehicle
and may vary from data shown in above
illustration.
This is the maximum permissible tire
inflation pressure 0002for the tire.
Always follow the recommended tire
inflation pressure (Y page 122) for proper
tire inflation. Loading the vehicle
Two labels on your vehicle show how much
weight it may properly carry.
1) The Tire and Loading Information placard can be found on the driver’s
door B‑pillar. This placard tells you
important information about the
number of people that can be in the
vehicle and the total weight that can be
carried in the vehicle. It also contains
information on the proper size and Tires and wheels
