■ in the front left of the engine compartment,
■ in left-hand drive vehicles: in the interior behind the light switch, or,
in right-hand drive vehicles: behind
the glovebox,
■ behind a cover on the left side of the
load compartment.
Before replacing a fuse, turn off the
respective switch and the ignition.
A blown fuse can be recognised by its melted wire. Do not replace the fuse
until the cause of the fault has been
remedied.
Some functions are protected by
several fuses.
Fuses may also be inserted without existence of a function.

on your vehicle to ensure that the
replacement or alternate tyres and wheels allow the tyre pressure
monitoring system to continue to
function properly.
The use of commercially available
liquid tyre repair kits can impair the
function of the system. Factory
approved repair kits can be used.
System initialisation After a wheel change or tyre pressure
adjustment the system must be
initialised: inflate the cold tyres to the
prescribed pressure according to the
tyre information label or this
document 3 217. Then switch on
ignition and press and hold the DDS
button for approx. 4 seconds. The
control indicator A flashes three
times.
If the tyre pressure difference
between the left and the right wheel
on one axle is more than 30 kPa, tyre
pressure monitoring system
malfunction will be indicated, as the
vehicle starts moving for the first time after initialisation. Adjust tyre
pressure and repeat initialisation.Notice
The system needs to be initialised
after tyre pressure change,
otherwise it will not be able to warn
properly.
Each time the tyres are replaced, the
tyre pressure monitoring system
sensors have to be dismounted and
serviced. For the screwed sensor
replace the valve core and sealing
ring, for the clipped sensor replace
complete rubber valve stem.
Auto learn function
After changing wheels the vehicle
must be stationary for approx.
20 minutes, before the system
recalculates. The following relearn
process takes up to 10 minutes of
driving with a minimum speed of
16 mph.
Tyre deflation detection
system The tyre deflation detection system
continually checks the rotation speed
of all four tyres.
If a tyre loses pressure the control
indicator w illuminates red. Stop
immediately and check tyre pressure.
