Furthermore three beeps will sound
from the speaker on the respective
side.
The radar distance sensors are
located sideways in the rear bumper.
9 Warning
The rear cross traffic alert does not
replace driver vision. Note that
objects that are outside sensors,
e.g. below the bumper or
underneath the vehicle, are not
displayed.
Pedestrians, children or animals
are not detected.
Do not reverse the vehicle by only
looking at the Info-Display and
check the surrounding behind and
around the vehicle before
reversing.
Activation
Rear cross traffic alert is
automatically activated together with
the rear view camera when reverse gear is engaged.
Detection zones
The system sensors cover a zone of
approx. 20 metres to the left or right
side behind the vehicle.
Deactivation
Rear cross traffic alert is deactivated
together with the rear view camera
when a certain forward speed is
exceeded or if reverse gear is not
engaged for approx. 10 seconds.
Activation or deactivation of the rear
cross traffic alert can be set in the
vehicle personalisation menu in the
Colour-Info-Display.
Select the relevant setting in Settings,
I Vehicle in the Colour-Info-Display.

After changing of defective fuses
close the fuse box cover and press
until it engages.
If the fuse box cover is not closed
correctly, malfunctions may occur.

box is behind the storage
compartment in the instrument panel.
Open compartment, compress the
locking tabs, fold compartment down and remove.

244Vehicle careCaution
Tyre pressure monitoring system
warns just about low tyre pressure condition and does not replace
regular tyre maintenance by the
driver.
All wheels must be equipped with
pressure sensors and the tyres must
have the prescribed pressure.
Notice
In countries where the tyre pressure monitoring system is legally
required, the use of wheels without
pressure sensors will invalidate the
vehicle type approval.
Select the Tyre pressure monitoring
page under the Info Menu in the
Driver Information Centre 3 110
System status and pressure warnings
are displayed by a message with the
corresponding tyre flashing in the
Driver Information Centre.
A detected low tyre pressure
condition is indicated by the control
indicator w 3 107.
If
w lights up, stop as soon as
possible and inflate the tyres as
recommended 3 286.
After inflating driving may be required
to update the tyre pressure values in
the Driver Information Centre. During
this time w may light up.
If w lights up at lower temperatures
and extinguishes after some driving,
this could be an indicator for getting
low pressure. Check tyre pressure.
Vehicle messages 3 119.
If the tyre pressure must be reduced
or increased, switch off ignition.
Only mount wheels with pressure
sensors, otherwise the tyre pressure
will not be displayed and w
illuminates continuously.
A spare wheel or temporary spare
wheel is not equipped with pressure
sensors. The tyre pressure
monitoring system is not operational
for these wheels. Control indicator w
illuminates. For the further three
wheels the system remains
operational.

Vehicle care245
The use of commercially available
liquid tyre repair kits can impair the
function of the system. Factory
approved repair kits can be used.
External high-power radio equipment
could disrupt the tyre pressure
monitoring system.
Each time the tyres are replaced tyre
pressure monitoring system sensors
must be dismounted and serviced.
For the screwed sensor replace valve core and sealing ring, for clipped
sensor replace complete valve stem.
Vehicle loading status Adjust tyre pressure to load condition according tyre information label or
tyre pressure chart 3 286, and select
the according setting in the Tyre
loading page under the Settings
menu in the Driver Information Centre
3 110.
Select:
■ Light for comfort pressure up to
3 people
■ Eco for Eco pressure up to
3 people
■ Max for full loading
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
12 mph. In this case $ can be
displayed or pressure values can
swap in the Driver Information Centre.
If problems occur during the relearn
process, a warning message is
displayed in the Driver Information
Centre.
Temperature dependency Tyre pressure depends on the
temperature of the tyre. During
driving tyre temperature and pressure
increase.
The tyre pressure value displayed in
the Driver Information Centre shows
the actual tyre pressure. Therefore it
is important to check tyre pressure
with cold tyres.
Tread depth Check tread depth at regular
intervals.
Tyres should be replaced for safety
reasons at a tread depth of 2-3 mm
(4 mm for winter tyres).
