XStop after driving for approximately ten
minutes and check the tire pressure with
the tire inflation compressor.
The tire pressure mustnow be at least
130 kPa (1.3 bar/19 psi).
GWARNING
If the required tire pressure is not reached
after driving for a short period, the tire is too
badly damaged. The tire sealant cannot repair
the tire in this instance. Damaged tires and a
tire pressure that is too low can significantly
impair the vehicle's braking and driving
characteristics. There is a risk of accident.
Do not continue driving. Contact a qualified
specialist workshop.
XCorrect the tire pressure if it is still at least
130 kPa (1.3 bar/19 psi) (for the values,
see the Tire and Loading Information
placard on the driver's side B-pillar or tire
pressure table on the fuel filler flap).
XTo increase the tire pressure:switch on
the tire inflation compressor.
XTo reduce the tire pressure:depress
pressure release button next to
pressure gauge .
XTo remove the tire sealant bottle from the
tire inflation compressor, press together
the locking tabs on the yellow cap.
XPull the tire sealant bottle out of the tire
inflation compressor.
The filler hose remains attached to the tire
sealant bottle.
XStow the tire sealant bottle and the tire
inflation compressor.
XDrive to the nearest qualified specialist
workshop and have the tire changed there.
XHave the tire sealant bottle and the filler
hose replaced as soon as possible at a
qualified specialist workshop.
XHave the tire sealant bottle replaced every
four years at a qualified specialist
workshop.
Battery (vehicle)
Important safety notes
Special tools and expert knowledge are
required when working on the battery, e.g.
removal and installing. You should therefore
have all work involving the battery carried out
at a qualified specialist workshop.

Information on air pressure for the tires on
yourvehicle can be found:
Ron the vehicle's Tire and Loading
Information placard on the B-pillar
Ron the tire pressure label on the fuel filler
flap
Rin the "Tire pressure information" section
Checking tire pressures manually
To determine and set the correct tire
pressure, proceed as follows:
XRemove the valve cap of the tire that is to
be checked.
XPress the tire pressure gauge securely onto
the valve.
XRead the tire pressure and compare it with
the recommended value on the Tire and
Loading Information placard on the
B-pillar on the driver's side of your vehicle.
XIf necessary, increase the tire pressure to
the recommended value (Ypage 316).
XIf the tire pressure is too high, release air
by pressing down the metal pin in the valve
using the tip of a pen, for example. Then,
checkthe tire pressure again using the tire
pressure gauge.
XScrew the valve cap onto the valve.
XRepeatthese steps for the other tires.
Tire pressure loss warning system
(Canada only)
General notes
While the vehicle is in motion, the tire
pressure loss warning system monitors the
set tire pressure using the rotational speed of
the wheels. This enables the system to detect
significant pressure loss in a tire. If the speed
of rotation of a wheel changes as a result of
a loss of pressure, a corresponding warning
message will appearinthe multifunction
display.
You can recognize the tire pressure loss
warning by theRun Flat Indicator
Active Press 'OK' to Restartmessage
which appears in theServicemenu of the
multifunction display. Further information on
the message display can be found under
"Restarting the tire pressure loss warning
system" (Ypage 319).
Important safety notes
The tire pressure warning system does not
warn you of an incorrectly set tire pressure.
Observe the notes on the recommended tire
pressure (Ypage 316).
The tire pressure loss warning does not
replace the need to regularly check the tire
pressure. An even loss of pressure on several
tires at the same time cannot be detected by
the tire pressure loss warning system.
The tire pressure monitor is not able to warn
you of a sudden loss of pressure, e.g. if the
tire is penetrated by a foreign object. In the
event of a sudden loss of pressure, bring the
vehicle to a halt by braking carefully. Avoid
abrupt steering maneuvers.
The function of the tire pressure loss warning
system is limited or delayed if:
Rsnow chains are mounted on your vehicle's
tires.
Rroad conditions are wintry.
Ryou are driving on sand or gravel.
Ryou adopt a very sporty driving style
(cornering at high speeds or driving with
high rates of acceleration).
Ryou are driving with a heavy load (in the
vehicle or on the roof).
Restarting the tire pressure loss
warning system
Restart the tire pressure loss warning system
if you have:
Rchanged the tire pressure
Rchanged the wheels or tires
Rmounted new wheels or tires
