›Switch on the ignition.›Press the
 » Fig. 170 symbol button for longer than 2 seconds.
If the warning light 
in the instrument cluster lights up and does not go out
after the system configuration, this indicates a system fault.
If the warning light 
in the instrument cluster flashes, there is a system fault.
Tyre pressure indicator
The warning light 
in the instrument cluster lights up when any of the fol-
lowing conditions are met.
› The tyre inflation pressure is low.
› The structure of the tyre is damaged.
› The vehicle is loaded on one side.
› The wheels of one axle are loaded more heavily (e.g. when towing a trailer or
when driving uphill or downhill).
› Snow chains are mounted.
› The spare wheel is mounted.
› One wheel per axle was changed.WARNING■
When the warning light  in the instrument cluster lights up, immediate-
ly reduce the speed and avoid sudden steering and brake manoeuvres.
Stop the vehicle as soon as possible and inspect the tyres and their infla-
tion pressure.■
Under certain circumstances (e.g. sporty style of driving, wintry or un-
paved roads) the warning light 
in the instrument cluster can be delayed
or does not light up at all.
CAUTION
■ The system cannot warn in case of very rapid tyre inflation pressure loss, e.g.
in case of sudden tyre damage. In this case carefully bring the vehicle to a
standstill without sudden steering movements or sharp braking.■
To ensure a proper functioning of the tyre control display, it is necessary to
repeat the basic setting every 10000 km or once a year.
■
The tyre pressure monitor does not replace the need to check tyre pressure
regularly.
