placard or tire inflation pressure label, you should determine the proper tire inflation pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale when one or more of your tires is significantly underinflated. Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a significantly underinflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Underinflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle's handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver's responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if underinflation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when the system is not operating properly. The TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with the low tire pressure telltale. When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for approximately 1 minute and then remain continuously illuminated. This sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction exists.
When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not be able to detect or signal low tire pressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, including the installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS from functioning properly. Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one or more tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function properly.
Collapsible spare tire
The collapsible spare tire has no tire pressure sensor. When the collapsible spare tire is mounted on the vehicle, the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) indicator light will flash in the instrument cluster display. The TPMS continues to monitor the other 3 wheels.
Tire storage
If the tires do not move for an extended period of time, the sensors will not transmit tire pressures to the system. This saves sensor battery life. When the ignition is switched on, the sensors transmit signals to the Tire Pressure Monitoring System.
WARNING
Incorrect tire pressure can cause sudden tire failure, loss of vehicle control and serious personal injury.
x Incorrect tire pressure can cause sudden tire failure, loss of vehicle control and serious personal injury.
x After that, always make sure that all 4 tires are inflated to the correct tire pressure for the tires installed on the vehicle.
x See the tire pressure label ⇒ Tire inflation pressure and the Owner's Literature for recommended cold tire inflation pressure and other important information.
x When replacing tires or wheel rims on vehicles equipped with TPMS, always read and
heed all of the information and WARNINGS ⇒ Tire inflation pressure.
NOTICE
x The wheel electronics are attached to special aluminum valves on the wheels. These valves are screwed on rigidly. Never bend the valves “into position” when checking and adjusting tire pressure.

x Briefly press the  button on the multi-function steering wheel.
x Say the voice command in the language set in the Infotainment System.

Language: voice command
German: Hilfe Sprachbedienung
English: Voice operation help
French: Aide Système de commande vocale
Spanish: Ayuda Manejo por voz
Italian: Aiuto sistema di comando vocale
Portugese: Ajuda do comando por voz
Dutch: Help spraakbediening
Russian: Сijа\dа ih kиklеfе ]hehkh\h]h mijа\eеgия
x Follow the subsequent explanations and instructions in the voice dialog.
Control during voice dialog
While voice guidance is being provided by the Infotainment System, the microphone symbol “not active” (without the 3 lines) is shown on the instrument cluster display and on the Infotainment System screen.
x Briefly press the  button on the multi-function steering wheel to interrupt voice guidance from the Infotainment System and immediately say the next voice command.
You can only say a voice command when the  symbol “active” is displayed.
If a voice command is spoken incorrectly or incompletely and no action has been started as a result, the voice command can be repeated. The  symbol remains “active”.
x Briefly press the  button on the multi-function steering wheel to repeat the voice command.
Recording name tags
A name tag can be recorded as a voice command in some menus via the voice operation. Follow the instructions from the voice dialog. Avoid loud noises in the background when recording voice inputs.
Some voice commands are only available if the unit is in the right operating area.
Display of the help menus for the individual operating areas can be disabled
If a voice command has been misunderstood several times, it may be sensible to terminate voice operation manually by pressing the  button longer and to then start again.
Notes on voice operation

Start whole tour : Will start the entire waypoint tour. In the menu that follows you will have to select how the start point of the waypoint tour should be reached.
On road : The start point for the route guidance will be reached using public roads as far as possible.
Off-road : The start point for route guidance will be reached in off-road mode and any available roads will not be used.
When route guidance starts, the system will switch to the map view.
An audible signal is given when the starting point of the waypoint tour has been reached.
During route guidance
Characteristics of the terrain are ignored during route guidance. A driving recommendation will be given about 55 yards (50 meters) before reaching a turning point. You should therefore drive slowly and follow recommendations for turning as far as possible!
Changes in the direction of travel will be given in relation to the current direction of travel, such as “Please travel in direction 9 o'clock!”.
The tendency of the direction of travel will be shown in the instrument cluster display using arrows.
Stopping route guidance
x Press the Infotainment button NAV in the map display to open the Waypoint navigation menu.
x Press the Stop function key.

Advanced navigation settings: Demo mode and manual location
x In the Advanced navigation settings menu, check the check box in the Demo mode function key by pressing it = to start virtual route guidance to the entered destination.
x Press the Enter current position manually function key to select a manual location in the same way you entered a destination
If demo mode is enabled, an additional pop-up window opens when you start route guidance.
x Pressing the Demo mode function key starts a “virtual route guidance” to the destination you have entered.
x If you press the Normal mode function key, a “real route guidance” starts.
The sequence of events and the operations in virtual route guidance are similar to those in real route guidance. Once a manual location has been entered, the virtual route guidance starts from that position.
Virtual route guidance is repeated when you reach the fictitious destination and always starts again from the starting point if it is interrupted.
