ured at a gas station with a pressure gauge.
The tire pressures shown by the on-board
computer refer to those measured at sea
level. At high altitudes, the tire pressure val-
ues indicated by a pressure gauge are higher
than those shown by the on-board computer. In this case, do not reduce the tire pressures.
The operation of the tire pressure monitor can
be affected by interference from radio trans-
mitting equipment (e.g. radio headphones,
two-way radios) that may be being operated
in or near the vehicle.

Checking the tire pressure electroni-cally
X Make sure that the SmartKey is in posi-
tion 2in the ignition lock ( Ypage 103).
X Press the =or; button on the steer-
ing wheel to select the
Serv.menu. X
Press the 9or: button to select
Tire Pressure.
X Press the abutton.
The current tire pressure of each tire is
shown in the multifunction display.
If the vehicle has been parked for over
20 minutes, the
Tire pressure will be
displayed after driving a few
minutesmessage appears.
After a teach-in process, the tire pressure
monitor automatically detects new wheels or
new sensors. As long as a clear allocation of
the tire pressure value to the individual
wheels is not possible, the
Tire Pressure
Monitor Activedisplay message is shown
instead of the tire pressure display. The tire
pressures are already being monitored.
iIf a spare wheel is mounted, the system
may continue to show the tire pressure of
the wheel that has been removed for a few minutes. Observe that the displayed value
is not the same as the current tire pressure
of the emergency spare wheel.
Tire pressure monitor warning mes-
sages
If the tire pressure monitor detects a signifi-
cant pressure loss on one or more tires, a
warning message is shown in the multifunc-
tion display. A warning tone also sounds and
the tire pressure warning lamp lights up in the
instrument cluster.
Each tire that is affected by a significant loss of pressure is highlighted in the pressure dis-
play.
X If the
Correct Tire Pressuremessage
appears in the multifunction display, check the tire pressure on all four wheels and cor-
rect it if necessary.
X If the
CheckTiresmessage appears in the
multifunction display, the tire pressure in
one or more tires has dropped significantly and the tires must be checked.
