TPMS Sensor Matching
Process
Each TPMS sensor has a unique
identification code. The identification
code must be matched to a new tyre/ wheel position after rotating the
tyres or exchanging the complete
wheel set and if one or more TPMS
sensors were replaced. The TPMS
sensor matching process should
also be performed after replacing a
spare tyre with a road tyre
containing the TPMS sensor.
The malfunction light and the
warning message or code should go
off at the next ignition cycle. The
sensors are matched to the tyre/
wheel positions, using a TPMS
relearn tool, in the following order :
Left side front tyre, right side front
tyre, right side rear tyre and left side
rear tyre. The turn light at the
current active position is illuminated
until sensor is matched.
Consult your workshop for service
or to purchase a relearn tool. You
have two minutes to match the first
tyre/ wheel position, and
five minutes overall to match all four
tyre/wheel positions. If it takes
longer, the matching process stops
and must be restarted.
The TPMS sensor matching process
is outlined below:
1. Apply the parking brake.
2. Turn the ignition on.
3. Move selector lever to neutral.
4. Use MENUon the indicator
lever to select the Vehicle
Information Men u in the
Driver Information
Centre (DIC).
5. Turn the adjuster wheel to scroll to the tyre
pressure menu.
6. Press SET/CLR to begin the
sensor matching process.
A message requesting
acceptance of the process
should display.
7. Press SET/CLR again to
confirm the selection. The horn
sounds twice to signal the
receiver is in relearn mode.
8. Start with the left side front tyre.
9. Place the relearn tool against the tyre sidewall, near the
valve stem. Then press the

.Apply the parking brake, manual
gearbox in neutral, automatic
transmission in P.
. Open the positive terminal
protection caps of both vehicle
batteries.
Lead connection order :
1. Connect the red lead to the positive terminal of the booster
battery.
2. Connect the other end of the red lead to the positive terminal
of the discharged battery. 3. Connect the black lead to the
negative terminal of the
booster battery.
4. Connect the other end of the black lead to a vehicle
grounding point, such as the
engine block or an engine
mounting bolt. Connect as far
away from the discharged
battery as possible, however at
least 60 cm(24 inches).
Route the leads so that they cannot
catch on rotating parts in the engine
compartment.
To start the engine : 1. Start the engine of the vehicle providing the jump.
2. After 5 minutes, start the other engine. Start attempts should
be made for no longer than
15 seconds at an interval of
1 minute.
3. Allow both engines to idle for approx. 3 minutes with the
leads connected. 4. Switch on electrical consumers
(e.g. headlights, heated rear
window) of the vehicle
receiving the jump start.
5. Reverse above sequence exactly when removing leads.

an emergency, your vehicle may be
temporarily towed by a rope secured
to the emergency towing eye.

screwdriver and remove the cap.
The towing eye is stowed with the
vehicle tools.
SeeTools 0173.
Screw in the towing eye as far as it
will go until it stops in a horizontal
position. (Should be contact with
tow nut.)
Attach a tow rope or better still a
tow rod to the towing eye.
The towing eye must only be used
for towing and not for recovering the
vehicle.

considerably more force is needed
to brake and steer.
To prevent the entry of exhaust
fumes from the towing vehicle,
switch on the air recirculation and
close the windows.
The vehicle must be towed facing
forward, not faster than 88 km/h. In
all other cases and when the
transmission is defective, the front
axle must be raised off the ground.
Seek the assistance of a workshop.
