The vehicle is moving at a speed other than that which is stored.
Note
■
If during control the speed is increased by pressing the accelerator, control is
temporarily stopped. Upon releasing the accelerator, control is automatically
resumed.■
If during control the speed is reduced by applying the brake, control is stop-
ped. Control needs to be restarted in order to resume » page 166.
■
If the vehicle is controlled by a lower speed than the stored speed, then 
the current speed is stored the first time the key is pressed. Press the key
again 

Tyre pressure monitoring
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:

183
The tyre pressure monitoring function (following known as system) monitors
the tyre pressure while driving.
When changing the tyre inflation pressure, the warning light illuminates 
in
the instrument cluster and an audible signal is heard.
Information on the procedure for the notification of change of tyre inflation
pressure » page 35 .
The system can only function properly if the tyres have the prescribed inflation
pressure and these pressure values are stored in the system.
WARNING■ Please take note of the general points relating to the use of assistance
systems » page 142, in section Introduction .■
Having the correct tyre inflation pressure is always the driver's responsi-
bility. Tyre pressure should be checked regularly » page 217.
■
The system cannot warn in case of very rapid tyre inflation pressure loss,
e.g. in case of sudden tyre damage.

In addition, follow the instructions that appear on the display.
A message in the display informs about the storage of the tyre pressure val- ues.
Always save the tyre pressure values in the system if one of the following
events occurs.
▶ Change of tyre pressure values.
▶ Change one or more wheels.
▶ Change in position of a wheel on the vehicle.
▶ The warning light in the instrument cluster.
WARNINGBefore storing the pressures, the tyres must be inflated to the specified in-
flation pressure » page 217. If the wrong pressure valuesare stored, the
system may not issue any warnings, even if the tyre pressure is too low.
CAUTION
Save the tyre pressure values every 10,000 km or 1x annually to ensure correct
system functioning.
Note
When a warning light in the instrument cluster appears, the affected tyre
can be displayed on the infotainment » Fig. 219.183Assist systems

206General Maintenance

Winter tyres
The handling of your vehicle will be significantly improved when driving on
wintry roads if you fit winter tyres (labelled M+S).
To obtain the best possible handling, winter tyres must be fitted to all four
wheels. The minimum tread depth must be 4 mm.
Fit the summer tyres on again in good time as they provide better handling
properties, a shorter braking distance, less tyre noise, and reduced tyre wear
on roads which are free of snow and ice as well as at temperatures above 7 °C.
Speed symbol
Winter tyres (marked with M+S and a peak/snowflake symbol
) of a lower
speed category can be used provided that the permissible maximum speed of
these tyres is not exceeded even if the possible maximum speed of the vehicle
is higher.
On vehicles with the infotainment system with key the speed limit can be
set for winter tyres » Owner´s Manual Infotainment , chapter CAR - Adjust ve-
hicle systems .
For other vehicles, there is the possibility to have the speed limit set for winter
tyres in a specialist workshop.
Snow chains
When driving in wintry road conditions, snow chains improve not only traction,
but also the braking performance.
Snow chains must only be mounted on the front wheels.
It is only permissible to fit snow chains with the following wheel/tyre combina-
tions.
Rim sizeImpression depth DTyre size6.5J x 1641 mm215/60 R166.5J x 1741 mm215/55 R17
Applies for 2.0 l/162, 206 kW TSI
Rim sizeImpression depth DTyre size6.5J x 1741 mm215/55 R17
Only fit snow chains with links and locks not larger than 12 mm.
Remove the full wheel trims before installing the snow chains » page 225.
CAUTIONThe chains must be removed when driving on snow-free paths. They would
otherwise cause loss of performance and damage the tyres.221Wheels

Read and observe
and on page 232 first.
On vehicles with a factory-fitted towing device, there is no mount for the
screw-in towing eye behind and below the cap.
Use the detachable ball rod for towing » page 184, Hitch .
Towing the vehicle using the tow bar device is a viable alternative solution to
using the towing eye.
CAUTION
The ball rod and/or the vehicle can be damaged if an unsuitable tow bar is
used.
