The driver is responsible for correct
adjustment of tyre pressure.9 Warning
If the pressure is too low, this can
result in considerable tyre warm-
up and internal damage, leading to tread separation and even to tyre
blow-out at high speeds.
Rear-wheel drive, with twin rear
wheels When inflating the outer tyre, the
inflation tube should be passed
between the two wheels.
Tyre pressure monitoring
system
The Tyre Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS) uses radio and
sensor technology to check tyre
pressure levels.
Caution
Tyre pressure monitoring system
warns only about low tyre pressure condition and does not replace
regular tyre maintenance by the
driver.
All wheels must be equipped with pressure sensors and the tyres must
have the prescribed pressure.
Notice
In countries where the tyre pressure
monitoring system is legally
required, the use of wheels without
pressure sensors will invalidate the
vehicle type approval.
The TPMS sensors monitor the air
pressure in the tyres and transmit tyre pressure readings to a receiver
located in the vehicle.
Each tyre, including the spare, should
be checked monthly when cold and
inflated to the inflation pressure
recommended on the tyre pressure
label.
Tyre pressures in display
The current tyre pressures can be
shown in the Driver Information
Centre 3 84.
With the vehicle stationary, press
button on end of wiper lever
repeatedly until the tyre pressure
menu is displayed.

158Vehicle care
Low tyre pressure condition
A detected low tyre pressure
condition is indicated by illumination
of control indicator w 3 82 and a
corresponding message appears in
the Driver Information Centre.
If w illuminates, stop as soon as
possible and inflate the tyres as
recommended 3 198.
After inflating, driving may be
required to update the tyre pressure
values in the Driver Information
Centre. During this time w may
illuminate.
If w illuminates at lower temperatures
and extinguishes after some driving,
this could be an indicator for getting low pressure. Check tyre pressure.
If the tyre pressure must be reduced
or increased, switch off ignition.
Only mount wheels with pressure
sensors, otherwise the tyre pressure
will not be displayed and w flashes for
several seconds then illuminates continuously together with control
indicator A 3 80 and a
corresponding message appears in
the Driver Information Centre.
A spare wheel or temporary spare
wheel is not equipped with pressure
sensors. TPMS is not operational for these wheels. For the further three
wheels, TPMS remains operational.
Control indicator w and the
corresponding message appears at
each ignition cycle until the tyres are
inflated to the correct tyre pressure.
Driver Information Centre 3 84.
Vehicle messages 3 85.Puncture
A puncture or severely under-inflated
tyre is indicated by illumination of
control indicator w together with C
3 80 and a corresponding message
appears in the Driver Information
Centre.
Tyre pressure 3 198, Tyre repair kit
3 161, Spare wheel 3 166, Wheel
changing 3 164.
Temperature dependency Tyre pressure depends on the
temperature of the tyre. During
driving, tyre temperature and
pressure increase. Therefore it is important to check tyre pressure with
cold tyres.

Vehicle care159
Relearn function
After changing the wheels, TPMS
needs to recalculate.
With the vehicle stationary, select the tyre pressure menu in the Driver
Information Centre by pressing button
on end of wiper lever. Press and hold button for approx. 3 seconds to
initialise recalculation. A
corresponding message appears in
the Driver Information Centre.
Several minutes of driving may be
required to complete the relearn
process.
If problems occur during the relearn
process, a warning message is
displayed in the Driver Information
Centre.
Driver Information Centre 3 84.
Vehicle messages 3 85.
General information The use of commercially available
liquid tyre repair kits can impair the
function of the system. Factory-
approved tyre repair kits can be used.
Tyre repair kit 3 161.
External high-power radio equipment
could disrupt the TPMS.
Each time the tyres are replaced,
TPMS sensors must be dismounted
and serviced by a workshop.
Fault The TPMS will not function properly if
one or more of the sensors are
missing or inoperable. When the
system detects a malfunction, w
flashes for several seconds and then
illuminates. Additionally a
corresponding message appears in
the Driver Information Centre.Control indicator w and the
corresponding message appear at
each ignition cycle until the problem
is corrected.
Some of the conditions that can
cause these to appear are:
■ One of the tyres has been replaced
with the spare tyre which does not
have a TPMS sensor.
■ The TPMS sensor relearn process was not completed successfully.
Control indicator w and the
corresponding message should
extinguish after successfully
completing the sensor relearn
process.
■ One or more TPMS sensors are missing or damaged. Control
indicator w and the corresponding
message should extinguish when the TPMS sensors are installed and
the sensor relearn process is
performed successfully. Consult a
workshop for service.
■ Replacement tyres or wheels do not match the original equipment
tyres or wheels. Tyres and wheels

Vehicle care173
Paintwork damageRectify minor paintwork damage witha touch-up pen before rust forms.
Have more extensive damage or rust areas repaired by a workshop.
Underbody Some areas of the vehicle underbody
have a PVC undercoating while other
critical areas have a durable
protective wax coating.
After the underbody is washed, check the underbody and have it waxed if
necessary.
Bitumen/rubber materials could
damage the PVC coating. Have
underbody work carried out by a
workshop.
Before and after winter, wash the
underbody and have the protective
wax coating checked.
Towing equipment
Do not clean the coupling ball bar with
a steam-jet or high-pressure jet
cleaner.Interior care
Interior and upholsteryOnly clean the vehicle interior,
including the instrument panel fascia
and panelling, with a dry cloth or
interior cleaner.
Clean leather upholstery with clear
water and a soft cloth. In case of
heavy soiling, use leather care.
The instrument cluster and the
displays should only be cleaned using
a soft damp cloth. If necessary use a
weak soap solution.
Clean fabric upholstery with a
vacuum cleaner and brush. Remove
stains with an upholstery cleaner.
Clothing fabrics may not be
colourfast. This could cause visible
discolourations, especially on light- coloured upholstery. Removable
stains and discolourations should be
cleaned as soon as possible.
Clean seat belts with lukewarm water or interior cleaner.Caution
Close Velcro fasteners as open
Velcro fasteners on clothing could damage seat upholstery.
The same applies to clothing with
sharp-edged objects, like zips or
belts or studded jeans.
Plastic and rubber parts
Plastic and rubber parts can be
cleaned with the same cleaner as
used to clean the body. Use interior cleaner if necessary. Do not use any
other agent. Avoid solvents and petrol in particular. Do not use high-
pressure jet cleaners.
