Tyre Pressure Monitor TPM
Principle The system monitors the tyre pressure in the
four fitted tyres. The system warns if the infla‐
tion pressure in one or more tyres has fallen
considerably. To do this, the sensors in the
tyre valves measure the tyre pressure and tyre
temperatures.
Note
To operate the system, also follow the other
information and notes under tyre inflation pres‐
sure, see page 175.
Operating requirements For the system, a reset must have been made
with the correct tyre inflation pressure, other‐
wise reliable signalling of a flat tyre cannot be assured.
Reset the system after adjusting the tyre pres‐
sure to a new value and after a tyre or wheel
change.
Always use wheels with TPM electronics to
guarantee the system functions without errors.
Status display
The current status of the Tyre Pressure Moni‐
tor TPM can be shown on the Control Display,
for example whether the TPM is active.

cepted as target values. The reset is run auto‐
matically while the vehicle is in motion.
After a successfully concluded reset, the
wheels are shown in green on the Control Dis‐
play and "Tyre Pressure Monitor (RDC)
active." is shown.
You can interrupt your drive at any time. Reset
resumes automatically when you continue
your journey.
Message if tyre inflation pressure is
low
The yellow warning lamp is illuminated.
A Check Control message is shown.▷There is a flat tyre or substantial
loss of tyre pressure.▷No reset has been done to the system.
Consequently, the system warns of the
tyre pressures of the last reset.1.Reduce your speed and carefully stop the
vehicle. Avoid violent or sudden braking
and steering manoeuvres.2.Determine which wheel is damaged. Do
this by checking the tyre inflation pres‐
sures with the aid of the Mobility System.
Correcting the tyre inflation pressure3.Remedy the flat tyre with the Mobility Sys‐
tem or replace the damaged wheel.
When there is a message that the tyre inflation
pressure is low, the Dynamic Stability Control
DSC may be switched on.
Message with required tyre inflation
pressure test
In such situations, a check control message is
displayed:
▷System has detected a wheel change, but
no reset has been run.▷Filling was not performed according to the
regulations.▷The tyre inflation pressure has dropped
compared to the last confirmation.If that is the case:▷Check the tyre pressure and adjust as nec‐
essary.▷Reset the system after a wheel change.
System limits
The system is not working correctly if no reset
has been run, for example, a flat tyre is repor‐
ted in spite of the correct tyre inflation pres‐
sure.
Tyre inflation pressure depends on the tem‐
perature of the tyre. By increasing tyre temper‐
ature, for example, when driving or with solar
radiation, the tyre inflation pressure increases.
Tyre inflation pressure decreases if the tyre
temperature drops. Through this behaviour, a
warning may be triggered if there are major
temperature drops, due to the given warning
limits.
No warning can be given by the system of ex‐
treme, sudden tyre failure caused by external
factors.
Malfunction The yellow warning lamp flashes and is
then illuminated continuously. A Check
Control message is shown. No flat
tyres or loss of tyre pressure can be detected.
This may indicate one of the following:
▷Wheel without TPM electronics is fitted:
have the vehicle checked by a Service
Partner or a qualified specialist workshop if
necessary.▷Malfunction: have the system checked by a
Service Partner or a qualified specialist
workshop.▷TPM has not completed a reset. Run a re‐
set of the system again.▷Fault due to systems or devices with the
same frequency: the system is automati‐
cally reactivated upon leaving the field of
interference.Seite 108ControlsSecurity108

Runflat indicator RPA
Principle The system identifies a loss of tyre pressure
by comparing the speeds of rotation of the in‐
dividual wheels while the vehicle is in motion.
If a tyre loses pressure, its diameter changes.
This in turn alters the rotational speed of the
corresponding wheel. This is detected and re‐
ported as a flat tyre.
The system does not measure the tyre pres‐
sures as such.
Operating requirements
The system must have been initialised with
correct tyre inflation pressure, otherwise relia‐
ble signalling of a flat tyre cannot be assured.
Each time the tyre pressure is adjusted or a
tyre or wheel is changed, initialise the system
again.
Status display The current status of the runflat indicator can
be shown on the Control Display, for example
whether the runflat indicator is active.
On the Control Display:1."Vehicle information"2."Vehicle status"3. "Flat Tyre Monitor (RPA)"
The status is displayed.
Initialising
On initialisation, the current tyre pressures are
stored as a reference for detection of a flat tyre. The initialisation is started by confirming
the correct tyre inflation pressures.
When driving with snow chains fitted, do not
initialise the system.
On the Control Display:
1."Vehicle information"2."Vehicle status"3. "Perform reset"4.Start the engine – do not drive off.5.Start the initialisation with "Perform reset".6.Drive off.
Initialising is completed while the vehicle is in
motion; this process can be interrupted at any
time.
Initialising resumes automatically when you
continue your journey.
Message of a flat tyre The yellow warning lamp is illuminated.
A Check Control message is shown.
There is a flat tyre or substantial loss of
tyre pressure.
1.Reduce your speed and carefully stop the
vehicle. Avoid violent or sudden braking
and steering manoeuvres.2.Determine which wheel is damaged. Do
this by checking the tyre inflation pres‐
sures with the aid of the Mobility System. If
all tyres are inflated to the correct pres‐
sures, the runflat indicator might not have
been initialised. In this case initialise the
system.3.Remedy the flat tyre with the Mobility Sys‐
tem or replace the damaged wheel.
System limits
A natural, even loss of tyre pressurein all four
tyres that occurs over time is not detected.
Consequently, check the tyre inflation pres‐
sure at regular intervals.
No warning can be given in the event of sud‐
den tyre failure caused by external factors.
In the following situations, the system could be
slow to respond or operate incorrectly:
▷If the system has not been initialised.▷Journey on snow-covered or slippery sur‐
faces.Seite 109SecurityControls109

Manual speed limiterPrinciple With the system, the speed can be restricted
from a value of 30 km/h/20 mph. There are no
restrictions below the set speed limit.
Exceeding the speed limit In particular situations the speed limit can be
deliberately exceeded by accelerating strongly.
The system gives a warning if the travelling
speed exceeds the set speed limit.
No brake intervention
If the set speed limit has been reached or unin‐
tentionally exceeded (for example driving
downhill) there is no brake intervention.
If you set a speed limit during the journey
which is below the current speed, the vehicle
rolls until the driving speed drops below the
speed limit.

Attentiveness assistant
Principle The system can detect increasing inattentive‐
ness or tiring of the driver on long monotonous
drives, for example on motorways. In this situa‐
tion, it is recommended that you take a break.
Note WARNING
The system does not take your personal
responsibility from you when you are estimat‐
ing your physical condition. Increasing inatten‐
tion or fatigue might not be detected, or not in
good time. Danger of accidents. Make sure
that the drive is rested and alert. Adapt driving
style to the driving conditions.◀
Function The system is switched on every time the en‐
gine is started and cannot be switched off.
After the start of the drive, the system is adap‐
ted to the driver so that an increase in inatten‐
tion or fatigue can be detected.
This process considers the following criteria:▷Personal driving style, for example, steer‐
ing.▷Drive conditions, for example, time of day,
duration of drive.
The system is active from approxi‐
mately. 70 km/h, 43 mph and can display a rec‐
ommendation to take a break
Recommendation to take a break
With increasing inattention or tiredness of the
driver, an instruction is shown on the control
display with the recommendation to take a
break.
A recommendation to take a break will only be
displayed once during an uninterrupted trip.
After a break, at the earliest another break rec‐
ommendation may be displayed after approxi‐
mately 45 minutes.
System limits
The function may be restricted in situations
such as the following and no warning or a
wrong one is triggered:▷If the time is wrongly set.▷If the speed driven falls considerably below
70 km/h, 43 mph.▷For sporty driving style, for example, with
heavy acceleration or fast cornering.▷In active drive situations, for example, fre‐
quent lane change.▷With bad road conditions.▷With high side-wind.
PreCrash
Principle With the system from 30 km/h/20 mph critical
driving situations may occur, which could
cause an accident. In these situations, auto‐
matically preventative, protective measures
are taken to minimise the risk of accident.
Critical driving situations are, for example:
▷Full braking.▷Heavy understeering.▷Heavy oversteering.
When collision warning or front-end collision
warning with braking function is fitted, within
the limits of the system, threatened collisions
into vehicles in front or stationary vehicles are
detected.
Note WARNING
The system does not take your personal
responsibility from you. Critical situations can‐
not be detected reliably or in good time due to
limitations of the system. Danger of accidents.
Adapt driving style to the driving conditions.
Observe the traffic situation and intervene ac‐
tively if the situation warrants it.◀

Dynamic Stability Control,
DSC
Principle DSC prevents the driven wheels losing traction
when you pull away from rest or accelerate.
DSC is also able to detect unstable driving
conditions such as loss of traction at the rear
or vehicle slip over the front wheels. DSC re‐
duces engine output and applies the brakes at
individual wheels, helping, within the limits im‐
posed by the laws of physics, to keep the vehi‐
cle safely on course.
Note Adapt the driving style to the situation as it is
always the driver's responsibility to adapt a
suitable driving style.
Not even DSC can overcome the laws of phys‐
ics.
Do not limit the additional safety afforded by
this system by taking driving risks.
