Tires
Display messagesPossible causes/consequences andMSolutions
Check Tire Pres‐
sure Soon
Canada only:
The tire pressure loss warning system has detected a significant
loss in pressure.
A warning tone also sounds.
Possible causes:
Ryou have changed the positions of the wheels and tires or instal-
led new wheels and tires.
Rthe tire pressure in one or more tires has dropped
GWARNING
Tire pressures that are too low pose the following hazards:
Rthey may burst, especially as the load and vehicle speed
increase.
Rthey may wear excessively and/or unevenly, which may greatly
impair tire traction.
Rthe driving characteristics, as well as steering and braking, may
be greatly impaired.
There is a risk of an accident.
XStop the vehicle without making any sudden steering or braking
maneuvers. Pay attention to the traffic conditions as you do so.
XSecure the vehicle against rolling away (Ypage 160).
XCheck the tires and, if necessary, follow the instructions for a
flat tire (
Ypage 291).
XCheck the tire pressures and, if necessary, correct the tire pres-
sure.
XRestart the tire pressure loss warning system when the tire
pressure is correct (
Ypage 315).
Check Tire Pres‐
sure Then Restart

Canada only:
The tire pressure loss warning system generated a display mes-
sage and has not been restarted since.
