Restarting the tire pressure monitor
When you restart the tire pressure monitor,
all existing warning messages are deleted
and the warning lamps go out. The monitor
uses the currently set tire pressures as the
reference values for monitoring. In most
cases, the tire pressure monitor will auto-
matically detect the new reference values
after you have changed the tire pressure.
However, you can also define reference values
manually as described here. The tire pres-
sure monitor then monitors the new tire pres-
sure values.
XSet the tire pressure to the value recom-
mended for the corresponding driving sit-
uation on the Tire and Loading Information
placard on the B-pillar on the driver's side
(
Ypage 180).
Additional tire pressure values for dif-
ferent loads can also be found on the tire
pressure table on the inside of the fuel
filler flap (
Ypage 180).
XMake sure that the tire pressure is correct on all four wheels.
On-board computer with a color display
XTo restart the tire pressure monitor: press
the 0063 or0064 button on the steering
wheel to select the Settings
menu and
press 0076on the steering wheel to con-
firm.
XPress the 0063or0064 button to select the
TirePressureMonitorsubmenu and con-
firm with 0076.
The Tire Pressure Monitor Use Cur‐
rentPressuresAsNewReferenceVal‐ues?message appears in the display.
If you wish to confirm the restart:
XPress the 0063or0064 button to select yesand press the0076button to confirm.
The Tire Pressure Monitor Restarted
message appears in the display.
XPress 0076to confirm.
After a short while, the message is also
hidden without pressing the 0076button.
After driving for a few minutes, the system
checks whether the current tire pressures are within the specified range. The new
tire pressures are then accepted as refer-
ence values and monitored.
iIf the
Tire Pressure Monitor Restar‐tedmessage does not appear after approx-
imately 5 seconds, the restart was not suc-
cessful. If this occurs, repeat the restart.
If you wish to cancel the restart:
XPress the 0063or0064 button to select noand press the0076button to confirm.
The tire pressure values stored at the last
restart will continue to be monitored.

Loading the vehicle
Instruction labels for tires and loads
GWARNING
Overloaded tires can overheat, causing a
blowout. Overloaded tires can also impair
the steering and driving characteristics
and lead to brake failure. There is a risk of
accident.
Observe the load rating of the tires. The
load rating must be at least half of the GAWR
of your vehicle. Never overload the tires by exceeding the maximum load.
Two instruction labels on your vehicle show
the maximum possible load.
(1) The Tire and Loading Information plac- ard is on the B-pillar on the driver's
side. The Tire and Loading Information
placard shows the maximum permissible
number of occupants and the maximum
permissible vehicle load. It also con-
