Pressure The tire pressure is too low in at least one of the tires, or the tire
pressure difference between the wheels is too great.

X Restart the tire pressure monitor (Y page 265).Check Tires Check Tires The tire pressure in one or more tires has dropped significantly. The
wheel position appears in the multifunction display.
A warning tone also sounds.
G WARNING
Tire pressures that are too low pose the following hazards: R they may burst, especially as the load and vehicle speed increase
R they may wear excessively and/or unevenly, which may greatly
impair tire traction.
R the driving characteristics, as well as steering and braking, may be
greatly impaired
There is a risk of an accident.
X Stop the vehicle without making any sudden steering or braking
maneuvers. Pay attention to the traffic conditions as you do so.
X Secure the vehicle against rolling away (Y page 128).

G WARNING
Driving with a flat tire poses a risk of the following hazards: R a flat tire affects the ability to steer or brake the vehicle
R you could lose control of the vehicle
R continued driving with a flat tire will cause excessive heat build-up
and possibly a fire
