The system checks the tire pressure of the tires
ins talled on theve hicle bymeans of a tire pres‐
sure sensor.
New tire pressure sensor, e.g. in winter tires, are
automatically taught-in thefirs t time they are
driven.
The tire pressure appears in the multifunction
display (
→page 202).
If th ere is a subs tantial pressure loss or if the
tire temp erature is excessive, a warning will be
given:
RVi a display messages (→page 409).

suitable forth e operating situation. Set the tire
pressure for cold tires using a tire pressure
ga uge. Notethat the cor rect tire pressure forth e
cur rent operating situation must firs t be taught-
