In addition to the warning lamp,amessage
appears in the multifunction display. Observe
the information on display messages
(
Ypage 196).
It may take up to ten minutes for amalfunction
of the tire pressure monitor to be indicated .A
malfunction wil lbeindicated by the tire pres-
sure warning lamp flashing for approximately
one minute and then remaining lit. When the
malfunction has been rectified, the tire pressure
warning lamp goes out after afew minutes of
driving.
The tire pressure values indicated by the on-
board computer may differ from those meas-
ured at agas station with apressure gauge. The
tire pressures shown by the on-board computer
refer to those measured at sea level.Ath igh
altitudes, the tire pressure values indicated by a
pressure gauge are higher than those shown by the on-board computer. In this case, do not
reduce the tire pressures.
The operation of the tire pressure monitor can
be affected by interference from radi otransmit-
ting equipment (e.g. radi oheadphones, two-way
radios) that may be being operated in or near the vehicle.
Checking the tire pressure electroni-
cally
XMake sure that the SmartKey is in position 2
in the ignition lock (Ypage 115).
XPress the =or; button on the steering
wheel to select the Serv.menu.
XPress the9or: button to select
Tire Pressure.
XPress the abutton.
The current tire pressure of each tire is shown
in the multifunction display.
If the vehicle has been parked for over
20 minutes, the Tire pressure will be
displayed after driving afew minutesmessag eappears.
After ateach-in process, the tire pressure mon-
itor automatically detects new wheelsorn ew
sensors. As long as aclear allocation of the tire
pressure valu etothe individual wheel sisnot
possible, the Tire
PressureMonitorActivedisplay messag eisshown instead of the tire
pressure display. The tire pressures are already
being monitored.
If an emergency spare wheel is mounted, the
system may continue to show the tire pressure of the wheel that has been removed for
afew
minutes. If this occurs, note that the valu edis-
played for the positionw here the spare wheel is
mounted is not the same as the current tire
pressure of the emergency spare wheel.
Tire pressure monitor warning mes-
sages
If the tire pressure monitor detects apressure
loss in one or more tires, awarning messag eis
shown in the multifunction display. The yellow
tire pressure warning lamp then lights up.
RIf the Please Correct Tire Pressuremessag eappears in the multifunction display,
the tire pressure in at least one tire is too low.
The tire pressure must be corrected when the
opportunity arises.
RIf the Check Tiresmessag eappears in the
multifunction display, the tire pressure in at
least one tire has droppeds ignificantly. The
tires must be checked.
RIf the WarningTireMalfunctionmessage
appears in the multifunction display, the tire
pressure in at least one tire has droppeds ud-
denly.T he tires must be checked.
Observe the instructions and safety notes in the
display messages in the "Tires" section
(
Ypage 196).
If the wheel positions on the vehicle are rotated,
the tire pressures may be displaye dfor the
wrong positions for ashort time. This is rectified
after afew minutes of driving, and the tire pres-
sures are displaye dfor the correct positions.
Restarting the tire pressure monitor
When you restart the tire pressure monitor, all
existing warning messages are deleted and the
warning lamp sgoout. The monitor uses the cur-
rently set tire pressures as the reference values for monitoring. In most cases, the tire pressure
monitor wil lautomatically detect the new refer-
ence values after you have changed the tire
pressure. However, you can also define refer-
ence values manually as describedh ere. The tire
pressure monitor then monitors the new tire
pressure values.
XSet the tire pressure to the valu erecommen-
ded for the corresponding driving situation on
the Tire and Loading Information placard on
the driver's side B-pillar(
Ypage 258).
