Vehicle care191illuminates. For the further three
tyres, the system remains
operational.
The use of commercially-available
liquid tyre repair kits can impair the
function of the system. Factory-
approved repair kits can be used.
Operating electronic devices or being
close to facilities using similar wave
frequencies could disrupt the tyre
pressure monitoring system.
Each time the tyres are replaced, tyre pressure monitoring system sensors
must be dismounted and serviced.
For the screwed sensor; replace
valve core and sealing ring. For the
clipped sensor; replace complete
valve stem.
Vehicle loading status Adjust tyre pressure to load condition
according to the tyre information label or tyre pressure chart 3 227, and
select the appropriate setting in the
menu Tyre Load in the Driver
Information Centre, Vehicle
Information Menu 3 92 . This setting is
the reference for the tyre pressure
warnings.The Tyre Load menu only appears if
the vehicle is at a standstill and the
parking brake is applied. On vehicles
with automatic transmission the
selector lever has to be in P.
Select:
● Light for comfort pressure up to
3 people.
● Eco for Eco pressure up to
3 people.
● Max for full loading.
Tyre pressure sensor matching
process
Each pressure sensor has a unique
identification code. The identification
code must be matched to a new tyre /
wheel position after rotating the tyres
or exchanging the complete wheel set and if one or more pressure sensors
were replaced. The pressure sensor
matching process should also be
performed after replacing a spare tyre
with a road tyre containing the
pressure sensor.
The malfunction light w and the
warning message or code should go
off at the next ignition cycle. The
sensors are matched to the wheel
positions, using a relearn tool, in the following order: left side front wheel,
right side front wheel, right side rear
wheel and left side rear wheel. The
turn light at the current active position
is illuminated until sensor is matched.
Consult a workshop for service. There are 2 minutes to match the first wheelposition, and 5 minutes overall to
match all four wheel positions. If it
takes longer, the matching process
stops and must be restarted.
192Vehicle careThe tyre pressure sensor matchingprocess is:
1. Apply the parking brake.
2. Turn the ignition on.
3. On vehicles with manual transmission automated: Press
and hold brake pedal. Move and
hold the selector lever for
5 minutes in position N until P is
displayed in the Driver
Information Centre. P indicates
that the sensor matching process
can be started.
On vehicles with manual
transmission: select neutral.
4. Use MENU on the stalk to select
the Vehicle Information Menu in
the Driver Information Centre.
5. Turn the adjuster wheel to scroll to
the tyre pressure menu.
6. Press SET/CLR to begin the
sensor matching process. A
message requesting acceptance
of the process should be
displayed.7. Press SET/CLR again to confirm
the selection. The horn sounds
twice to indicate that the receiver
is in relearn mode.
8. Start with the left side front wheel.
9. Place the relearn tool against the tyre sidewall, near the valve stem.Then press the button to activate
the tyre pressure sensor. A horn
chirp confirms that the sensor
identification code has been
matched to this wheel position.
10. Proceed to the right side front wheel, and repeat the procedure
in Step 9.
11. Proceed to the right side rear wheel, and repeat the procedure
in Step 9.
12. Proceed to the left side rear wheel, and repeat the procedure
in Step 9. The horn sounds twice
to indicate that the sensor
identification code has been
matched to the left side rear
wheel, and the tyre pressure
sensor matching process is no
longer active.
13. Turn off the ignition.14. Set all four tyres to the recommended air pressure level
as indicated on the tyre
information label.
15. Ensure the tyre loading status is set according to the selected
pressure 3 92.
Tread depth
Check tread depth at regular
intervals.
Tyres should be replaced for safety
reasons at a tread depth of 2-3 mm
(4 mm for winter tyres).
For safety reasons it is recommended
that the tread depth of the tyres on
one axle should not vary by more than 2 mm.
194Vehicle careTyre chains
Tyre chains are only permitted on the
front wheels.
Always use fine mesh chains that add no more than 10 mm to the tyre tread
and the inboard sides (including chain lock).
9 Warning
Damage may lead to tyre blowout.
Tyre chains are only permitted on
tyres of size 175/70 R 14,
185/70 R 14, 185/60 R 15,
185/65 R 15 and 195/55 R 16.
Tyre chains are not permitted on tyres of size 215/45 R 17 and 225/35 R 18 .
The use of tyre chains is not permitted
on the temporary spare wheel.
Tyre repair kit
Minor damage to the tyre tread can be repaired with the tyre repair kit.
Do not remove foreign bodies from
the tyres.
Tyre damage exceeding 4 mm or that
is at the tyre's sidewall cannot be
repaired with the tyre repair kit.9 Warning
Do not drive faster than 50 mph.
Do not use for a lengthy period.
Steering and handling may be
affected.
If you have a flat tyre:
Apply the parking brake and engage
first gear.
