Tyre pressure monitor

General notes

If a tyre pressure monitor system is fitted, the

vehicle's wheels have sensors fitted that

monitor the tyre pressures in all four tyres.

The tyre pressure monitor warns you if the

pressure drops in one or more of the tyres.

The tyre pressure monitor only functions if

the corresponding sensors are fitted to all

wheels.

Information on tyre pressures is shown in the

multifunction display. After a few minutes of

driving, the current tyre pressure of each tyre

is shown in the Service menu of the multi-

function display.

Example: current tyre pressure display

For further information on displaying this

message, refer to the "Checking the tyre pres-

sure electronically" section (Y page 354).

Important safety notes

It is the driver's responsibility to set the tyre

pressure to the recommended cold tyre pres-

sure suitable for the operating situation

(Y page 350). Note that the correct tyre pres-

sure for the current operating situation must

first be taught-in to the tyre pressure monitor.

If there is a substantial loss of pressure, the

warning threshold for the warning message is

aligned to the reference values taught-in.

Restart the tyre pressure monitor after

adjusting to the cold tyre pressure

(Y page 355). The current pressures are

saved as new reference values. This will

ensure that a warning message will only

appear if the tyre pressure drops significantly.

The tyre pressure monitor does not warn you

of an incorrectly set tyre pressure. Observe

the notes on the recommended tyre pressure

(Y page 350).

The tyre pressure monitor is not able to warn

you of a sudden loss of pressure, e.g. if the

tyre is penetrated by a foreign object. In the

event of a sudden loss of pressure, bring the

vehicle to a halt by braking carefully. Avoid

sudden steering movements.

The tyre pressure monitor has a yellow warn-

ing lamp in the instrument cluster for indicat-

ing a pressure loss or malfunction. Depending

on how the warning lamp flashes or lights up,

a tyre pressure that is too low or a malfunc-

tion in the tyre pressure monitor is indicated:

R

if the warning lamp is lit continuously, the

tyre pressure on one or more tyres is sig-

nificantly too low. The tyre pressure moni-

tor is not malfunctioning.

R

if the warning lamp flashes for around a

minute and then remains lit constantly, the

tyre pressure monitor is malfunctioning.

i

In addition to the warning lamp, a mes-

sage appears in the multifunction display.
