When the malfunction indicator is illuminat
ed, the system may not be able to detect or
signal low t ire pressure as intended. TPMS
malfunctions may occur for a variety of rea
sons, including the installation of replace
ment or a lternate tires or wheels on the vehi
cle that prevent the TPMS from funct ioning
properly . Always check the TPMS malfunct ion
tellta le afte r replacing one or more t ires or
wheels on your veh icle to ensure that the re
p lacement or a lternate tires and wheels allow
the TPMS to continue to function properly.

Using the ABS sensors, the tire pressure moni
toring system compares the t ire tread circum
ference and vibration characteristics of the in
d iv idual tires . If the pressure decreases in one
or more tires, th is is indicated in the instru
ment cluster w ith a
IE warning symbol and a
message¢
fig. 181 . The driver message in the
display goes out after 5 seconds. The driver
message can be displayed again by pressing
the
! SE T! button. If on ly one tire is affected,
the display will indicate its pos it ion.
The tire pressure monitoring system must be reset via radio or MMI * each time the pres
sures are adjusted (e. g . when switching be
tween partia l and full load pressure) or after
changing or replacing a t ire on your vehicle
¢

tors the tire pressure that you have prev iously stored
. You can find the recommended tire
pressures for yo ur vehicle on the label on driv
er's side B-pillar ¢

Tire tread circumference and vibration charac
teristics can change and cause a tire pressure
warning if:
- the t ire p ress ure in one or more tires is too
low,
- the t ire has structural damage ,
- the t ire pressure was changed, wheels rotat-
ed or rep laced but the TPMS was not reset
