Snow
chains
Fine-link
snow
chains
The manufacturer of your vehicle recommends
use of fine-link snow chains. Certain types of fine-link snow chains have been tested by the
manufacturer of the vehicle and recommended as road-safe and suitable.

Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 976 346 - X/16

Information regarding suitable snow chains isavailable from a dealerss service center or anj
other qualified service center or repair shop.
Use WARNING
With the mounting of snow chains on unj
suitable tires, the snow chains can come into
contact with vehicle parts. There is a risk of acj
cidents or risk of property damage. Only mount
snow chains on tires that are designated by
their manufacturer as suitable for the use of
snow chains.'

General
information
Sensors in the tire valves measure the tire inj
flation pressure and tire temperature.
Using the tire settings in iDrive, the system can automatically display the specified target presj
sures and compare them with the actual tire inj
flation pressures.
If tires are being used that are not specified on
the tire inflation pressure details on the vehicle, refer to page 260, such as tires with special
approval, the system needs to be actively rej
set. The system will then take over the actual
tire inflation pressures as the target pressures.
When operating the system, also note the adj
ditional information found in the Tire inflation
pressure, refer to page 260, chapter.
Safety
information WARNING
The display of the target pressures is not
a substitute for the tire inflation pressure dej
tails on the vehicle. Incorrect entries in the tire
settings can lead to incorrect target tire inflaj
tion pressure values. In this case, it cannot be ensured that the notification of a tire inflation
pressure loss is reliable. There is a risk of injury
and risk of damage to property. Ensure that the
tire sizes of the mounted tires are entered corj
rectly and match the details on the tires and on
the vehicle.'

The current tire inflation pressures may
change during driving operation or depending
on the external temperature.
Target
pressure
The target pressure for the tires on the front
and rear axles is displayed.
The target pressures are values stored in the vehicle.
The specified target pressures take the influj
ence of driving operation and external temperj
ature on the tire temperature into account. The
appropriate target pressure is always disj
played, independent of the weather situation,
tire temperatures and driving times.
The displayed target pressure may change and may differ from the tire inflation pressure dej
tails on the door pillar of the driver's door. The
tire inflation pressure can thus be corrected to
the value of the displayed target pressures.
The target pressure is immediately adjusted if
the vehicle load is changed in the tire settings.

WARNING
A damaged regular tire with low or missj
ing tire inflation pressure impacts handling, such as steering and braking response. Run-
flat tires can maintain limited stability. There is
a risk of an accident. Do not continue driving if the vehicle is equipped with normal tires. Folj

Possible
driving
range
with
a
depressurized
tire
The possible driving range varies depending on the how the vehicle is loaded and used, e.g.,
speed, road conditions, external temperature.
The driving range may be less but may also be
more if an economical driving style is used.
If the vehicle is loaded with an average weight and used under favorable conditions, its possij
ble driving range will be up to 50 miles/80 km.
Vehicle
handling
with
damaged
tires
Vehicles driven with a damaged tire will handle
differently, potentially leading to conditions such as the following:
'yGreater likelihood of swerving off course'yLonger braking distances'yChanged self-steering properties
Adjust driving style. Avoid abrupt steering maj
neuvers or driving over obstacles, for instance curbs, potholes, etc.
System
limits
Temperature The tire inflation pressure depends on the
tire's temperature.
Driving or exposure to the sun will increase the tire's temperature, thus increasing the tire injflation pressure.
The tire inflation pressure is reduced when the
tire temperature falls again.
These circumstances may cause a warning
when temperatures fall very sharply.
Following a temperature-related warning, the
target pressures are displayed on the Control
Display again after a short distance.
Sudden
tire
pressure
loss
The system cannot indicate sudden serious
tire damage caused by external circumstances.
Failure
to
perform
a
reset Tires with special approval: the system will notfunction correctly if a reset was not performed,
for example a flat tire may be indicated alj
though the tire inflation pressures are correct.
Malfunction The yellow warning light flashes and is
then illuminated continuously. A Check
Control message is displayed. It may
not be possible to identify tire pressure losses.
In these cases:'yA wheel without TPM electronics, such as
an emergency wheel, is mounted: have the wheels checked, if needed.'yMalfunction: have the system checked.'yInterference caused by systems or devices
with the same radio frequency: after leavj
ing the area of the interference, the system automatically becomes active again.'yFor tires with special approval: the system
was unable to complete the reset. Reset the system again.

Tire
Pressure
Monitoring
System
Each tire, including the spare (if provided)should be checked monthly when cold and injflated to the inflation pressure recommendedby the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicleplacard or tire inflation pressure label. (If your
vehicle has tires of a different size than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation
pressure label, you should determine the
proper tire inflation pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire pressure monitoring
system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire presj
Seite 278MobilityWheels
and
tires278
Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 976 346 - X/16

sure telltale when one or more of your tires issignificantly under-inflated. Accordingly, when
the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you should stop and check your tires as soon aspossible, and inflate them to the proper presj
sure. Driving on a significantly under-inflated
tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to
tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efj ficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the
vehicle's handling and stopping ability. Please
note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver's
responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure,
even if under-inflation has not reached the
level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low
tire pressure telltale. Your vehicle has also
been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indij
cator to indicate when the system is not operj
ating properly. The TPMS malfunction indicaj
tor is combined with the low tire pressure
telltale. When the system detects a malfuncj
tion, the telltale will flash for approximately one
minute and then remain continuously illumij
nated. This sequence will continue upon subj
sequent vehicle start-ups as long as the malj
function exists. When the malfunction indicator
is illuminated, the system may not be able to
detect or signal low tire pressure as intended.
TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of
reasons, including the installation of replacej
ment or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle
that prevent the TPMS from functioning propj
erly. Always check the TPMS malfunction tellj
tale after replacing one or more tires or wheels
on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement
or alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS
to continue to function properly.
FTM
Flat
Tire
Monitor Concept
The system detects tire inflation pressure loss on the basis of rotation speed differences bej tween the individual wheels while driving.In the event of a tire inflation pressure loss, the
diameter and therefore the rotational speed of the corresponding wheel changes. This will be
detected and reported as a flat tire.
The system does not measure the actual inflajtion pressure in the tires.
Functional
requirements The system must have been initialized when
the tire inflation pressure was correct; otherj wise, reliable flagging of a flat tire is not asjsured. Reinitialize the system after each adj
justment of the tire inflation pressure and after every tire or wheel change.
Status
display
The current status of the flat tire monitor can
be displayed, e.g., whether the RPA is active.
Via iDrive:1."My Vehicle"2."Vehicle status"3. "Flat Tire Monitor"
The status is displayed.
Initialization
When initializing, the set tire inflation presj
sures serve as reference values in order to dej
tect a flat tire. Initialization is started by conj
firming the tire inflation pressures.
Do not initialize the system when driving with
snow chains.
Using iDrive:
1."My Vehicle"2."Vehicle status"3."Flat Tire Monitor"4.Switch on drive-ready state and do not
drive off.5.Start the initialization: "Perform reset"6.Drive away.
The initialization is completed while driving, which can be interrupted at any time.
