Ejection
MitigationThe head airbag system is designed as an ejec~
tion mitigation countermeasure to reduce the
likelihood of ejections of vehicle occupants
through side windows during rollovers or side
impact events.
Knee
airbag
The knee airbag supports the legs in a frontal
impact.
Protective
action
Airbags are not triggered in every impact situa~ tion, e.g., in less severe accidents or rear-end
collisions.

WARNING
If the seat position is incorrect or the de~
ployment area of the airbags is impaired, the airbag system cannot provide protection as in~
tended and may cause additional injuries due
to triggering. There is a risk of injuries or dan~ ger to life. Follow the information on optimumprotective effect of the airbag system. '

there is a significant loss of pressure in one or
more tires. For this purpose, sensors in the tire
valves measure the tire inflation pressure.
General
information With use of the system observe further infor~
mation found under Tire inflation pressure, re~ fer to page 198.
Functional
requirements The system must have been reset with the cor~
rect tire inflation pressure; otherwise, reliable
signaling of tire pressure loss is not assured.
Reset the system after each adjustment of the
tire inflation pressure and after every tire or
wheel change.
Always use wheels with TPM electronics to en~ sure that the system will operate properly.
Status
display The current status of the Tire Pressure MonitorTPM can be displayed on the Control Display,
for instance whether or not the TPM is active.
Via the onboard monitor:1. "Vehicle info"2."Vehicle status"3. "Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM)"
The status is displayed.

malfunction.
Status
information The status control display additionally shows
the current tire inflation pressures. It shows the actual values read; they may vary dependingon driving style or weather conditions.
Resetting
the
system
Reset the system after each adjustment of the
tire inflation pressure and after every tire or wheel change.
Via the onboard monitor:1. "Vehicle info"2."Vehicle status"3. "Perform reset"4.Start the engine but do not drive off.5.Reset the tire inflation pressure using
"Perform reset".6.Drive away.
The tires are shown in gray and the status is displayed.
After driving faster than 19 mph/30 km/h for a
short period, the set tire inflation pressures are accepted as reference values. The resetting
process is completed automatically while driv~
ing. After successful completion of the reset,
the tires appear in green on the Control Display
and "Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) active" is dis~
played.
The progress of the reset is displayed.
You may interrupt this trip at any time. When
you continue the reset resumes automatically.

message
A Check Control message is displayed.'

Check the air pressure in all four tires, forinstance using the tire pressure gage of a
tire repair kit.
If the tire inflation pressure in all four tires is correct, the Tire Pressure Monitor may not
have been initialized. In this case, initialize
the system.
If identification of flat tire damage is not
possible, please contact a dealer

The system cannot indicate sudden serious tiredamage caused by external circumstances.
Malfunction The yellow warning lamp flashes and
then lights up continuously. A Check
Control message is displayed. No flat
tire or loss of tire pressure can be detected.
Examples and recommendations in the follow~ing situations:'

Functional
requirementsThe system must have been initialized whenthe tire inflation pressure was correct; other~
wise, reliable flagging of a flat tire is not as~
sured. Initialize the system after each correc~
tion 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 on the Control Display, for in~
stance whether or not the FTM is active.
Via the onboard monitor:1. "Vehicle info"2."Vehicle status"3. "Flat Tire Monitor (FTM)"
The status is displayed.
Initialization When initializing, the set tire inflation pressures
serve as reference values in order to detect a
flat tire. Initialization is started by confirming
the inflation pressures.
Do not initialize the system when driving with
snow chains.
Via the onboard monitor:
1. "Vehicle info"2."Vehicle status"3. "Perform reset"4.Start the engine but do not drive off.5.Start the initialization with "Perform reset".6.Drive away.
The initialization is completed while driving,
which can be interrupted at any time.
The initialization automatically continues when driving resumes.
Indication
of
a
flat
tire The yellow warning lamp lights up. A
Check Control message is displayed.
There is a flat tire or a major loss in tire inflation pressure.1.Reduce your speed and stop cautiously.
Avoid sudden braking and steering maneu~ vers.2.Check whether the vehicle is fitted with
normal tires or run-flat tires.
Run-flat tires, refer to page 205, are la~
beled with a circular symbol containing the
letters RSC marked on the tire's sidewall.
WARNING
A damaged regular tire with low or miss~
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. Fol~
low the information on run-flat tires and con~ tinued driving with these tires. '
