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, for instance in less severe accidents or
rear-end collisions.
Information

effect
of
the
airbags
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 achieving
the optimum protective effect of the airbag
system. '

'

there is a significant loss of pressure in one or
more tires.
General
information
Sensors in the tire valves measure the tire infla~ tion pressure and, depending on the model,
the tire temperature.
With use of the system follow further informa~ tion found under Tire inflation pressure, refer to
page 222.
Functional
requirements
The following conditions must be met for the
system; otherwise, reliable flagging of a loss of
tire inflation pressure is not assured:'

You may interrupt this trip at any time. When
you continue the reset resumes automatically.
Messages
General
information
A low tire inflation pressure may cause the DSC Dynamic Stability Control to be switched on.
Safety
information 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. '

SymbolPossible causeThere is a flat tire or a major loss in
tire inflation pressure.
No reset was performed for the sys~
tem. The system issues a warning
based on the tire inflation pressures stored during the last reset.
Measure
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 230, are la~
beled with a circular symbol containing the
letters RSC marked on the tire's sidewall.
Actions
in
the
event
of
a
flat
tire
Normal
tires
1.Identify the damaged tire.
To do this, check the tire inflation pressure
in all four tires, for instance using the tire pressure gage of a flat tire kit.
If the tire inflation pressure in all four tires is correct, the Tire Pressure Monitor may not
have been reset. In this case, perform the
reset.
If the tire inflation pressure in all four tires is correct, the Flat Tire 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
