Tire pressure monitoring system
Applies to veh ic les: with tir e pr essure monitor in g system
General notes
As an adde d safe ty feature, your vehicle has been equ ipped wit h a
tire pressure monitoring sys tem (TPMS) that i lluminates a low tire
pressure te llta le when one or more of your tires is significant ly
under-inflated . The TPMS only provides a low tire pressure warning
and does not reinflate your tires.
According ly, when the low tire pressure te llta le i llum inates, you
shou ld stop and check your tires as soon as possib le, and infla te
them to the proper pressure . Driv ing on a significantly under ­
inf lated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure.
Under -inflation a lso reduces fue l efficiency and tire tread life, and
may affect the vehicle 's hand ling and stopping ab ility .
0 Note
• Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire
maintenance , and it is the driver's responsibility to maintain correct
..,_

Fig. 39 Center display :

In order for the tire pressure monitoring system to operate
accurately, you have to re-save the specified pressures
whenever you adjust tire pressure, for example, when the load condition of your vehicle changes. Proceed as follows:
Correct the tire pressure
- check the pressure in the tires (including the spare tire),
- adjust the air pressure as needed in accordance with the
information on the tire pressure label.
Reset the system
Push the [RESET] button=> page 48, fig. 38 until Display

Following each intentional change in specified pressures , tire pres­
sures must be resaved .
Af ter the pressures are saved, the tire pressure monitoring system
measures the current tire pressures and saves them as the new
specified pressures .
[ i] Tips
• The tire pressure is shown on the tire pressure label. On USA
vehic les, the tire pressure label is located on the driver's side 8-
pillar. On Canada vehicles, the tire pressure labe l is located either on
the driver's side 8 -pillar or inside the fuel filler flap . The tire pressure
label lists the recommended cold tire inflation pressures for the
vehicle at its maximum capacity weight and the tires that were on
your vehicle at the time it was manufactured. For recommended tire
pressures for normal load cond itions, please see chapter
~ page 297.
• The tire pressure monitoring system he lps the driver to keep an
eye on tire pressures. But the driver stil l has the responsibility for
mainta ining the correct tire pressure. •

driver's side or vice versa . The new temperature set ting will be
shown in the display. The old temperature setting can be restored
by resetting the display as required. •
Switching between Fahrenheit and

Switching off the air recirculation
-Press~ again, or
- press [AUTO], or
press[ ®].
In the air recirculation mode , the air in the passenger compartment
is recirculated to prevent exhaust fumes and other pollution from
entering the vehicle. We recommend that you use the manual air recirculation under the following conditions:
• when driving through tunnels
• in a tra ffic jam.
& WARNING
Do not use this setting for extended periods of time . The windows
could fog up since no fresh air can enter the vehicle.
If the
windows fog up, press the air recirculation button again immedi­ ately to switch off the air recirculation function or select defrost. •
ECON [ECON]
Using ECON helps save fuel
- Press [ECON] to activate ~ page 126, fig. 137.
Press [ECON] again or press [AUTO] to switch off.
In ECON mode the air conditioner is shut off and heating and venti ­
lation are automatically controlled . "ECON" translates "Economy"
since driving with the air conditioning compressor disengaged
improves your mileage noticeably.
When operating in ECON mode make sure the temperature inside
the vehicle is not lower than the outside temperature. The air is
nei ther cooled nor dehumidified, so there is a risk that the windows
can fog up .•
Switching the air conditioning on and off [ OFF]
Switching the air conditioning off
-Press [ OFF] to turn the air conditioner off and block
outside air from entering the vehicle.
Switching the air conditioning on
-Press [ OFF] again (indicator light comes on again), or
- Press [AUTO], or
- Press one of the following buttons:
[O J,[@!] or [-0, ].

Warm and cold
----------------
The rear window defogger works only when the ignition is switched
on. The light in the switch will illuminate when the defogger is on .
When the outside temperature is warmer than 32 °F (O °Cl , the rear
window defogger switches off automatically after about ten minutes.
'£> F o r the sake of the environment
Switch off the defogger when the rear window is clear . When you
save e lectricity, you save fuel. •
Using the climate controls economically
Using the climate controls prudently can help save fuel .
When you use the air conditioner, engine power is reduced
and fuel consumption increases . To save fuel, you should
use the air conditioner only when necessary . Also please
note the following points:
-If you want to save fuel, activate ECON.
-If you are goi ng to drive w ith the windows open, use
ECON.
'£> For th e sake of the environment
By reducing the amount of fue l you use , you also reduce the amount
of pollutants emitted into the air. •
Key coded settings
When the ignition is switched on, the air conditioner
settings are automatically assigned to the key being used.
The air conditioner settings selected are automatically stored and
assigned to the key being used. When the vehicle is started, the air
conditioner automatically selects the settings assigned to that key.
This way every dr iver will ma intain his/her own personal settings
and does not have to reset them manually .
[ i ] Tip s
If a different driver uses your key and changes the air conditioner
set tings, the latest adjustments will erase and replace the settings
you have stored. •
