Final tire failure
Vibrations or loud noises while driving
can indicate the final failure of the tire. Reduce
speed and stop; otherwise, pieces of the tire
could come loose and cause an accident. Do
not continue driving, and contact your service
center.◀
Tire Pressure Monitor TPMThe concept
The system monitors the tire pressure in the
four mounted tires. The system issues a warn‐
ing if there is a significant loss of pressure in
one or more tires. Sensors in the tire valves
measure the tire pressure.
Notes Tire damage caused by external influen‐
ces
Sudden tire damage caused by external influ‐
ences cannot be indicated in advance.◀
To operate the system, also note the additional
information and instructions contained under
Tire inflation pressure, refer to page 232.
Functional requirements
The system must have been reset while the in‐
flation pressure was correct; otherwise, reliable
signaling of pressure loss is not ensured.
Reset the system after adjusting the tire infla‐
tion pressure and after changing a tire or
wheel.
Always use wheels with TPM electronics to
ensure that the system will operate properly.
