Functional requirementIn order to assure the reliable reporting of a flat
tire, the system must be reset while all tire in‐
flation pressures are correct.
Always use wheels with TPM electronics. Oth‐
erwise, the system may malfunction.
Reset the system after each correction of the
tire inflation pressure and after every tire or
wheel change.
System limits Sudden tire damage
Sudden serious tire damage caused by
external influences cannot be indicated in ad‐
vance.◀
The system does not function properly if it has
not been reset, e.g., it may identify a tire as flat
in spite of the fact that the tire is filled to the
correct inflation pressure.
The system is deactivated and is unable to de‐
tect flat tires if a wheel not equipped with TPM
electronics has been mounted, e.g., a compact
wheel, or if TPM is experiencing temporary in‐
terference from other systems or devices that
use the same frequency.
Status display1. Press the button. The start menu
opens.2."Vehicle Info"3."Vehicle status"4."TPM"5.The status is displayed.
Status indicator on the Control
Display
The tire and system status is indicated by the
color of the tires.
TPM takes into account that tire pressures
change while the vehicle is being driven. The
tire pressures do not need to be corrected un‐
less the TPM instructs you to do so by means
of color indicators.
Green
The tire inflation pressure corresponds to the
established target value.
"TPM active" appears on the Control Display.
One wheel is yellow
There is a flat tire or substantial loss of tire
pressure in the indicated tire. A message ap‐ pears on the Control Display.
All wheels are yellow▷There is a flat tire or substantial loss of tire
pressure in several tires.▷The system was not reset after a wheel
change and thus issues a warning based
on the inflation pressures initialized last.▷A flat tire in one or more tires while the sys‐
tem is being reset.
A message appears on the Control Display.
Gray The system cannot detect a flat tire.
Possible reasons for this:
▷TPM is being reset.▷Temporary malfunction caused by systems
or devices using the same radio frequency.▷Malfunction.
Resetting the system
Reset the system after each correction of the
tire inflation pressure and after every tire or
wheel change.

If the tire inflation pressure in all four tires
is correct, the Tire Pressure Monitor may
not have been initialized. In this case, initi‐
alize the system.
Possible driving distance with complete loss of
tire inflation pressure:
The possible driving distance after a loss of tire
inflation pressure depends on the cargo load
and the driving style and conditions.
For a vehicle containing an average load, the
possible driving distance is approx.
50 miles/80 km.
When the vehicle is driven with a damaged tire,
its handling characteristics change, e.g., re‐
duced lane stability during braking, a longer
braking distance, and altered self-steering
properties. Adjust your driving style accord‐
ingly. Avoid abrupt steering maneuvers or driv‐
ing over obstacles, e. g., curbs, potholes, etc.
Because the possible driving distance de‐
pends on how the vehicle is used during the
trip, the actual distance may be smaller or
greater depending on the driving speed, road
conditions, external temperature, cargo load,
etc.
Continued driving with a flat tire
Drive moderately and do not exceed a
speed of 50 mph/80 km/h.
A loss of tire inflation pressure results in a
change in the handling characteristics, e.g., re‐
duced lane stability during braking, a longer
braking distance and altered self-steering
properties.◀
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.◀
Message when not reset
The warning lamp lights up yellow. A
message appears on the Control Dis‐
play. The system detected a wheel
change but was not reset. Warnings regarding
the current tire inflation pressure are not relia‐
ble.
Check the tire inflation pressure and reset the
system, refer to page 95.
Malfunction The small warning lamp flashes in
yellow and then lights up continu‐
ously; the larger warning lamp comes
on in yellow. On the Control Display,
the tires are shown in gray and a message ap‐
pears. No flat tire can be detected.
Display in the following situations:▷A wheel without TPM electronics is fitted:
have the service center check it if neces‐
sary.▷Malfunction: have the system checked by
your service center.▷TPM could not be fully reset. Reset the
system again.
The small warning lamp flashes in yellow and then lights up continu‐
