Checking tire pressure electronically
with the Tire Pressure Monitoring Sys-
tem (TPMS)* (vehicles without steering
wheel buttons)
Vehicles without steering wheel buttons
are equipped with the Tire Pressure Moni-
toring System.The TPMS only functions on wheels that
are equipped with the proper electronic
sensors. It monitors the tire inflation pres-
sure, as selected by the driver, in all four
tires. A warning is issued to alert you to a
decrease in pressure in one or more of the
tires.
!
CAUTION
After inspecting or adjusting the tire in-
flation pressure, always reattach the
valve cap if equipped.
This will prevent moisture and dirt from
entering the valve stem, which could
damage the valve stem.
iUSA only:
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) is equipped with a combination
low tire pressure/TPMS malfunction
telltale in the instrument cluster
(\2page 14). Depending on how the
telltale illuminates, it indicates a low
tire pressure condition or a malfunction
in the TPMS system itself:
\4If the telltale illuminates continu-
ously, one or more of your tires is
significantly underinflated. There is
no malfunction in the TPMS.
\4If the telltale flashes for 60 seconds
and then stays illuminated, the
TPMS system itself is not operating
properly.
iCanada only:
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) is equipped with a low tire pres-
sure telltale in the instrument cluster
(\2page 14). If the telltale illuminates,
one or more of your tires is significantly
underinflated.Warning
G
The TPMS does not warn you against incor-
rectly selected tire inflation pressure and
does not warn you when the tire pressure is
not properly selected for the respective ve-
hicle load. It warns you only when the pres-
sure of one or more tires decreases
significantly below the reference inflation

\1Press the ,menu button on the instru-
ment cluster.
The following message is displayed:
OK TPMSThe tire pressure monitor activation
process has begun.
The tire pressures of the individual
wheels are stored as the new reference
values if they are determined to be
plausible for the tire pressure monitor.
If you wish to cancel the activation pro-
cess:
\1Press the .button or the 5menu button
on the instrument cluster.
The activation process is canceled au-
tomatically if 30 seconds elapse with

decrease in pressure in one or more of the
tires.
Tire pressure inquiries are made using the
multifunction display. The present inflation
pressures are displayed only after a few
minutes’ travel time.
