The temperature displayed may climb to
250 °F (120 °C) when the vehicle is being
driven in normal conditions and if the cool-
ant contains the correct concentration of
corrosion inhibitor and antifreeze. It is ac-
ceptable for the coolant temperature to
rise to the end of the scale at high outside
temperatures and when driving in moun-
tainous terrain.You can use the functions in the
Audio

menu to control the audio equipment that
you have just switched on.
If no audio equipment is switched on, you
will see the

\3 Electronic equipment
The vehicle’s general operating permit may
be invalidated if you do not observe the
manufacturer’s installation specifications .
You will find information about retrofitting
electrical / electronic equipment in the
“Technical data” section (\2page 354).
Radio, telephone, two-way radio,
fax machine and navigation systemWarning
G
Please do not forget that your primary respon-
sibility is to drive the vehicle safely.
Only operate the electronic equipment when
road and traffic conditions permit. Keep in
mind that at a speed of just 30 mph (about
50 km/h), your vehicle travels 44 feet (about
14 m) per second.
A navigation system does not provide infor-
mation about bridge load-bearing capacities
or headroom clearances.
You are responsible for safety at all times.
Observe legal requirements.
Telephones, two-way radios and fax machines
without an exterior antenna may interfere
with the vehicle’s electronics, thereby jeopar-
dizing the vehicle’s operating safety. The risk
of an accident increases.
Do not use this equipment while the vehicle is
in motion.

Reactivating the TPMS
The TPMS must be reactivated when you
have adjusted the tire inflation pressure to
a new level (e.g. because of different load
or driving conditions). The TPMS is then
recalibrated to the current tire inflation
pressures.\1Using the tire and loading information
placard on the driver’s door B-pillar
(\2page 206), make sure the tire infla-
tion pressure of all four tires is correct.
\1Switch on the ignition (\2page 67).
\1Press the 5menu button on the instru-
ment cluster until you see the
+CAL TPMS
message in the display.
TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety
of reasons, including the installation of in-
compatible replacement or alternate tires or
wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS
from functioning properly. Always check the
TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing
one or more tires or wheels on your vehicle
to ensure that the replacement or alternate
tires and wheels allow the TPMS to continue
to function properly.iIf a condition causing the TPMS to mal-
function develops, it may take up to 10
minutes for the system to signal a mal-
function using the TPMS telltale flash-
ing and illumination sequence.
The telltale extinguishes after driving a
few minutes if the malfunction has
been corrected.
iOperating radio transmission equip-
ment (e.g. wireless headsets, two-way
radios) in or near the vehicle could
cause the TPMS to malfunctionWarning
G
It is the driver’s responsibility to calibrate
the TPMS on the recommended cold infla-
tion pressure. Underinflated tires affect the
ability to steer or brake the vehicle. You
might lose control over the vehicle.
iReactivate the TPMS after adjusting
the tire inflation pressure to the infla-
tion pressure recommended for the ve-
hicle operating condition. Tire pressure
should only be adjusted on cold tires.
Observe the recommended tire infla-
tion pressure on the tire and loading in-
formation placard on the driver’s door
B-pillar (\2page 206).
