General notes If
at ire pressure monitor is installed, the
vehicle's wheels have sensors that monitor
the tire pressures in all four tires. The tire
pressure monitor warns you if the pressure
drops in one or more of the tires. The tire
pressure monitor only functions if the correct
sensors are installed on all wheels.
Information on tire pressures is displayed in
the multifunction display. After afew minutes
of driving, the current tire pressure of each
tire is shown in the Service menu of the
multifunction display. Example: current tire pressure display
For information on the message display, refer
to the "Checking the tire pressure
electronically"s
ection (Ypage 322).
Important safety notes G
WARNING
Each tire, including the spare (if provided),
should be checked at least once every two
weeks when cold and inflated to the pressure
recommended by the vehicle manufacturer
on the Tire and Loading Information placard
on the driver's door B-pillar or the tire
pressure label on the inside of the fuel filler
flap. If your vehicle has tires of adifferent size
than the size indicated on the Tire and Loading
Information placard or, if available, the tire
pressure label, you should determine the
proper tire pressure for those tires.
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has
been equipped with atire pressure monitoring
system (TPMS) that illuminates alow tire
pressure telltale when one or more of your 320
Tire pressureWheels and tires

tire
saresignificantl yunderinflated.
Accordingly, when the lo wtire pressure
telltale lights up ,you shoul dstop and check
your tire sassoonasp ossible,a nd inflate
them to the proper pressure. Driving on a
significantly underinflated tire causes the tire
to overheat and can lead to tire failure.
Underinflation also reduces fuel efficiency
and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle's
handling and stopping ability. Please note that
the TPMS is not asubstitute for proper tire
maintenance, and it is the driver's
responsibility to maintain correct tire
pressure, even if underinflation has not
reached the level to trigger illumination of the
TPMS low tire pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a
TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when
the system is not operating properly. The
TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with
the low tire pressure telltale. When the
system detects amalfunction, the warning
lamp will flash for approximately aminute and
then remain continuously illuminated. This
sequence will be repeated every time the
vehicle is started as long as the malfunction
exists. When the malfunction indicator is
illuminated, the system may not be able to
detect or signal low tire pressure as intended.
TPMS malfunctions may occur for avariety of
reasons, including the installation of
incompatible replacement or alternate tires
or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the
TPMS from functioningp roperly. 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.
It is the driver's responsibility to set the tire
pressure to that recommended for cold tires
which is suitablef or the operating situation
(Y page 315). Note that the correct tire
pressure for the current operating situation
must first be taught-in to the tire pressure
monitor. If there is asubstantial loss of pressure, the warning threshold for the
warning message is aligned to the reference
valuest
aught-in. Restart the tire pressure
monitor after adjusting the pressure of the
cold tires (Y page 322). The current
pressures are saved as new reference values.
As aresult, awarning message will appearif
the tir epressure drops significantly.
Th et irep ressure monitor does not warn you
of an incorrectly se ttirep ressure. Observe
the note sonthe recommended tir epressure
(Y page 315).
Th et irep ressure monitor is not able to warn
yo uofas uddenlossofp ressure, e.g .ifthe
tire is penetrated by aforeign object.Int he
event of asudden loss of pressure, bring the
vehicle to ahalt by braking carefully. Avoid
abrupt steering maneuvers.
The tire pressure monitor has ayellow
warning lamp in the instrumentc luster for
indicating apressure loss or malfunction.
Whether the warning lamp flashes or lights up
indicates whether atire pressure is too low or
the tire pressure monitor is malfunctioning:
R if the warning lamp is lit continuously,t he
tire pressure on one or more tires is
significantly too low. The tire pressure
monitor is not malfunctioning.
R if the warning lamp flashes for around a
minute and then remains lit constantly, the
tire pressure monitor is malfunctioning.
i In addition to the warning lamp, a
message appears in the multifunction
display.
Further information can be found on
(Y page 231).
If the tire pressure monitor is malfunctioning,
it may take more than ten minutes for the tire
pressure warning lamp to inform you of the
malfunction by flashing for approximately one
minute and then remaining lit. When the
malfunction has been rectified, the tire
pressure warning lamp goes out after afew
minutes of driving. Tire pressure
