The systemchecksthe tire pressure andthe tiretemperature ofthe tires installed onthevehiclebymeans of a tire pressuresensor.
New tire pressure sensors, e.g. in winter tires,are automaticallytaught-in duringthefirst jour‐neytheyare used.
The tire pressure andthe tiretemperatureappear inthe multifunction display(page 396).
Ifthere is a substantial pressure loss or ifthetiretemperature isexcessive,you will bewarnedinthefollowingways:

The tire pressuremonitoring system is only anaid. It isthe driver'sresponsibilitytosetthe tirepressuretotherecommended cold tire pressuresuitableforthe operating situation. Setthe tirepressurefor cold tires using a tire pressure
gauge.Notethatthe correct tire pressureforthecurrent operating situation mustfirst betaught-intothe tire pressure monitoring system.
In most cases,the tire pressure monitoring sys‐tem will automatically updatethe newreferencevalues afteryou havechangedthe tire pressure.You can, however,also updatethereferenceval‐uesbyrestartingthe tire pressure monitoringsystem manually (page 397).
System limitations
The system may be impaired or may not functioninthefollowing situations:
RIfthe tire pressure is set incorrectly
RIfthere is a sudden pressure loss caused,forexample,byaforeign object penetratingthetire
RIfthere is a malfunction causedbyanotherradio signal source

and one-half times aswell onthe governmenttesttrack as a tire graded100.
Therelative performance of tires depends uponthe actual conditions oftheir use, however,andmay depart significantly fromthe norm duetovariations in driving habits, service practices anddifferences inroadcharacteristics and climateconditions.
Tractiongrade
\nDANGERRisk of accident duetoinade‐quate traction
The tractiongrade assignedtothis tire isbased onstraight-ahead braking tractiontests, and does not include either accelera‐tion, cornering,hydroplaning or peak tractioncharacteristics.
Always adaptyour drivingstyle anddrive at a speedtosuitthe prevailingtraffic andweather conditions.
NOTEDamagetothe drivetrain fromwheelspin
Avoid wheelspin.
The traction grades – from highesttolowest –are AA,A,B and C. Those gradesrepresentthetire's abilitytostop onwet pavement as meas‐ured under controlled conditions on specifiedgovernmenttestsurfaces made of asphalt andconcrete.
Temperaturegrade
\nWARNINGRisk of accident from tireoverheating and tirefailure
Thetemperature gradeforthis tire is estab‐lishedfor a tirethat is properly inflated andnotoverloaded. Excessive speed, underinfla‐tion, orexcessive loading, either separatelyor in combination, can causeexcessive heatbuild-up and possible tirefailure.
Observetherecommended tire pres‐sures andregularlycheckthe tire pres‐
sure of all tires includingthe sparewheel.
Adjustthe tire pressure as necessary.
Thetemperature grades are A (the highest), Band C. Theyrepresentthe tire'sresistancetothegeneration of heat and its abilitytodissipateheat whentested under controlled conditions ona specified indoor laboratorytestwheel. Sus‐tained hightemperature can causethe materialofthe tiretodegenerate andreduce tire life, andexcessivetemperature can leadtosudden tirefailure. Grade C correspondstoa level of per‐formance which all passenger car tires mustmeet undertherequirements ofthe US Depart‐ment ofTransportation.

Notes on brakefluid
Observethe notes on operatingfluids(page 425).
\nWARNINGRisk of an accident duetovapor pocketsforming inthe brake sys‐tem
The brakefluid constantly absorbs moisturefromthe air. This lowersthe boiling point ofthe brakefluid. Ifthe boiling point istoo low,vapor pockets mayforminthe brake systemwhenthe brakes are applied hard.
This causesthe braking effecttobeimpaired.
