If the wheel positions on the vehicle are
interchanged, the tyre pressures may be
displayed for the wrong positions for a
short time. This is rectified after a few
minutes of driving, and the tyre pressures
are displayed for the correct positions.
Restarting the tyre pressure monitor When you restart the tyre pressure monitor,
all existing warning messages are deleted and
the warning lamps go out. The monitor uses
the currently set tyre pressures as the refer-
ence values for monitoring. In most cases, the
tyre pressure monitor will automatically
detect the new reference values after you
have changed the tyre pressure.
i For an overview of the menus, see
(Y page 230).
If you wish to define the new reference values
manually:
X Use the table on the inside of the fuel filler
flap to ensure that the tyre pressure is set
correctly in all four tyres for the current
operating conditions.
Also observe the notes in the section on
tyre pressures (Y page 361).
X Make sure that the key is in position 2in
the ignition lock.
X Press the =or; button on the steer-
ing wheel to select the Service menu.
X Press the 9or: button to select
Tyre pressure .
X Press the abutton.
The multifunction display shows the cur-
rent tyre pressure of the individual tyres or
the Tyre pressures will be dis‐ played after a few minutes of driv‐
ing message.
X Press the :button.
The Use current pressures as new reference values message appears in
the multifunction display. If you wish to confirm the restart:
X
Press the abutton.
The Tyre press. monitor restarted message appears in the multifunction dis-
play.
After you have driven for a few minutes, the
system checks whether the current tyre
pressures are within the specified range.
The new tyre pressures are then accepted
as reference values and monitored.
If you wish to cancel the restart:
X Press the %button.
The tyre pressure values stored at the last
restart will continue to be monitored.
Radio type approval for the tyre pres-
sure monitor In certain countries, a radio type approval for
the tyre pressure monitor may be required.
