Risk of injury
TIREFIT must not com einto contact with your
skin, eyes or clothing.
R If TIREFIT comes into contact with your
eyes or skin, immediately rinse thoroughly
with clean water.
R Change ou tofclothing which has come into
contact with TIREFIT immediately.
R If an allergic reaction occurs, consult a doc-
tor immediately.
Keep TIREFIT away fro mchildren.
R If TIREFIT is swallowed, immediately rinse
your mouth out thoroughly and drink plenty
of water.

Prepare the vehicle as described
(Y page 281).
X Remove the following items from the stow-
age well under the boot floor:
R the emergency spare wheel
R the tyre inflation compressor 38
R the vehicle tool kit
R the folding wheel chock
R the jack
X Secure the vehicle to prevent it from rolling
away.
Securing the vehicle to prevent it from
rolling away If your vehicle is equipped with a wheel chock,
it can be found in the vehicle tool kit
(Y page 279).
The folding wheel chock is an additional
securing measure to prevent the vehicle from
rolling away, for example when changing a
wheel. X
Fold both plates upwards :.
X Fold out lower plate ;.
X Guide the lugs on the lower plate fully into
the openings in base plate =. Securing the vehicle on level ground
X
On level ground: place chocks or other
suitable items under the fronta nd rearof
the wheel tha tis diagonally opposite the
wheel you wish to change. Securing the vehicle on slight downhill gradients
X
On downhill gradients: place chocks or
other suitable items in front of the wheels
of the front and rear axle.
Raising the vehicle G
Risk of injury
The jack is intended only for lifting the vehicle
briefly for wheel changes.
The vehicle must be placed on stands if you
intend to work under it.
Make sure that the jack is placed on a firm,
non-slip, level surface. Do not use wooden
blocks or similar objects as a jack underlay.
The vehicle could otherwise slip off the jack
and seriously injure you.

read at pressure gauge =.!
Do not operate the tyre inflation com-
pressor for longer than eight minutes at a
time without a break. It may otherwise
overheat.
The tyre inflation compressor can be oper-
ated again once it has cooled down.
X Pump the tyre to the specified tyre pres-
sure.
The specified tyre pressure is printed on
the yellow label of the emergency spare
wheel.

fied pressure, press pressure release but-
ton ;until the correct tyre pressure has
been reached.

vehicle to a haltb
y braking carefully. Do not
make any sudden steering movements when
doing so.
Information on tyre pressures is displayed in
the multifunction display. Afte rafew minutes
of driving, the current tyre pressure of each
tyre is show ninthe multifunction display.
i The tyre pressure values indicated by the
on-board computer may differ from those
measured at a filling station with a pressure
gauge. The tyre pressures shown by the on-
board computer refer to those measured at
sea level. At high altitudes, the tyre pres-
sure values indicated by a pressure gauge
are higher than those shown by the on-
board computer. In this case, do not reduce
the tyre pressures.
i The operation of the tyre pressure moni-
tor can be affected by interference from
radio transmitting equipment (e.g. radio
headphones, two-way radios) that may be
being operated in or near the vehicle.
Checking tyre pressure electronically X
Make sure that the key is in posi-
tion 2(Ypage 129) in the ignition lock.
X Use the =or; button on the steer-
ing wheel to select the Service menu.
X Use the 9or: button to select
Tyre pressure .
X Press the abutton.
The current tyre pressure for each wheel
will be displayed in the multifunction dis-
play.
If the vehicle has been parked for longer than
20 minutes, you will see the Tyre pressure
displayed after a few minutes of
driving message.
After a teach-in period, the tyre pressure
monitor automatically recognises new
wheels or new sensors. As long as a clear
allocation of the tyre pressure values to the
individual wheels is not possible, the Tyrepressure monitor active message isshown instead of the tyre pressure display.
The tyre pressures are already being moni-
tored.
i
If a spare wheel/emergency spare wheel
is fitted, for a few minutes the system may
continue to show the tyre pressure of the
wheel that has been removed. If this
occurs, note that the value displayed for
the position where the spare tyre is fitted
is not the same as the spare wheel/emer-
gency spare wheel's current tyre pressure.
Tyre pressure monitor warning mes-
sages If the tyre pressure monitor detects a signifi-
cant pressure loss on one or more tyres, a
warning message is shown in the multifunc-
tion display.
Awarning tone also sounds and
the tyre pressure warning lamp lights up in
the instrument cluster.
Each tyre that is affected by a significant loss
of pressure is highlighted with a colour.
If the Please correct tyre pressure(s) message appears in the multifunction dis-
play:
X
Chec kthe tyre pressure on all four wheels
and correct it if necessary.
i 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 referencev alues after you
have changed the tyre pressure. 308
