Sy stem limitations
The sy stem may be impaired or may not function
particular lyin thefo llowing situations:
R incor rectly set tyre pressure
R sudden pressure loss caused, forex ample,
by afo re ign object penetrating the tyre
R steady pressure loss in se veral tyres
The sy stem has a restricted or del ayed function
particularly in thefo llowing situations:
R poor ground cond itions, e.g. snow or gr avel
R driving with snow chains
R when adopting a very sporty driving style

All models: as atemp orary measure, if there c‐
ommended fuel is not available, you may also
re fuel with regular unleaded petrol with an
octane number of at least 91RON. This may
re duce engine output and increase fuel con‐
sum ption.
