The system checks the tire pressure of the tires
ins talled on theve hicle bymeans of a tire pres‐
sure sensor.
New tire pressure sensor, e.g. in winter tires, are
automatically taught-in thefirs t time they are
driven.
The tire pressure appears in the multifunction
display (
→page 202).
If th ere is a subs tantial pressure loss or if the
tire temp erature is excessive, a warning will be
given:
RVi a display messages (→page 409).
RViath eh warning lamp in the instrument
clus ter (→page 440).
It is the driver's responsibility toset the tire
pressure tothere commended cold tire pressure
suitable forth e operating situation. Set the tire
pressure for cold tires using a tire pressure
ga uge. Notethat the cor rect tire pressure forth e
cur rent operating situation must firs t be taught-
in to the tire pressure monitor.
In most cases, the tire pressure monitoring sys‐
te m will auto matically update the new refere nce va
lues af teryo u ha vechanged the tire pressure.
Yo u can, ho wever,also update there fere nce val‐
ues byrestarting the tire pressure monitoring
sy stem manually (
→page 345).
Sy stem limitations
The t
ire pressure monitoring sy stem does not
issue a warning:
RIfth e tire pressure is set incor rectly.
RIfth ere is a sudden pressure loss caused, for

tire.
RIf th ere is a malfunction caused byano ther

Observethefo llowing when selecting, mounting
and replacing tires:
ROnly use tires and wheels of the same type
(summer tires, winter tires, MOEx tended
tires) and the same make.
ROnly mount wheels of the same size on one
axle (left and right).
It is only permissible todeviate from this rule
in theeve nt of a flat tire in order todrive to
th e specialist workshop.
ROnly mount tires of the cor rect size onto the
wheels.
RVe hicles with a tire pressure monitoring
sy stem: All mounte d wheels must be equip‐
ped with functioning sensors forth e tire
pressure monitoring sy stem.
RAt temp eratures below 45 °F (7 °C), use win‐
te r tires or all-season tires mar ked M+S for
all wheels.
Wi nter tires bearing thei snowflake sym‐
bol in addition tothe M+S marking pr ovide
th e best possible grip in wintry road condi‐
tions.
RFo r M+S tire , onlyuse tires with the same
tread.
RObser vethe maximum permissible speed for
th e M+S tire mounted.
If th is is below theve hicle's maximum speed,
th is must be indicated in an appropriate label
in the driver's field of vision.
RBreak in new tires at moderate speeds for
th efirs t 60 miles (100 km).
RRe place the tires af ter six years at the latest,
re ga rdless of wear.
RWhen replacing with tires that do not fea‐
ture run-flat characteristics: Vehicles with
MOExtended tires are not equipped with a
TIREFIT kit at thefa ctor y.Equip theve hicle
with a TIREFIT kit af terre placing with tires
