Operation
Tires and wheels
If you want to set new reference values
manually:
Using the Tire and Loading Information
placard on the driver’s door B-pillar
(
page 280) or, if available, the
supplemental tire inflation pressure
information on the inside of the fuel
filler flap (
page 264), make sure the
tire inflation pressure of all four tires is
correct.
Press button è orÿ on the mul-
tifunction steering wheel repeatedly
until the standard display menu
appears in the multifunction display.
Press button j ork repeatedly
until you see the current inflation
pressures for each tire appear in the
multifunction display or the following
message appears in the multifunction
display:
Tire pressure
displayed
only after
driving for
a few minutes
Press the reset button (page 130).
The following message will appear in
the multifunction display:

restarted
After driving a few minutes the system
verifies that the cu rrent tire inflation
pressures are within the system’s
specified range. Afte rwards the current
tire inflation pressures are accepted as
reference pressures and then moni-
tored.
If you wish to cancel activation:
Press the ç button.
iRestart the TPMS after adjusting the tire in-
flation pressure to the inflation pressure recom-
mended for the vehicle operating condition. Tire
pressure should only be adjusted on cold tires.
Observe the recommended tire inflation pres-
sure on the Tire and Loading Information placard
on the driver’s door B-pillar (
page 280). Some
vehicles may have supplemental tire inflation
pressure information for driving at high speeds
(
page 287) or for vehicle loads less than the
maximum loaded vehicle condition
(
page 287). If such information is provided, it
can be found on the inside of the fuel filler flap
(
page 264).
