TPMS MERCEDES-BENZ GLE COUPE 2017 C292 Owner's Manual

Important safety notes
GWARNING
Eac htire, includin gth espar e(if provided),
should be checke dat least once amonth
when cold and inflated to th epressur erec -
ommended by th evehicl emanufacturer on
th eTir eand Loading Information placard on
th edriver' sdoor B-pillar or th etire pressur e
label on th einside of th efuel filler flap .If your
vehicl ehas tires of adifferen tsiz ethan th e
siz eindicated on th eTir eand Loading Infor -
mation placard or th etire pressur elabel, you
should determine th eproper tire pressur efor
those tires .
As an added safet yfeature, your vehicl ehas
been equipped wit h atire pressur emonitoring
system (TPMS) that illuminate s alow tire pres-
sur etelltale when on eor mor eof your tires
are significantly underinflated. Accordingly,
when th elow tire pressur etelltale illuminates,
you should stop and chec kyour tires as soo n
as possible ,and inflat ethem to th eproper
pressure. Drivin gon asignificantly underin-
flated tire causes th etire to overheat and can
lead to tire failure. Underinflation also
reduce sfuel efficiency and tire tread life ,and
may affec tth evehicle's handlin gand stop-
pin gability.
Pleas enote that th eTPM Sis no t asubstitut e
for proper tire maintenance ,a
nd it is th edriv -
er' sresponsibilit yto maintai ncorrec ttire
pressure, eve nif underinflation has no t
reached th elevel to trigge rillumination of th e
TPM Slow tire pressur etelltale.
US Aonly:
Your vehicl ehas also been equipped wit h a
TPM Smalfunction indicator to indicat eif th e
system is no toperating properly. The TPM S
malfunction indicator is combined wit hth e
low tire pressur etelltale. When th esystem
detects amalfunction ,th ewarning lamp will
flas hfor approximately aminute and then
remain continuously illuminated. This
sequenc ewill be repeated every time th evehi-
cle is started as lon gas th emalfunction
exists.
When th emalfunction indicator is illuminated,
th esystem may no tbe able to detec tor signal
low tire pressur eas intended. TPM Smalfunc -
tion smay occur for avariet yof reasons,
includin gth emounting of incompatible
replacemen tor alternate tires or wheels on
th evehicl ethat preven tth eTPM Sfrom func-
tioning properly. Always chec kth eTPM Smal-
function telltale after replacing on eor mor e
tires or wheels on your vehicl eto ensur ethat
th ereplacemen tor alternate tires and wheels
allow th eTPM Sto continue to function prop-
erly.
It is th edriver' sresponsibilit yto set th etire
pressur eto that recommended for cold tires
whic his suitable for th eoperating situation
(
Ypage 324). Not ethat th ecorrec ttire pressur e
for th ecurren toperating situation must first be
taught-in to th etire pressur emonitor. If there is
a substantial loss of pressure, th ewarning
threshold for th ewarning message is aligned to
th ereferenc evalue staught-in .Restart th etire
pressur emonitor after adjusting th epressur eof
th ecold tires (
Ypage 330). The curren tpres-
sures are saved as ne wreferenc evalues. As a
result , awarning message will appear if th etire
pressur e
d
rops significantly.
The tire pressur emonitor does no twarn you of
an incorrectl yset tire pressure. Observ eth e
note son th erecommended tire pressur e
(
Ypage 324).
The tire pressur emonitor is no table to warn you
of asudde nloss of pressure, e.g. if th etire is
penetrated by aforeign object. In th eevent of a
sudde nloss of pressure, brin gth evehicl eto a
halt by braking carefully. Avoid abrup tsteering
movements.
The tire pressur emonitor has ayellow warning
lamp in th einstrumen tcluste rfor indicating
pressur eloss or amalfunction .Whether th e
warning lamp flashes or lights up indicates
whether atire pressur eis to olow or th etire
pressur emonitor is malfunctioning :
Rif thewarning lamp is lit continuously, th etire
pressur eon on eor mor etires is significantly
to olow. The tire pressur emonitor is no tmal-
functioning .
Rif thewarning lamp flashes for aroun d a
minute and then remain slit constantly, th e
tire pressur emonitor is malfunctioning .
