Important safety notes
The tire pressure warning system does notwarn you of an incorrectly set tire pressure.Observe the notes on the recommended tirepressure (Ypage 270).
The tire pressure loss warning does notreplace the need to regularly check the tirepressure. An even loss of pressure on severaltires at the same time cannot be detected bythe tire pressure loss warning system.
The tire pressure monitor is not able to warnyou of a sudden loss of pressure, e.g. if thetire is penetrated by a foreign object. In theevent of a sudden loss of pressure, bring thevehicle to a halt by braking carefully. Avoidabrupt steering movements.
The function of the tire pressure loss warningsystem is limited or delayed if:
Rsnow chains are mounted on your vehicle'stires.
Rroad conditions are wintry.
Ryou are driving on sand or gravel.
Ryou adopt a very sporty driving style (corner-ing at high speeds or driving with high ratesof acceleration).
Ryou drive with a heavy load.

XBefore restarting, make sure that the tirepressures are set properly on all four tiresfor the respective operating conditions.
The recommended tire pressure can befound on the Tire and Loading Informationplacard on the B-pillar. Additionally, a tirepressure table is attached to the fuel fillerflap. The tire pressure loss warning systemcan only give reliable warnings if you haveset the correct tire pressure. If an incorrect
tire pressure is set, these incorrect valueswill be monitored.

Tire pressure monitor
General notes
If a tire pressure monitor is installed, the vehi-cle's wheels have sensors that monitor the tirepressures in all four tires. The tire pressuremonitor warns you if the pressure drops in oneor more of the tires. The tire pressure monitoronly functions if the corresponding sensorsare installed in all wheels.
Information on tire pressures is displayed inthe multifunction display. After a few minutesof driving, the current tire pressure of each tire

If the wheel positions on the vehicle are rota-ted, the tire pressures may be displayed forthe wrong positions for a short time. This isrectified after a few minutes of driving, and thetire pressures are displayed for the correctpositions.
Restarting the tire pressure monitor
When you restart the tire pressure monitor, allexisting warning messages are deleted and thewarning lamps go out. The monitor uses thecurrently set tire pressures as the referencevalues for monitoring. In most cases, the tirepressure monitor will automatically detect thenew reference values after you have changedthe tire pressure. However, you can also setreference values manually as described here.The tire pressure monitor then monitors thenew tire pressure values.
XSet the tire pressure to the value recom-mended for the corresponding driving situa-tion on the Tire and Loading Informationplacard on the driver's side B-pillar(Ypage 270).
Additional tire pressure values for differentloads can also be found on the tire pressuretable on the inside of the fuel filler flap(Ypage 270).
XMake sure that the tire pressure is correcton all four wheels.
XEnsure that the SmartKey is in position Hin the ignition lock.
