measured at a gas station using a pressure
gauge. The on-board computer will
generally give you a more exact value.

If the 0077 tire pressure warning lamp
flashes for just 60 seconds and then is lit
permanently, the tire pressure monitor is
malfunctioning (Y page 196). If a malfunction of the tire pressure monitor

Reactivating the tire pressure monitor In most cases, the tire pressure monitor
detects the new reference values
automatically, e.g. after you have:
R
changed the tire pressure
R changed wheels or tires
R installed new wheels or tires
If you wish to define new reference values
manually:
X Refer to the table on the tire data labels
(Y page 256) to make sure that the
