warning lights MERCEDES-BENZ SPRINTER 2013 MY13 Operator’s Manual

The tire pressure monitor does not warn you
if a tire pressure is incorrect. Observe the
notes on the recommended tire pressure
(Y page 278).
The tire pressure monitor is not able to warn
you of a sudden loss of pressure, e.g.
following penetration by a foreign object .In
this event, brake the vehicle until it comes to
a standstill. Do not carry ou tany sudden
steering maneuvers.
The tire pressure monitor has a yellow 000A
warning lamp in the instrument cluster for
indicating pressure loss/malfunctions (USA)
or pressure loss (Canada). Depending on how
the warning lamp flashes or lights up, an
underinflated tire or a malfunction in the tire
pressure monitor is displayed:
R if the 000A warning lamp is li tcontinuously,
the tire pressure on one or more tires is
significantly too low. The tire pressure
monitor is not malfunctioning.
R USA only: if the 000Awarning lamp flashes
for 60 seconds and then remains lit
constantly, the tire pressure monitor is
malfunctioning.
Only vehicles with steerin gwheel buttons: the
on-board computer displays information on
tire pressure. After a few minutes of driving,
the current tire pressure of each tire is shown
in the on-board computer.
USA only: if the tire pressure monitor is
malfunctioning, it may be more than
10 minutes before the malfunction is shown.
The 000A tire pressure warning lamp flashes
for 60 seconds and then remains lit. When the
malfunction has been rectified, the 000Atire
pressure warning lamp goes out after a few
minutes of driving.
The tire pressure values indicated by the on-
board computer may differ from those
measured at a gas station with a pressure
gauge. The tire pressures shown by the on-
board computer refer to those measured at
sea level. At high altitudes, the tire pressure
value indicated by a pressure gauge are
higher than those shown by the on-board computer. In this case, do not reduce the tire
pressures.
If radio transmitting equipment (e.g. wireless
headphones, two-way radios) is operated
inside the vehicle or in the vicinity of the
vehicle, this can interfere with the operation
of the tire pressure monitor.
Checking the tire pressure
electronically (vehicles with steering
wheel buttons)
Tire pressure display
Using the steering wheel buttons
X
Turn the key to position 2in the ignition
lock.
X Press the 0010or0007 button repeatedly
until the standard display is shown
(Y page 182).
X Press the 0001or0009 button repeatedly
until the current pressure of the individual
tires is shown in the display.
If the vehicle is parked for longer than
20 minutes or you then drive at less than
18 mph (30 km/h), the Tire pres.displayed after driving for
several minutes message appears.
i The tire pressure value shown in the
display may differ from those measured at
a gas station using a pressure gauge. The
on-board computer will generally give you
a more exact value.
Tire pressure loss warning system Vehicles with steering wheel buttons
If the tire pressure monitor detects a
significant pressure loss on one or more tires,
the on-board computer displays a warning282
Tire pressureWheels and tires

message. The
000Atire pressure loss warning
lamp in the instrument cluster (Y page 218)
lights up.
The tire pressure is show nin2red rectangles.
The pressure of the tire concerned is shown
in one of the two rectangles (Y page 192).
Additionally, a warning tone sounds.
Each tire that is affected by a significant loss
of pressure is highlighted in the pressure
display.
Restarting the tire pressure monitor When you restart the tire pressure monitor,
the currently set tire pressure are taken as
reference values for monitoring.
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
However, you can also define reference
values manually as described here.
Before restarting the tire pressure
monitor:
X Set the tire pressure to the value
recommended on the Tire and Loading
Information placard or the tire pressure
table on the B-pillar on the driver's side
(Y page 278).
Observe the notes on tire pressure when
doing so (Y page 278).
X Make sure that the tire pressure is correct
on all four wheels. Restarting the tire pressure monitor
(vehicles without steering wheel
buttons):
X
Turn the key to position 2in the ignition
lock.
X Press the 0004menu button on the
instrument cluster repeatedly until the
display shows the following message:
+CAL- TPMS X
Press the 000Ebutton on the instrument
cluster.
The display shows:
OK TPMS The tire pressure monitor activation
process has begun. The tire pressures
measured for the individual wheels are
stored as the new reference values,
provided that the tire pressure monitor
considers them to be plausible.
If you wish to cancel the restart:
X Press the 000Fbutton or the 0004menu button
on the instrument cluster.
The activation process is canceled
automatically if 30 seconds elapse with no
input.
Restarting the tire pressure monitor
(vehicles with steering wheel buttons):
X Turn the key to position 2in the ignition
lock.
X Press the 0010or0007 button on the
steering wheel repeatedly until the
standard display is shown (Y page 182).
X Press the 0001or0009 button on the
steering wheel repeatedly until the current
pressure of the individual tires is displayed
or the display shows the following
message:
