Status displayThe current status of the Flat Tire Monitor can
be displayed on the Control Display, e.g.,
whether or not the FTM is active.1."Vehicle Info"2."Vehicle status"3."Flat Tire Monitor"
The status is displayed.
Initialization The initialization process adopts the set infla‐
tion tire pressures as reference values for the
detection of a flat tire. Initialization is started by
confirming the inflation pressures.
Do not initialize the system when driving with
snow chains.

which can be interrupted at any time. The initi‐
alization automatically continues when driving
resumes.
Indication of a flat tire The warning lights come on in yellow
and red. A message appears on the
Control Display. In addition, a signal
sounds.
There is a flat tire or a major loss in tire inflation
pressure.1.Reduce your speed and stop cautiously.
Avoid sudden braking and steering maneu‐
vers.2.Check whether the vehicle is fitted with
regular tires or run-flat tires.
Run-flat tires, refer to page 226, are la‐
beled with a circular symbol containing the
letters RSC marked on the tire sidewall.
WARNING
A damaged regular tire with low or miss‐
ing tire inflation pressure impacts handling,
such as steering and braking response. Run-flat
tires can maintain limited stability. There is risk
of an accident. Do not continue driving if the
vehicle is not equipped with run-flat tires. Fol‐
low the information on run-flat tires and con‐
tinued driving with these tires. ◀
When a flat tire is indicated, DSC Dynamic Sta‐
bility Control is switched on if necessary.
Actions in the event of a flat tire
Normal tires
1.Identify the damaged tire.
Do this by checking the inflation pressure in
all four tires.
The tire pressure gauge of the Mobility Sys‐
tem, refer to page 226, can be used for this
purpose.Seite 86CONTROLSSafety86
Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 964 459 - VI/15

If the tire inflation pressure in all four tires is
correct, the Flat Tire Monitor may not have
been initialized. In this case, initialize the
system.
If identification of flat tire damage is not
possible, please contact a dealer’s service
center or another qualified service center or
repair shop.2.Rectify the flat tire using the Mobility Sys‐
tem, refer to page 226.
Run-flat tires
You can continue driving with a damaged tire
at speeds up to 50 mph/80 km/h.
Continued driving with a flat tire
If continuing to drive with a damaged tire:
1.Avoid sudden braking and steering maneu‐
vers.2.Do not exceed a speed of 50 mph/80 km/h.3.At the next opportunity, check the inflation
pressure in all four tires.
If the tire inflation pressure in all four tires is
correct, the Flat Tire Monitor may not have
been initialized. In this case, initialize the
system.
Possible driving distance with complete loss of
tire inflation pressure:
The possible driving distance after a loss of tire
inflation pressure depends on the cargo load
and the driving style and conditions.
For a vehicle containing an average load, the
possible driving distance is ap‐
prox. 50 miles/80 km.
When the vehicle is driven with a damaged tire,
its handling characteristics change, e.g., re‐
duced lane stability during braking, a longer
braking distance, and altered self-steering
properties. Adjust your driving style accord‐
ingly. Avoid abrupt steering maneuvers or driv‐
ing over obstacles, e. g., curbs, potholes, etc.
Because the possible driving distance depends
on how the vehicle is used during the trip, the
actual distance may be smaller or greater de‐
pending on the driving speed, road conditions,
external temperature, cargo load, etc.
WARNING
Your vehicle handles differently when a
run-flat tire is damaged and has low or missing
tire inflation pressure, e.g., your lane stability is
reduced when braking, braking distances are
longer and the self-steering properties will
change. There is risk of an accident.
Drive moderately and do not exceed a speed of
50 mph/80 km/h. ◀
Final tire failure
Vibrations or loud noises while driving can indi‐
cate the final failure of a tire. Reduce speed and
stop, otherwise, pieces of the tire could come
loose and cause an accident. Do not continue
driving. Contact a dealer’s service center or an‐
other qualified service center or repair shop.
Tire Pressure Monitor
TPM
The concept
The system monitors the tire pressure in the
four mounted tires. The system notifies you if
there is a significant loss of pressure in one or
more tires. Sensors in the tire valves measure
the tire pressure.
Information
To operate the system, also note the additional
information and instructions contained under
Tire inflation pressure, refer to page 218.
Functional requirements
The system must have been reset while the in‐
flation pressure was correct; otherwise, it may
not reliably signal a loss in pressure.Seite 87SafetyCONTROLS87
Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 964 459 - VI/15

Perform a system reset after adjusting the tire
inflation pressure to a new value and after
changing a tire or wheel
Always use wheels with TPM electronics to en‐
sure that the system will operate properly.
Status display The current status of the Tire Pressure Monitor
TPM can be displayed on the Control Display,
e.g., whether or not the TPM is active.1."Vehicle Info"2."Vehicle status"3."Tire Pressure Monitor - TPM"
The status is displayed.
Status display The tire and system status is indicated on the
Control Display by the color of the tires and a
text.
All wheels are green The system is active and issues warnings based
on the tire inflation pressures stored during the
last reset.
One wheel is yellow A flat tire or major drop in inflation pressure in
the indicated tire.
All wheels are yellow A flat tire or major drop in inflation pressure in
several tires.
Wheels, gray
The system cannot detect a flat tire.
Reasons for this may be:▷The system is being reset.▷Malfunction.
Performing a reset
Perform a system reset after adjusting the tire
inflation pressure to a new value and after
changing a tire or wheel.
1."Vehicle Info"2."Vehicle status"3."Reset"4.Start the engine - do not drive away.5.Start the initialization with "Reset".6.Drive away.
The wheels are shown in gray and the status is
displayed.
After a short trip at over 20 mph/30 km/h, the
set tire inflation pressures are adopted as tar‐
get values. The reset is completed automati‐
cally as you drive.
After a successful reset, the wheels appear in
green on the Control Display and "Status: TPM
active" is displayed.
The trip can be interrupted at any time. When
driving resumes, the reset is continued auto‐
matically.

ics. In this case, have the electronics
checked at the next opportunity and have
them replaced if necessary.
