If the vehicle is unlocked using a remote con‐
trol, the assigned personal profile will be acti‐
vated. All settings stored in the profile are auto‐
matically applied.
If several drivers use their own remote control,
the vehicle will adjust the personal settings dur‐
ing unlocking. These settings are also restored,
if the vehicle has been used in the meantime
by a person with a different remote control.
Changes to the settings are automatically saved
in the personal profile.
Three personal profiles and a guest profile can
be created.

After installing a child seat, make sure that the
indicator lamp for the front-seat passenger air‐
bags lights up. This indicates that the child seat
has been detected and the front-seat passen‐
ger airbags are not activated.
Strength of the driver's and front-seat
passenger airbag
The explosive power that activates driver's/
front passenger's airbags very much depends
on the positions of the driver's/front passeng‐
er's seat.
With a respective message appearing on Con‐
trol Display calibrate the front seats to keep the
accuracy of this function over the long-term.
Calibrating the front seats
A corresponding message appears on the Con‐
trol Display.1.Move the respective seat all the way for‐
ward.2.Move the respective seat forward again. It
moves forward briefly.3.Readjust the seat to the desired position.
The calibration procedure is completed when
the message on the Control Display disappears.
If the message continues to be displayed, re‐
peat the calibration.
If the message does not disappear after a re‐
peat calibration, have the system checked as
soon as possible.
Unobstructed area of movement
Ensure that the area of movement of the
seats is unobstructed to avoid personal injury
or damage to objects. ◀
Tire Pressure Monitor
TPM
The concept The system monitors tire inflation pressure in
the four mounted tires. The system warns you if
there is a significant loss of pressure in one or
more tires. For this purpose, sensors in the tire
valves measure the tire inflation pressure.
Hints Tire damage due to external factors
Sudden tire damage caused by external
circumstances cannot be recognized in ad‐
vance. ◀
With use of the system observe further infor‐
mation found under Tire inflation pressure, re‐
fer to page 174.
Functional requirements
The system must have been reset with the cor‐
rect tire inflation pressure; otherwise, reliable
signaling of tire pressure loss is not assured.
Reset the system after each adjustment of the
tire inflation pressure and after every tire or
wheel change.
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.
On the Control Display:1. "Vehicle info"2."Vehicle status"3. "Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM)"

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 due to a
malfunction.
Status information The status control display additionally shows
the current tire inflation pressures. It shows the
actual values read; they may vary depending
on driving style or weather conditions.
Carry out reset
Reset the system after each adjustment of the
tire inflation pressure and after every tire or
wheel change.
On the Control Display and on the vehicle:1. "Vehicle info"2."Vehicle status"3. "Perform reset"4.Start the engine - do not drive off.5.Reset the tire inflation pressure using

The tires are shown in gray and the status is
displayed.
After driving faster than 19 mph/30 km/h for a
short period, the set tire inflation pressures are
accepted as reference values. The resetting
process is completed automatically while driv‐
ing. After successful completion of the reset,
the tires appear in green on the Control Display
and "Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) active" is dis‐ played.
The progress of the reset is displayed.
You may interrupt this trip at any time. When
you continue the reset resumes automatically.
Low tire pressure message The yellow warning lamp lights up. A
Check Control message is displayed.▷There is a flat tire or a major loss in
tire inflation pressure.▷A reset of the system was not carried out
after a wheel was changed. The system
therefore issues a warning based on the tire
pressures before the last reset.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 182, are la‐
beled with a circular symbol containing the
letters RSC marked on the tire's sidewall.
Do not continue driving without run-flat
tires
Do not continue driving if the vehicle is not
equipped with run-flat tires; continued driving
may result in serious accidents. ◀
