TPMS Sensor Matching
Process
Each TPMS sensor has a unique
identification code. The identification
code must be matched to a new tyre/ wheel position after rotating the
tyres or exchanging the complete
wheel set and if one or more TPMS
sensors were replaced. The TPMS
sensor matching process should
also be performed after replacing a
spare tyre with a road tyre
containing the TPMS sensor.
The malfunction light and the
warning message or code should go
off at the next ignition cycle. The
sensors are matched to the tyre/
wheel positions, using a TPMS
relearn tool, in the following order :
Left side front tyre, right side front
tyre, right side rear tyre and left side
rear tyre. The turn light at the
current active position is illuminated
until sensor is matched.
Consult your workshop for service
or to purchase a relearn tool. You
have two minutes to match the first
tyre/ wheel position, and
five minutes overall to match all four
tyre/wheel positions. If it takes
longer, the matching process stops
and must be restarted.
The TPMS sensor matching process
is outlined below:
1. Apply the parking brake.
2. Turn the ignition on.
3. Move selector lever to neutral.
4. Use MENUon the indicator
lever to select the Vehicle
Information Men u in the
Driver Information
Centre (DIC).
5. Turn the adjuster wheel to scroll to the tyre
pressure menu.
6. Press SET/CLR to begin the
sensor matching process.
A message requesting
acceptance of the process
should display.
7. Press SET/CLR again to
confirm the selection. The horn
sounds twice to signal the
receiver is in relearn mode.
8. Start with the left side front tyre.
9. Place the relearn tool against the tyre sidewall, near the
valve stem. Then press the

button to activate the TPMS
sensor. A horn chirp confirms
that the sensor identification
code has been matched to this
tyre and wheel position.
10. Proceed to the right side front tyre, and repeat the procedure
in Step 9.
11. Proceed to the right side rear tyre, and repeat the procedure
in Step 9.
12. Proceed to the left side rear tyre, and repeat the procedure
in Step 9. The horn sounds
twice to indicate the sensor
identification code has been
matched to the left side rear
tyre, and the TPMS sensor
matching process is no longer
active.
13. Turn off the ignition.
14. Set all four tyres to the recommended air pressure
level as indicated on the tyre
pressure label. 15. Ensure the tyre loading status
is set according selected
pressure
0Driver Information
Centre (DIC) 075.
Temperature dependency
The tyre pressure depends on the
temperature of the tyre. During
driving, tyre temperature and
pressure increase. Tyre pressure
values provided on the tyre
information label and tyre pressure
chart are valid for cold tyres, which
means at 20 °C. The pressure
increases by nearly 10 kPa for a
10 °C temperature increase. This
must be considered when warm
tyres are checked.
The tyre pressure value displayed in
the DIC shows the real tyre
pressure. A cooled down tyre will
show a decreased value, which
does not indicate an air leak.
Tread Depth
Check tread depth at regular
intervals. Tyres should be replaced for safety
reasons at a tread depth of 2-3 mm
(4 mm for winter tyres).
For safety reasons it is
recommended that the tread depth
of the tyres on one axle should not
vary by more than 2 mm.
The legally permissible minimum
tread depth (1.6 mm) has been
reached when the tread has worn
down as far as one of the tread
wear indicators (TWI). Their position
is indicated by markings on the
sidewall.

190 Vehicle Care
Towing the Vehicle
If towing service is not available in
an emergency, your vehicle may be
temporarily towed by a rope secured
to the emergency towing eye.
Disengage cap by using the
screwdriver and remove the cap.
The towing eye is stowed with the
vehicle tools.
SeeTools 0173.
Screw in the towing eye as far as it
will go until it stops in a horizontal
position. (Should be contact with
tow nut.)
Attach a tow rope or better still a
tow rod to the towing eye.
The towing eye must only be used
for towing and not for recovering the
vehicle.
Switch on ignition to release
steering column lock and to permit
operation of brake lights, horn and
windscreen wipers.
Transmission in neutral.
Caution
Drive slowly. Do not drive jerkily.
Excessive tractive force can
damage the vehicle.
When the engine is not running,
considerably more force is needed
to brake and steer.
To prevent the entry of exhaust
fumes from the towing vehicle,
switch on the air recirculation and
close the windows.
The vehicle must be towed facing
forward, not faster than 88 km/h. In
all other cases and when the
transmission is defective, the front
axle must be raised off the ground.
Seek the assistance of a workshop.
After towing, unscrew the
towing eye.
Insert cap and close cap.
