Selecting load in the TPMS menu
fAdapt the pressure of the tires to the selected load type.Please see the chapter “VIEWING FILL INFO IN THE TPMS MENU” on page 108.
Information
If this menu is not displayed, the specified tire pressures are valid for all types of vehicle load.
Selecting comfort/standard pressure in the TPMS menu
For speeds up to 165 mph (270 km/h), the tire pressures can be reduced to increase suspension comfort.If you select “ Comfort press.”, the TPMS system automatically uses lower pressure values when monitoring tire pressure.
If “ Comfort press.” is deactivated or standard pressure is activated, the standard required pressures suitable for speeds up to the maximum vehicle speed are automatically monitored.
The comfort tire pressures are included in the technical dataorin “ Fill info” when the “Comfort press.” menu is activated.
Prolonged driving at low tire pressure or even short-term driving at high speeds on tires which have too low a pressure is likely to result in a loss of control of your vehicle, either due to a failure to maintain directional control under side loads or due to tire failure.
Tires are inflated to comfort pressure at the factory, which is not suitable for driving at very high speeds.fAlways adjust the pressure in the tires to the standard pressure setting when driving at higher speeds.fRemember to adjust the setting in the Tire Pressure Monitoring System accordingly.

“Comfort pressure Reduce speed“ warning
If the maximum speed of the preset comfort pressure is exceeded and the tire pressure is below a critical limit, a warning message appears on the multi-function display.
Driving at excessive speeds when the comfort pressure is active will destroy the tires.fReduce speed to below the displayed maximum speed.fAlways inflate the tires to the standard tire pressure when driving at higher speeds.
System learning
Tire Pressure Monitoring System begins to “learn” the tires after a wheel change, wheel transmitter replacement or update of the tire settings. During this process, TPMS recognizes the wheels and their locations.The message “ No tire pressure monitoring System is learning ” appears on the multi- function display.
The wheel learning process takes place exclusively when the vehicle is being driven (vehicle speed above 16 mph (25 km/h)).
TPMS requires a certain amount of time to learn the wheels. During this time, the current tire pressures are not available on the multi-function display:– The tire pressure warning light stays on until all wheels have been learned.– Lines (-.-) appear on the display of the “ TPMS” function.– The required pressures for cold tires (68 °F/20 °C) are shown under “ Fill info” in the “ TPMS” main menu.
Position and pressure information is displayed as soon as TPMS has assigned the wheels recognized as belonging to the vehicle to the correct wheel positions.fCheck the tire pressure for all wheels under “ Fill info”.fCorrect the tire pressure to the required pressure if necessary (differential pressure value “0.0”).
Tire pressure warnings
The tire pressure warning light on the instrument panel and a corresponding message on the multi-function display warn about loss of pressure in two stages (yellow and red), depending on the amount of pressure loss.

Yellow warning – “Top off air”
The pressure in the tire is more than 4 to 7 psi/ 0.3 to 0.5 bar/30 to 50 kPa too low. The tire pressure warning specifies the affected tire and the target tire pressure. fFill up with air at the next opportunity.
This tire pressure warning appears: – for approx. 10 seconds when the vehicle is stationary and the ignition is switched off or – when the ignition is switched on again.
The warning can be acknowledged when the ignition is switched on.The tire pressure warning light in the instrument panel goes out only when the tire pressure has been corrected (differential pressure value “0.0”).
Red warning – “Check tires”
At speeds below 100 mph (160 km/h): – The pressure in the tire has dropped by 20 % below the required pressure or by more than 7 psi/0.5 bar/50 kPa . This significant pressure loss is a danger to road safety.
At speeds above 100 mph (160 km/h): – The pressure in the tire has dropped by more than 6 psi/0.4 bar/40 kPa . This significant pressure loss is a danger to road safety.fWhen the tire pressure warning appears, stop immediately at a suitable location. Check the indicated tire for signs of damage. If necessary, fill in tire sealant and set the correct tire pressure.
This tire pressure warning also appears when driving and can be acknowledged. The tire pressure warning light in the instrument panel goes out only when the tire pressure has been corrected (differential pressure value “0.0”).
“Tire pressure Reduce speed” warning
At speeds above 165 mph (270 km/h): – The pressure in the tire has dropped by more than 4 psi/0.3 bar/30 kPa . This pressure loss is a danger to road safety.fWhen the tire pressure warning appears, reduce speed to below 165 mph (270 km/h) until the warning disappears.When driving at very high speeds, increase the tire pressure to the required pressure (differential pressure value “0.0”).
