Care and maintenance
fKeep belt buckles free of any obstruction that
may prevent a secure locking.
fBelts that have been subjected to excessive
stretch forces in an accident must be inspect-
ed or replaced to ensure their continued effec-
tiveness in restraining you.
The same applies to belt tensioner systems
which have been triggered. In addition, the an-
chor points of the belts should be checked.

Tire pressure screenIndication of tire pressures on the basic
screen "Tire pressure"
The basic screen "Tire pressure" shows the cur-
rent actual values of the tire pressures. These val-
ues would be identical to those of a pressure gage
connected to the four valves. These pressures
change while the vehicle is being driven.
– The tire pressures increase as the temperature
in the tires rises, e.g. during high-speed high-
way driving.
– The tire pressures decrease as the tempera-
tures drop, e.g. during trips in cold regions
(such as mountains).
The pressure changes by around 1.5 psi (0.1 bar)
for a temperature change of 50°F (10°C).The values displayed on the basic screen there-
fore do not allow conclusions to be drawn about
possible pressure deviations.
fUse the pressure differences shown in the TIRE
PRESSURE menu or from tire pressure mes-
sages or warnings when correcting the tire
pressure.
Filling informationTire pressure menu display
MAIN MENU > TIRE PRESSURE
(only when vehicle is stationary)
Deviations in the tire pressures from the required
pressure are shown in the TIRE PRESSURE menu
(filling information). The tire pressure monitoring
takes this relationship between tire pressure and
temperature into account.
A “–” in front of the value indicates a pressure loss.
fThe tire pressures must be adjusted to the re-
quired pressure.
Example: If the tire pressure display shows
“–3 psi”, you must increase the tire pressure by
3psi.
