Warning “When vehicle stops,
Hit selection”If you drive off after changing a wheel or inflating
the tires and neglect to make a selection in the
screen SELECTION AFTER WARNING, the following
message will appear:
WHEN VEHICLE STOPS, HIT SELECTION.
fThe next time you stop the vehicle, perform
the settings in the “Selection after warning”.
Wheel change messageThe WHEEL CHANGE? message CHECK
SETTINGS appears after a wheel change, if the
tire type and tire size of the new tires have not
been set in the TIRE PRESSURE > SETTINGS
menu.
When the vehicle is stationary, the display
changes to SELECTION AFTER WARNING.
fPlease observe the chapter “SELECTION
AFTER WARNING” on Page 110.
fSelect WHEEL CHANGE. The menu automati-
cally changes to TIRE TYPE.
fSelect the appropriate tire type and tire size.
Only if the tire type and size are selected will
the tire pressure monitoring re-learn the tires.
Message “Spare wheel or sealing set
operation”The message SPARE WHEEL OR SEALING SET
OPERATION? appears after switching on the igni-
tion if a spare wheel type (spare wheel, collapsible
spare wheel, or sealing set) was set.
fSelect YES or NO with the rocker switch.
fPress RESET switch.

Controls, Safety, Instruments Ye s :
– In case of sealing-set operation, the menu
changes directly to the basic screen. All
settings are retained.
– If the vehicle is operated with a collapsible
spare wheel or spare wheel, the warning mes-
sage “SYSTEM NOT ACTIVE, WORKSHOP” is
initially displayed for 10 seconds. The system
then returns to the basic screen.
No:
The display automatically returns to the menu TIRE
PRESSURE > SETTINGS.
fSet the mounted tire set with tire type and tire
size. The system will re-learn the tires.
No monitoringIn the event of faults the tire pressure monitoring
cannot monitor the tire pressure.
The warning light on the instrument panel and a
message on the multi-purpose display light up.
Monitoring is not active when:
– the tire pressure monitoring is faulty,
– wheel transmitters for the tire pressure
monitoring are not present,
– temporarily after changing a wheel,
– has detected too many wheel transmitters,
– there is external interference by other radio
sources, e.g., wireless headphones,
– Tire temperatures are too high.
fPlease observe the chapter “WARNING LIGHTS
AND WARNING MESSAGES” on Page 122.All warnings and messages in the tire pressure
monitoring are also indicated by the warning light
in the instrument panel.
The warning light goes out as soon as all faults are
remedied.

3 - Flat-tire warning (as of -6 psi/-0.4 bar)
In accordance with physical principles, the air
pressure changes as the temperature changes.
The tire pressure increases or decreases by
around 1.5 psi (0.1 bar) for a temperature change
of 50°F (10°C).Tire pressure specificationsThe tire pressure must match the prescribed value
(required pressure).
You can find information on the tire pressure for
cold tires (68°F/20°C):
– In the TIRE PRESSURE menu (filling informa-
tion):
As a deviation from the required pressure for
each wheel if the system has learned the
values.
– In the TIRE PRESSURE menu (filling informa-
tion):
As a required pressure for each axle if the
system has not learned the values.
– On the tire pressure plate in the front left door
aperture for each wheel.
– In this Owner’s Manual
Please observe the chapter “TIRE PRES-
SURES, COLD” on Page 370.Insufficient tire pressure can cause tires to
overheat and thus be damaged – even invisibly.
Hidden tire damage is not eliminated by subse-
quently correcting the tire pressure.
fPlease observe the chapter “TIRES/WHEELS”
on Page 285.
