a trailer or on extreme slopes).•The vehicle is fitted with snow chains.•The emergency wheel is fitted.•The wheel on one axle is changed.

Following the modification to tyre pressure or changing one or more wheels,
button ⇒page 61, fig. 38 must be kept pressed while the ignition is on until
an acoustic signal is heard.
If the wheels are under excessive load (for example, driving with a trailer or
heavy load), the tyre pressure must be increased to the recommended value
for a full load (see the sticker on the inside of the fuel flap). If the tyre m onitor
system button is pressed down, the new tyre pressures are confirmed.
The tyre pressure monitor indicator
 lights up
If the tyre pressure of one wheel is much lower than the value set by the

avoid any sudden manoeuvre or braking. Stop when possible, and check
the tyre pressure and status.•The driver is responsible for maintaining correct tyre pressures. For this
reason, tyre pressures must be regularly checked.•Under certain circumstances (for example, when driving in a sports like
manner, in winter conditions or on a dirt track) the tyre monitor indicator
