Relearn function
After changing the wheels, TPMS
needs to recalculate.
With the vehicle stationary, select the tyre pressure menu in the Driver
Information Centre by pressing button
on end of wiper lever. Press and hold button for approx. 3 seconds to
initialise recalculation. A
corresponding message appears in
the Driver Information Centre.
Several minutes of driving may be
required to complete the relearn
process.
If problems occur during the relearn
process, a warning message is
displayed in the Driver Information
Centre.
Driver Information Centre 3 84.
Vehicle messages 3 85.
General information The use of commercially available
liquid tyre repair kits can impair the
function of the system. Factory-
approved tyre repair kits can be used.
Tyre repair kit 3 161.
External high-power radio equipment
could disrupt the TPMS.
Each time the tyres are replaced,
TPMS sensors must be dismounted
and serviced by a workshop.
Fault The TPMS will not function properly if
one or more of the sensors are
missing or inoperable. When the
system detects a malfunction, w
flashes for several seconds and then
illuminates. Additionally a
corresponding message appears in
the Driver Information Centre.Control indicator w and the
corresponding message appear at
each ignition cycle until the problem
is corrected.
Some of the conditions that can
cause these to appear are:
■ One of the tyres has been replaced
with the spare tyre which does not
have a TPMS sensor.
■ The TPMS sensor relearn process was not completed successfully.
Control indicator w and the
corresponding message should
extinguish after successfully
completing the sensor relearn
process.
■ One or more TPMS sensors are missing or damaged. Control
indicator w and the corresponding
message should extinguish when the TPMS sensors are installed and
the sensor relearn process is
performed successfully. Consult a
workshop for service.
■ Replacement tyres or wheels do not match the original equipment
tyres or wheels. Tyres and wheels
Page 162 of 209

160Vehicle care
other than those recommended
could prevent the TPMS from
functioning properly.
■ Operating electronic devices or being near facilities using radio
wave frequencies similar to the
TPMS could cause the TPMS
sensors to malfunction.
If the TPMS is not functioning
properly, it cannot detect or signal
a low tyre condition. Consult a
workshop for service if control
indicator w illuminates and a
corresponding message appears in the Driver Information Centre.
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.
If there is more wear at the front than
the rear, swap round front wheels and rear wheels periodically. Ensure that
the direction of rotation of the wheels
is the same as before.
Tyres age, even if they are not used.
We recommend tyre replacement
every 6 years.
Changing tyre and wheel
size
If tyres of a different size than those
fitted at the factory are used, it may be necessary to reprogramme the
speedometer as well as the nominal tyre pressure and make other vehicle modifications.
After converting to a different tyre
size, have the label with tyre
pressures replaced.9 Warning
Use of unsuitable tyres or wheels
may lead to accidents and will
invalidate the vehicle type
approval.
Wheel covers
Wheel covers and tyres that are
factory approved for the respective
vehicle and comply with all of the
relevant wheel and tyre combination requirements must be used.
Page 163 of 209

Vehicle care161
If the wheel covers and tyres used are
not factory approved, the tyres must
not have a rim protection ridge.
Wheel covers must not impair brake
cooling.9 Warning
Use of unsuitable tyres or wheel
covers could lead to sudden
pressure loss and thereby
accidents.
Tyre chains
Tyre chains are only permitted on the
drive wheels.
On vehicles with twin rear wheels,
tyre chains are only permitted on the
outer wheels.
Always use fine mesh chains that add no more than 15 mm to the tyre tread
and the inboard sides (including chain lock).9 Warning
Damage may lead to tyre blowout.
Wheel covers on steel wheels may
come into contact with parts of the
chains. In such cases, remove the
wheel covers.
Tyre chains may only be used at
speeds up to 30 mph and, when
travelling on roads that are free of
snow, they may only be used for brief
periods since they are subject to rapid wear on a hard road and may snap.
The use of tyre chains is not permitted on the temporary spare wheel.
Tyre repair kit
Minor damage to the tyre tread can be
repaired with the tyre repair kit.
Do not remove foreign bodies from
the tyres.
Tyre damage exceeding 4 mm or that
is at the tyre's sidewall near the rim
cannot be repaired with the tyre repair kit.9 Warning
Do not drive faster than 50 mph.
Do not use for a lengthy period.
Steering and handling may be
affected.
If the vehicle has a flat tyre:
Apply the parking brake and engage
first gear or reverse gear.
The tyre repair kit is located under the
front seat. Slide seat forwards fully
and fold backrest down to access kit.

tyre valve.
8. The rocker switch on the compressor must be set to
position O.
9. Connect the red < power supply
lead on the compressor to the
jump start terminal 3 168.
10. Connect the black ] power
supply lead to a vehicle grounding
point, e.g. the engine block or an
engine mounting bolt.
Notice
Depending on tyre repair kit type, it
may be necessary to connect the
single power supply lead to the
power outlet or cigarette lighter
socket.
For this type, the red < and
black ] power supply leads will not
be present.
To avoid discharging the battery,
we recommend running the
engine.
11. Set the rocker switch on the compressor to position I. The tyre
is filled with sealant.

Vehicle care163
13. All of the sealant is pumped intothe tyre. Then the tyre is inflated.
14. The prescribed tyre pressure should be obtained within
10 minutes. Tyre pressure
3 198 . When the correct pressure
is obtained, turn off the
compressor by setting rocker
switch to position O.
If the prescribed tyre pressure is
not obtained within 10 minutes,
remove the tyre repair kit. Move
the vehicle one tyre rotation
(approx. 2 metres). Reattach the
tyre repair kit and continue the
filling procedure for 10 minutes. If
the prescribed tyre pressure is still not obtained, the tyre is too badly
damaged. Seek the assistance of
a workshop.
Drain excess tyre pressure with
the button beside the pressure
indicator.
Do not run the compressor for
longer than 10 minutes.
15. Detach the tyre repair kit. Screw the sealant filler hose to the free
connection on the sealant bottle.
This prevents sealant from
escaping. Stow tyre repair kit
under the front seat.
16. Remove any excess sealant using a cloth.
17. Take the label indicating maximum permitted speed from
the tyre repair kit and affix in the
driver's field of view.
18. Continue driving immediately so that the sealant is evenly
distributed throughout the tyre.
After driving approx. 6 miles, but
no more than 10 minutes, stop
and check tyre pressure using the
compressor. Screw compressor
air hose directly onto tyre valve
and compressor when doing this.
19. If the tyre pressure is more than 3.1 bar , set it to the correct value.
Repeat the procedure until there
is no more loss of pressure.
If the tyre pressure has fallen
below 3.1 bar, the vehicle must
