Tyre Pressure Monitor
System
The tyre pressure monitoring
system (TPMS) checks the pressure
of all four wheels once a minute
when vehicle speed exceeds a
certain limit.
Caution
Tyre pressure monitoring system
warns only about low tyre
pressure condition and does not
replace regular tyre maintenance
by the driver.
All wheels must be equipped with
pressure sensors and the tyres
must have the prescribed pressure.
Note: In countries where the tyre
pressure monitoring system is
legally required, the use of wheels
without pressure sensors will
invalidate the vehicle type approval.
The current tyre pressures can be
shown in the Vehicle Information
Menu in the Driver Information
Centre (DIC). The menu can be selected by the
buttons on the indicator lever.
Press the
MENUto select the

g.
Turn the adjuster wheel to select the
tyre pressure monitoring system.
System status and pressure
warnings are displayed by a
message with the corresponding
tyre flashing in the DIC.
The system considers the tyre
temperature for the warnings.

TPMS Sensor Matching
Process
Each TPMS sensor has a unique
identification code. The identification
code must be matched to a new tyre/ wheel position after rotating the
tyres or exchanging the complete
wheel set and if one or more TPMS
sensors were replaced. The TPMS
sensor matching process should
also be performed after replacing a
spare tyre with a road tyre
containing the TPMS sensor.
The malfunction light and the
warning message or code should go
off at the next ignition cycle. The
sensors are matched to the tyre/
wheel positions, using a TPMS
relearn tool, in the following order :
Left side front tyre, right side front
tyre, right side rear tyre and left side
rear tyre. The turn light at the
current active position is illuminated
until sensor is matched.
Consult your workshop for service
or to purchase a relearn tool. You
have two minutes to match the first
tyre/ wheel position, and
five minutes overall to match all four
tyre/wheel positions. If it takes
longer, the matching process stops
and must be restarted.
The TPMS sensor matching process
is outlined below:
1. Apply the parking brake.
2. Turn the ignition on.
3. Move selector lever to neutral.
4. Use MENUon the indicator
lever to select the Vehicle
Information Men u in the
Driver Information
Centre (DIC).
5. Turn the adjuster wheel to scroll to the tyre
pressure menu.
6. Press SET/CLR to begin the
sensor matching process.
A message requesting
acceptance of the process
should display.
7. Press SET/CLR again to
confirm the selection. The horn
sounds twice to signal the
receiver is in relearn mode.
8. Start with the left side front tyre.
9. Place the relearn tool against the tyre sidewall, near the
valve stem. Then press the

button to activate the TPMS
sensor. A horn chirp confirms
that the sensor identification
code has been matched to this
tyre and wheel position.
10. Proceed to the right side front tyre, and repeat the procedure
in Step 9.
11. Proceed to the right side rear tyre, and repeat the procedure
in Step 9.
12. Proceed to the left side rear tyre, and repeat the procedure
in Step 9. The horn sounds
twice to indicate the sensor
identification code has been
matched to the left side rear
tyre, and the TPMS sensor
matching process is no longer
active.
13. Turn off the ignition.
14. Set all four tyres to the recommended air pressure
level as indicated on the tyre
pressure label. 15. Ensure the tyre loading status
is set according selected
pressure
0Driver Information
Centre (DIC) 075.
Temperature dependency
The tyre pressure depends on the
temperature of the tyre. During
driving, tyre temperature and
pressure increase. Tyre pressure
values provided on the tyre
information label and tyre pressure
chart are valid for cold tyres, which
means at 20 °C. The pressure
increases by nearly 10 kPa for a 10
°C temperature increase. This must
be considered when warm tyres are
checked.
The tyre pressure value displayed in
the DIC shows the real tyre
pressure. A cooled down tyre will
show a decreased value, which
does not indicate an air leak.
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.

184 Vehicle Care
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 to make other
vehicle modifications
After converting to a different tyre
size, have the label with tyre
pressures replaced.
{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.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.
{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 front wheels.
Always use fine mesh chains that
add no more than 10 mm to the tyre
tread and the inboard sides
(including chain lock).
{Warning
Damage may lead to tyre
blowout.
Tyre chains are only permitted on
tyres of size 165/65 R14.
Tyre chains are not permitted on
tyres of size 185/55 R15 and
195/45 R16.
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.

13. The prescribed tyre pressure(approx. 2.4 bar) should be
obtained within 10 minutes.
When the correct pressure is
obtained, switch off the
compressor.
If the prescribed tyre pressure
is not obtained within
10 minutes, remove the tyre
repair kit. Move the vehicle one
tyre rotation.
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 over the pressure
indicator.
Do not run the compressor
longer than 10 minutes. 14. Detach the tyre repair kit. Push
catch on bracket to remove
sealant bottle from bracket.

16. Take the label indicating maximum permitted speed
(approx. 50 mph) from the
sealant bottle and affix in the
driver's field of view.17. Continue driving immediatelyso that sealant is evenly
distributed in the tyre. After
driving approx. 6 miles (but no
more than 10 minutes), stop
and check tyre pressure.
Screw compressor air hose
directly onto tyre valve and
compressor when doing this.
If tyre pressure is more than
1.3 bar, set it to the correct
value (approx.2.4 bar).
Repeat the procedure until
there is no more loss of
pressure.
If the tyre pressure has fallen
below 1.3 bar, the vehicle must
not be used. Seek the
assistance of a workshop.
18. Stow away tyre repair kit in tailgate.
