4.1 General Information
Observe notes about usage in your owner's manual.
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System monitors tire pressure as
well as temperature when driving.
For passenger safety, always replace any damaged tire pressure
sensors or valves.
Do not clean tire pressure sensors with steam blasting or strong
compressed air.
For safety reasons, the tire pressure monitoring sensor should be
replaced and the rim cleaned after using tire sealant.
There is a Base Version (Low) or Comfort Version (High).
The Low version consist of a control module, a central antenna
and a tire pressure sensor in each wheel.
The High version also has a trigger in each wheel housing and
also recognizes the positions of the installed sensors.
To determine which version is installed, look at the vehicle data
label or in ELSA in Vehicle Individual under “Vehicle Data” by the
PR number, refer to ⇒ page 249 .
If wheel positions are changed on vehicle, wheels changed, the
tire pressure sensors replaced or pressures changed, this must
be confirmed in the MMI.
Note
♦ Check the VIN in ELSA to see which version is installed.
♦ Check the tire pressures and then adapt the tire pressure sen‐
sors using the MMI whenever changing a wheel with the tire
pressure sensor (summer/winter tires).
A Fault May be Saved in the DTC Memory if:
When installing less than four wheels with tire pressure sensors.
When installing winter tires or incorrect tire pressure sensors. (If
this is the case, the yellow indicator lamp in instrument cluster
“system malfunction diagram” is set and cannot be deactivated
by the system).
