Note
•
Driving for the rst time with new tyres at
a high speed can cause them to slightly ex-
pand, which could then produce an air pres-
sure warning.
•
If excessively low tyre pressure is detected
with the ignition on, an audible warning will
sound. In the event that there is a fault in the
system, an audible warning will sound.
•
Driving on unpaved roads for a long pe-
riod of time, or sporty driving, may tempora-
rily deactivate the system. The control lamp
shows a fault, but disappears when road con-
ditions or the driving style change.
•
Do not only rely on the tyre pressure moni-
toring system. Regularly check your tyres to
ensure that the tyre pressure is correct and
that the tyres are not damaged due to punc-
ture, cuts, tears and impacts/dents. Remove
objects from the tyres only when they have
not pierced the tyres.
•
The tyre pressure monitoring indicator
does not function when there is a fault in the
ESC or ABS ››› page 151.

TMS (Tyre Mobility System) punc-
ture repair kit
The puncture repair kit (Tyre Mobility System)
will reliably seal punctures caused by the pene-
tration of a foreign body of up to about 4 mm
in diameter. Do not remove foreign objects,
e.g. screws or nails, from the tyre.
After inserting the sealant residue in the tyre,
you must again check the tyre pressure about
10 minutes after starting the engine.
You should only use the tyre mobility set if the
vehicle is parked in a safe place, you are famil-
iar with the procedure and you have the nec-
essary tyre mobility set. Otherwise, you should
seek professional assistance.
Do not use the tyre sealant in the following
cases:
•
If the wheel rim has been damaged.
•
In outside temperatures below -20°C (-4°F).
•
In the event of cuts or perforations in the tyre
greater than 4 mm.
•
If you have been driving with very low pres-
sure or a completely at tyre.
•
If the sealant bottle has passed its use by
date.
WARNING
Using the puncture repair kit can be danger-
ous, particularly when lling the tyre on the
roadside. To reduce the risk of serious injury,
consider the following:
•
Stop the vehicle safely as soon as possible.
Park it at a safe distance from surrounding
traic to ll the tyre.
•
Ensure the ground on which you park is at
and solid.
•
All passengers and particularly children
must keep a safe distance from the work
area.
•
Turn on the hazard warning lights to warn
other road users.
•
Apply the electronic parking brake and
switch o the drive system.
•
Use the tyre mobility system only if you
are familiar with the necessary procedures.
Otherwise, you should seek professional as-
sistance.
•
The tyre mobility set is intended for tem-
porary emergency use only until you can
reach the nearest specialised workshop.
•
Replace the repaired tyre with the tyre mo-
bility set as soon as possible.
•
The sealant is a health hazard and must be
cleaned immediately if it comes into contact
with the skin.
•
Always keep the tyre mobility set out of the
reach of small children.
