Tires and wheels
Checking tire inflation pressure
electronically
The tire inflation pressure monitor only
functions on wheels that are equipped
with the proper electronic sensors. It
monitors the tire inflation pressure, as
selected by the driver, in all four tires. A
warning is issued to alert you to a de-
crease in tire inflation pressure in one or
more of the tires.
You can call up the tire inflation pressure
monitoring display using the control
system (
컄 page 157).

received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation of the device.
Any unauthorized modification to this device

i After you have reactivated the tire infla-
tion pressure monitor, the current tire infla-
tion pressures will only be shown after a few
minutes’ driving time.
During this time, you will see the following
message in the multifunction display:
TIRE PRES. DISPLAY
APPEARS AFTER
DRIVING A FEW
MINUTES
i Possible differences between the readings
of a tire inflation pressure gauge of an air
hose, e.g. gas station equipment, and the ve-
hicle’s control system can occur. The readings
issued by the control system are more precise.

Switch on the ignition (컄 page 60).
왘 Press button è or ÿ on the mul-
tifunction steering wheel repeatedly
until the standard display menu
appears in the multifunction display
(

왘 Press button j or k repeatedly
until the current tire inflation pres-
sures for each tire appear in the mul-
tifunction display.
Warning! G
When the tire inflation pressure monitor-
ing system warning light is lit, one or more
of your tires is significantly underinflated.
You should stop and check your tires as
soon as possible, and inflate them to the
proper tire inflation pressure as indicated
on the vehicle’s tire information placard.
Driving on a significantly underinflated
tire causes the tire to overheat and can
lead to tire failure. Underinflation also re-
duces fuel efficiency and tire tread life,
and may affect the vehicle’s handling and
stopping ability. Each tire, including the
spare, should be checked monthly when
cold and set to the recommended tire in-
flation pressure as specified in the vehicle
placard and owner’s manual.
