Actions in the event of a flat tire
Standard tires
1. Identify the damaged tire.
To do this, check the tire pressure in
all four tires, for instance using the tire
pressure display of a flat tire kit.
If the tire pressure in all four tires is
correct, the Tire Pressure Monitor may
not have been reset. In this case, per-
form the reset.
If the tire inflation pressure in all four
tires is correct, the flat tire monitor may
not have been initialized. In this case,
initialize the system.
If tire damage cannot be identified, con-
