Tyre pressure monitor system
It should be calibrated with the vehicle stopped
and its tyres cold. If calibrated while the tyres
are hot, the pressure check and calibration pro-
cedure should be repeated when cold before
the next trip.
●
Switch the ignition on.
●
Save the new inflation pressure in the info-
tainment system: function button > Vehi-
cle > Exterior > Tyres ›››page41.
●
OR: > Vehicle > Status > Tyres.
After storing the new inflation pressure, a confir-
mation message will be displayed, the warning
light in the instrument cluster will flash briefly
and a driver alert tone will be played.
The tyre pressure loss indicator uses the
ABS sensors to compare the turns of each
wheel and, therefore, their tread circumferen-
ces, among other aspects. The set values are
collected and monitored after a long journey at
dierent speeds.
For example, if the wheels are under very heavy
loads, the tyre pressure must be increased to
the total recommended tyre pressure before
calibration ›››Fig.250.
WARNING
If the tyres are inflated to dierent pressures,
or to a pressure that is too low, a tyre may be
damaged and control of the vehicle may be
lost. This could lead to a serious or even fatal
accident.
●
If the lamp lights up, reduce speed im-
mediately and avoid any sudden turning or
braking manoeuvres. Stop as soon as possi-
ble, and check the pressure and status of all
tyres.
●
The tyre pressure loss indicator only works
correctly if all the tyres are at the correct
pressure when cold, and it is subsequently
calibrated according to the described pro-
cedure.
●
If the tyres have no punctures and do not
need to be replaced immediately, drive to
the nearest specialist workshop at low speed
and have the tyre pressure checked and cor-
rected.
Note
●
When driving for the first time with new
tyres at high speeds, the tyres may expand
slightly, which may result in an air pressure
warning.
●
If a low tyre pressure is detected when the
ignition is switched on, an audible warning
will sound. If the system fails, an audible sig-
nal sounds.
●
Driving on unpaved roads for a long period
of time, or sporty driving, may temporarily
deactivate the system. The warning lamp
shows a fault, but disappears when road
conditions or driving behaviour change.
●
Do not only rely on the tyre pressure mon-
itoring system. Check the tyres regularly to
ensure that the tyre pressures are correct
and that the tyres are free of damage such
as punctures, cuts, gouges and dents. Re-
move any non-puncturing objects from the
tyres.
●
The tyre pressure monitoring indicator
does not function when there is a fault in the
ESC or ABS ›››page187.
Troubleshooting
Low tyre pressure
The control lamp switches on yellow.
The inflation pressure of one or more wheels is
much lower than the value set by the driver, or
the tyre has structural damage. In addition, a
audible warning sounds and a text message is
displayed on the instrument panel screen.
●
Stop the vehicle! Stop the vehicle as soon
as possible in a safe place.
●
Check all tyres and pressures.
●
Replace any damaged tyres.
