Introduction to the topic
The tyre monitoring system warns the driver if
the tyre pressure is too low.
The intelligent technology of the tyre control
system cannot overcome the limits imposed by the
laws of physics and only works within the limits of
the system. Improper handling of wheels and
tyres can cause sudden loss of pressure, tread
separation and even tyre blowout.
•
Check the tyre pressure regularly and always
keep to the specified values → page 227.
If the tyre is too low, the tyre could become
so hot that the tread could detach and the
tyre could burst.
•
Always maintain the correct tyre pressure
according to the tyre pressure sticker,
measured when the tyres are cold → p. 227.
•
Check the tyre pressure regularly when the
tyres are cold. If necessary, check the tyre
pressure regularly when the tyres are cold.

Tyre
control systems
The following tyre control systems are available for
this vehicle:
Tyre control system
—
It monitors various parameters (e.g. rolling
circumference) of all four tyres during driving by
means of the ABS sensors (indirect
measurement).
The reference pressure of the tyre monitoring
system is the recommended pressure for the
factory-fitted tyres, measured when the tyres are
cold and the vehicle is fully loaded. The reference
pressure corresponds to the data on the tyre
pressure sticker → p. 227.
If the correct tyre pressure has been set for all
four tyres, the tyre monitoring system must be
readjusted → p. 222. This adapts the reference
pressure to the current tyre pressure.
