Tyre pressure
with tyre pressure control
(RDC) OE
In addition to the
MY VEHICLE
menu screen and the Check
Control messages, there is also
the
TYRE PRESSURE
screen
for showing the tyre pressures:
The values on the left are for
the front wheel; those on the
right are for the rear wheel.
Actual and specified tyre
pressures and the difference
between them are displayed
for each wheel.
Immediately after the ignition
is switched on, only dashes
are displayed. The sensors
do not start transmitting tyre
pressure signals until the first
time the vehicle accelerates to
more than the minimum speed
stated below:
RDC sensor is not active
min 30 km/h (The RDC
sensor does not transmit its
signal to the vehicle until a
certain minimum speed has
been reached.)
The tyre pressures
are shown in the TFT
display as temperature
compensated and always
refer to the following tyre air
temperature:
20 °C
If the tyre symbol ap-
pears as well, showing
yellow or red, this is a warn-
ing. The pressure difference is
highlighted with a exclamation
mark in the same colour.
If the value in question is
close to the limit of the
permissible tolerance range,
the reading is accompanied
by the 'General' warning light
showing yellow.
The 'General' warning
light flashes red if the
tyre pressure registered by the
sensor is outside the permiss-
ible tolerance range.
