Status display
Current status
The status of the system, for example whether
the system is active, can be shown on the Con‐
trol Display.
Via iDrive:
1. "CAR"
2. "Vehicle status"
3. "Tyre Pressure Monitor"
The current status is displayed.
Current tyre inflation pressure
The current tyre inflation pressure is displayed
for each tyre.
The current tyre inflation pressures can vary de‐
pending on vehicle operation or outside temper‐
ature.
Current tyre temperature
Depending on the model, the current tyre tem‐
peratures are shown.
The current tyre temperatures can change as a
result of vehicle operation or the outside temper‐
ature.
Specified pressure
The specified pressure for the tyres on the front
and rear axle is displayed.
The specified pressure takes account of the
temperature effects caused by vehicle operation
and the outside temperature. Regardless of the
weather conditions, tyre temperatures and length
of journey, the appropriate specified pressure is
always displayed.
The displayed specified pressure may vary and
differ from the value stated in the tyre inflation
pressure information on the door pillar of the
driver's door. The tyre inflation pressure can thus
be corrected to the value of the displayed speci‐
fied pressures.
The specified pressure is adjusted immediately if
the load status is changed in the tyre settings.
Tyre statuses
General
The status of the system and tyres is indicated
by the wheel colour and message on the Control
Display.
If applicable, existing messages are not deleted if
the displayed specified pressure is not reached
on correction of the tyre inflation pressure.
