display. The tyre pressures are already being
monitored.
i If an emergency spare wheel is fitted, the
system may continue to show the tyre pres-
sure of the wheel that has been removed
for a few minutes. If this occurs, note that
the value displayed for the position where
the spare wheel is fitted is not the same as
the current tyre pressure of the emergency
spare wheel.
Warning messages of the tyre pressure
monitor
If the tyre pressure monitor detects a pres-
sure loss in one or more tyres, a warning mes-
sage is shown in the multifunction display and
the yellow tyre pressure monitor warning light
comes on.
R
If the Please correct tyre pressure
message appears in the multifunction dis-
play, the tyre pressure in at least one tyre
is too low and must be corrected at the next
opportunity.
R
If the Check tyre(s) message appears in
the multifunction display, the tyre pressure
in one or more tyres has dropped signifi-
cantly and the tyres must be checked.
R
If the Warning tyre defect message
appears in the multifunction display, the
tyre pressure in one or more tyres has drop-
ped suddenly and the tyres must be
checked.
Observe the instructions and safety notes in
the display messages in the "Tyres" section
(
Y
page 312).
i If the wheel positions on the vehicle are
interchanged, the tyre pressures may be
displayed for the wrong positions for a
short time. This is rectified after a few
minutes of driving and the tyre pressures
are displayed for the correct positions.
Restarting the tyre pressure monitor
When you restart the tyre pressure monitor,
all existing warning messages are deleted and
the warning lamps go out. The monitor uses
the currently set tyre pressures as the refer-
ence values for monitoring. In most cases, the
tyre pressure monitor will automatically
detect the new reference values after you
have changed the tyre pressure. However,
you can also define reference values man-
ually as described here. The tyre pressure
monitor then monitors the new tyre pressure
values.
