After a teach-in period, the tire pressure
monitor automatically recognizes new wheels
or new sensors. If a clear allocation of the tire
pressure values to the individual wheels is not
possible, the
Tire Pressure Monitor
Active
message is shown instead of the tire
pressure display. The tire pressures are
already being monitored.
i If an emergency spare wheel is mounted,
the system may continue to show the tire
pressure 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 mounted
is not the same as the current tire pressure
of the emergency spare wheel.
Tire pressure monitor warning
messages
If the tire pressure monitor detects a
significant pressure loss on one or more tires,
a warning message is shown in the
multifunction display. A warning tone also
sounds and the tire pressure warning lamp
lights up in the instrument cluster.
Each tire that is affected by a significant loss
of pressure is highlighted in the pressure
display.

If the
Correct Tire Pressure
message
appears in the multifunction display, check
the tire pressure on all four wheels and
correct it if necessary.
i
If the wheel positions on the vehicle are
interchanged, the tire pressures may be
displayed for the wrong positions for a
short time. This is rectified after a few
minutes of driving, and the tire pressures
are displayed for the correct positions.
Restarting the tire pressure monitor
When you restart the tire pressure monitor,
all existing warning messages are deleted and
the warning lamps go out. The monitor uses
the currently set tire pressures as the
reference values for monitoring. In most
cases, the tire pressure monitor will
automatically detect the new reference
values after you have changed the tire
pressure. However, you can also define
reference values manually as described here.
The tire pressure monitor then monitors the
new tire pressure values.
X
Set the tire pressure to the value
recommended for the corresponding
driving situation on the Tire and Loading
Information placard on the driver's side
B-pillar (

page 325).
Additional tire pressure values for different
loads can also be found on the tire pressure
table on the inside of the fuel filler flap
(
