Rectifying a warning
for low tyre pressure
When the system for tyre pressure
166
warns
that tyre pressure is too low, action is required.
Check and rectify the tyre
pressure when the indicator
symbol for the system is illumi-
nated and a message for low
tyre pressure is shown.
1. Switch off the car.
2. Check the tyre pressure in all four tyres with a
tyre pressure gauge.
3. Inflate the tyres to the correct pressure, see
the decal on the door pillar on the driver's side
showing the recommended pressure for fac-
tory fitted tyres.
4. Always save a new tyre pressure in the sys-
tem via the centre display after the tyre pres-
sure has been adjusted.
Note that the indicator symbol does not extin-
guish until the low tyre pressure has been
rectified and storing a new tyre pressure has
been started.

WARNING
• Incorrect tyre pressure may lead to
tyre failure, which could result in the
driver losing control of the car.
• The system cannot indicate sudden
tyre damage in advance.
NOTE
• To avoid incorrect tyre pressure, the
pressure should be checked on cold
tyres. "Cold tyres" means the tyres are
the same temperature as the ambient
temperature (approx. 3 hours after the
car has been driven). After a few kilo-
metres of driving, the tyres warm up
and the pressure increases.
• • After a tyre has been inflated, always
refit the dust cap in order to avoid
damage to the valve from gravel,
dirt, etc.
• Only use plastic dust caps. Metal
dust caps can rust and become diffi-
cult to unscrew.
