WHEELS AND TYRES
* Option/accessory. 574
Action in the event of warning for
low tyre pressure
When the system for tyre pressure
6
warns that
tyre pressure is too low, action is required.
Check and rectify the tyre pressure
when the indicator symbol for the sys-
tem is illuminated and the
Tyre
pressure low message 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
factory 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
extinguish until the low tyre pressure has
been rectified and storing a new tyre pres-
sure has been started.
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 kil-
ometres of driving, the tyres warm up and the
pressure increases.
NOTE
•
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 difficult to
unscrew.
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.
