There is a loss of pressure in one or more
tyres or the tyre is structurally damaged.
1.
Do not drive on!
2. Check and adjust all tyre pressures
→
page 339.
3. The damaged tyre should be replaced.
4. Re-synchronise the Tyre Pressure Loss
Indicator

5. If the fault persists, go to a correspond-
ingly qualified workshop.
Fault in the Tyre Pressure Loss Indi-
cator
The indicator lamp flashes for around 1 mi-
nute and then remains lit up yellow contin-
uously.
There is a system fault.
1.
Do not drive on!
2. Switch the ignition off and then back on
again.
3. Re-synchronise the Tyre Pressure Loss
Indicator → page 330.
4. If the fault persists, go to a correspond-
ingly qualified workshop.
WARNING
Differing tyre pressures or tyre pressures
that are too low can cause tyre damage,
tyre failure, loss of vehicle control, acci-
dents, serious injury and death.
·
If the indicator lamp lights up, stop
immediately and check all tyres
→ page 339.
·
Different tyre pressures or tyre pres-
sures that are too low can increase
wear on the tyres, reduce vehicle stabil-
ity and increase the braking distance.
·
Differing tyre pressures or tyre pres-
sures that are too low can cause sud-
den tyre failure and lead to a tyre burst-
ing and the loss of control over the ve-
hicle.
·
The driver is responsible for the correct
tyre pressure of all tyres on the vehicle.
The recommended tyre pressure can be
found on a sticker
→
page 339.
·
The tyre monitoring system cannot
function correctly until all cold tyres
have the correct tyre pressure.
·
The pressure in all tyres must always be
appropriate to the vehicle load
→
page 339.
·
Always inflate all tyres to the correct
tyre pressure before every trip
→
page 339.
·
If the vehicle is driven with insufficient
tyre pressure, this results in greater tyre
flexing. This could warm up the tyre to
such an extent that the tread may sep-
arate and the tyre could burst. This
could cause the driver to lose control of
the vehicle.
·
High speeds and overloading of the ve-
hicle may cause the tyres to heat up to
such an extent that the tyre bursts,
leading you to lose control of the vehi-
cle.
·
If the tyre pressure is too low or too
high, the tyres will wear prematurely
and the vehicle will not handle well.
·
If the tyre is not flat and it is not neces-
sary to change the wheel immediately,
drive at low speed to the nearest corre-
spondingly
qualified workshop and
have the tyre pressure checked and
corrected

page 339.
·
The Tyre Pressure Loss Indicator must
always be calibrated correctly.
Driving on unpaved roads for long pe-
riods, or a sporty driving style, can
temporarily deactivate the Tyre Pressure
Loss Indicator. In the event of a malfunc-
tion, the indicator lamp will
flash for around
1 minute and then light up continuously.
However, the indicator lamp will go out
when the road conditions or driving style
change.

chapter on page 329.
Low tyre pressure
The indicator lamp lights up yellow.
