Checking tire pressures manually
To determine and set the correct tire pres-
sure, proceed as follows:
X
Remove the valve cap of the tire that is to
be checked.
X
Press the tire pressure gauge securely onto
the valve.
X
Read the tire pressure and compare it to
the recommended value on the Tire and
Loading Information placard or the tire
pressure table (
Y
page 343).
X
If the tire pressure is too low, increase the
tire pressure to the recommended value.
X
If the tire pressure is too high, release air.
To do so, press down the metal pin in the
valve, using the tip of a pen for example.
Then check the tire pressure again using
the tire pressure checker.
X
Screw the valve cap onto the valve.
X
Repeat these steps for the other tires.
Tire pressure loss warning system
(Canada only)
General notes
While the vehicle is in motion, the tire pres-
sure loss warning system monitors the set
tire pressure using the rotational speed of the
wheels. This enables the system to detect
significant pressure loss in a tire. If the speed
of rotation of a wheel changes as a result of a
loss of pressure, a corresponding warning
message will appear in the multifunction dis-
play.
You can recognize the tire pressure loss warn-
ing by the Run Flat Indicator Active
Press 'OK' to Restart message in the
multifunction display in the Serv. menu.
Information on the message display can be
found in the "Restarting the tire pressure loss
warning system" section (
Y
page 347).
Important safety notes
The tire pressure warning system does not
warn you of an incorrectly set tire pressure.
Observe the notes on the recommended tire
pressure (
Y
page 343).
The tire pressure loss warning does not
replace the need to regularly check the tire
pressure. An even loss of pressure on several
tires at the same time cannot be detected by
the tire pressure loss warning system.
The tire pressure monitor is not able to warn
you of a sudden loss of pressure, e.g. if the
tire is penetrated by a foreign object. In the
event of a sudden loss of pressure, bring the
vehicle to a halt by braking carefully. Avoid
abrupt steering movements.
The function of the tire pressure loss warning
system is limited or delayed if:
R
snow chains are mounted on your vehicle's
tires.
R
road conditions are wintry.
R
you are driving on sand or gravel.
R
you adopt a very sporty driving style (cor-
nering at high speeds or driving with high
rates of acceleration).
R
you are driving with a heavy load (in the
vehicle or on the roof).
Restarting the tire pressure loss warn-
ing system
Restart the tire pressure loss warning system
if you have:
R
changed the tire pressure
R
changed the wheels or tires
R
mounted new wheels or tires
X
Before restarting, make sure that the tire
pressures are set properly on all four tires
for the respective operating conditions.
The recommended tire pressure can be
found on the Tire and Loading Information
placard on the B-pillar. Additionally, a tire
pressure table is attached to the fuel filler
flap. The tire pressure loss warning system
can only give reliable warnings if you have
