Operation
Tires and wheels
i
After you have reactivated the tire
pressure monitor, the current tire pres-
sures will only be shown after a few
minutes' driving time.
During this time, you will see the follow-
ing message in the display:
TIRE PRES. DISPLAY
APPEARS AFTER
DRIVING A FEW MINUTES
i
Possible differences between the read-
ings of a tire pressure gauge of an air
hose, e.g. gas station equipment, and
the vehicle's control system can occur.
The readings issued by the control sys-
tem are more precise.

Switch on ignition.
Press button è or ÿ on the mul-
tifunction steering wheel repeatedly
until the standard display menu ap-
pears in the multifunction display
( page 134).
Press button k or j repeatedly
until you see the current inflation pres-
sures for each tire appear in the dis-
play.
Warning!
When the tire pressure monitoring system
warning lamp is lit, one or more of your tires
is significantly under-inflated. You should
stop and check your tires as soon as possi-
ble, and inflate them to the proper pressure
as indicated on the vehicle's tire information
placard. Driving on a significantly under-in-
flated tire causes the tire to overheat and
can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also
reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life,
and may affect the vehicle's handling and
stopping ability. Each tire, including the
spare, should be checked monthly when
cold and set to the recommended inflation
pressure as specified in the vehicle placard
and owner's manual.
i
The recommended tire inflation pres-
sures for your vehicle can be found on
the inside of the fuel filler flap, not in
the owner's manual.
