If the tyre pressure monitor is malfunctioning,
it may take more than ten minutes for the tyre
pressure warning lamp to inform you of the
malfunction by flashing for approximately one
minute and then remaining lit. When the fault
has been rectified, the tyre pressure warning
lamp goes out after you have driven for a few
minutes.
The tyre pressure values indicated by the on-
board computer may differ from those meas-
ured at a filling station using a pressure
gauge. The tyre pressures shown by the on-
board computer refer to those measured at
sea level. At high altitudes, the tyre pressure
values indicated by a pressure gauge are
higher than those shown by the on-board
computer. In this case, do not reduce the tyre
pressures.
The operation of the tyre pressure monitor
can be affected by interference from radio
transmitting equipment (e.g. radio head-
phones, two-way radios) that may be being
operated in or near the vehicle.

After a teach-in period, the tyre pressure
monitor automatically recognises new
wheels or new sensors. As long as a clear
allocation of the tyre pressure values to the
individual wheels is not possible, the
pressure monitor active
sage is shown instead of the tyre pressure
display. The tyre pressures are already being
monitored.
i If a spare wheel/emergency spare wheel
is fitted, for a few minutes the system may
continue to show the tyre pressure of the
wheel that has been removed. If this
occurs, the value displayed for the position
where the spare wheel/emergency spare
wheel is fitted is not the same as the spare
wheel/emergency spare wheel's current
tyre pressure.
Warning messages of the tyre pressure
monitor
If the tyre pressure monitor detects a pres-
sure loss in one or more tyres, a warning mes-
sage is shown in the multifunction display and
the yellow tyre pressure monitor warning light
comes on.
Please correct tyre pressure
If the
R
message appears in the multifunction dis-
play, the tyre pressure in at least one tyre
is too low and must be corrected at the next
opportunity.
