Using the tyre pressure monitor
Useful information
It is the driver's responsibility to set the
tyre pressure to the recommended cold tyre
pressure suitable for the operating situa-
tion.
The tyre pressure monitor issues a warning
when the pressure drops in one or more of
the tyres.
The tyre pressure monitor works properly
only if sensors are present in all four tyres,
and after the monitor has learned the cor-
rect tyre pressure for the current operating
situation. This occurs automatically in
most situations, but may also be specified
after restarting the tyre pressure monitor.
Before restarting, check the tyres for the
recommended tyre pressure.
The tyre pressure monitor does not provide
a warning in the following cases:
even loss of pressure on multiple tyres
R
sudden loss of tyre pressure, e.g. due to
R
penetration by a foreign body
incorrectly set tyre pressure
R
The tyre pressure monitor has a yellow
warning lamp in the instrument cluster for
indicating a pressure loss or malfunction.
