The wheel size and rim offset are located on the
inside of the wheel.
Follow the tire chain manufacturer's instructions.
Do not initialize the Flat Tire Monitor after
mounting tire chains, as doing so may result in
incorrect readings.
Do not reset the Tire Pressure Monitor after
mounting tire chains, as doing so may result in
incorrect readings.
When driving with tire chains, briefly activate Dy‐
namic Traction Control DTC to optimize the
drive power.
Maximum speed with tire chains
Do not exceed a speed of 30 mph/50 km/h when
using tire chains.
Tire pressure monitor
Principle
The Tire Pressure Monitor monitors the tire
pressure and issues a warning if the tire pressure
has dropped.
General information
Sensors in the tire valves measure the tire infla‐
tion pressure and tire temperature.
The system detects the mounted tires automati‐
cally. The system displays the predefined nomi‐
nal pressure values on the Control Display and
compares these values to the actual tire pressure
values.
If tires are being used that are not specified on
the tire inflation pressure details on the vehicle,
Rim offset (IS)

Wheels and tires
such as tires with special approval, the system
needs to be actively reset. The system will then
take over the actual tire inflation pressures as the
target pressures.
When operating the system, also note the infor‐
mation found in the Tire inflation pressure chap‐
ter.
Additional information:
Tire inflation pressure, refer to page 280.
Safety information
Warning
The display of the target pressures is not a
substitute for the tire inflation pressure details
on the vehicle. Incorrect entries in the tire set‐
tings can lead to incorrect target tire inflation
pressure values. In this case, it cannot be guar‐
anteed that the notification of a tire pressure
loss will be reliable. There is a risk of injury and
risk of damage to property. Ensure that the tire
sizes of the mounted tires are displayed cor‐
rectly and match the details on the tires and on
the vehicle.
Functional requirements
The following conditions must be met for the
system; otherwise, reliable message of a tire
pressure loss is not assured:
▷ After each tire or wheel change, the system
detects and updates the mounted tires and
displays them after a short trip on the Control
Display.
Enter the information about the mounted
tires in the tire settings when the system
does not automatically detect the tires.
▷ The Tire Pressure Monitor does not activate
until after driving for a few minutes:
