Dynamic Stability Control DSC will be activated if
necessary as soon as a message for low tyre in‐
flation pressure appears.
Safety note
WARNING
A damaged normal tyre with too little or no tyre
inflation pressure impairs driving properties, for
example steering and braking. There is a dan‐
ger of accidents. Do not continue driving. Re‐
pair the flat tyre or replace the wheel.
If a tyre inflation pressure test is
required
Message
A symbol with a Check Control message is
shown on the Control Display.
Sym‐ Possible cause
bol
The tyre was not inflated properly, for
example insufficient air added.
The system has detected a wheel
change, but no reset has been run.
The tyre inflation pressure has drop‐
ped compared to the last reset.
No reset has been performed on the
system. The system uses the tyre in‐
flation pressures saved during the
last reset for the warning.
Measure
1. Check the tyre inflation pressure and adjust
as necessary.
2. Perform a reset of the system.
