loss
Message
A yellow warning light is illuminated in
the instrument cluster.
In addition, an icon indicating which tyre is af-
fected is shown in a Check Control message on
the control display.
Icon Possible cause
There is a flat tyre or substantial tyre
pressure loss.
No reset has been performed on the
system. System warning is based
on the tyre inflation pressures saved
during the last reset.
Measure
1. Reduce your speed and carefully stop the
vehicle. Avoid heavy braking and sudden
steering manoeuvres.
2. Check whether the vehicle is equipped with
standard tyres or run-flat tyres.
The icon identifying run-flat tyres is a circle
with the letters RSC on the tyre sidewall.
Run-flat tyres, see page 291.
3. Follow the description of what to do when
the vehicle gets a flat tyre.
What to do in the event of a flat tyre, see

Check the tyre inflation pressure in all four
tyres, for example using the tyre inflation
pressure indicator of a tyre repair kit.
For tyres with special approval: if all four
tyres are inflated to the correct tyre inflation
pressures, the Tyre Pressure Monitor might
not have been reset. Perform a reset.
If no tyre damage can be found, contact a
Service Partner of the manufacturer or an-
other qualified Service Partner or a special-
ist workshop.
2. Repair the flat tyre, for example using a tyre
repair kit or by changing the wheel.
The use of tyre sealant, for example a flat tyre
kit, can damage the wheel electronics. Have
the electronics replaced at the next opportu-
nity.
Run-flat tyres
Safety information
WARNING
A run-flat tyre with too little or no tyre infla-
tion pressure will change the vehicle's han-
dling characteristics, for example there may
be reduced directional stability when braking,
longer braking distances and different self-
steering properties. There is a risk of acci-
dent. Drive with care and do not exceed a
speed of 80 km/h, 50 mph.
WARNING
Continuing to drive with a flat tyre can cause
heavy trailers to start snaking. There is a risk
of accident or material damage. When driving
with a trailer and a flat tyre, do not exceed the
speed of 60 km/h, 35 mph. If the trailer starts
to snake, brake immediately and make the
necessary steering corrections as carefully as
possible.
