Indication of a flat tire
A yellow warning light is illuminated in
the instrument cluster.
In addition, an icon with a Check Control mes-
sage appears on the control display.
Icon Possible cause
There is a flat tire or a major tire
pressure loss.
Measure
1. Reduce your speed and stop cautiously.
Avoid sudden braking and steering maneu-
vers.
2. Read the description on what to do in case
of a flat tire.
Actions in the event of a flat tire
1. Identify the damaged tire.
To do this, check the tire pressure in all four
tires, for instance using the tire pressure
display from a tire repair set.
When the tire inflation pressure in all four
tires is correct, the flat tire monitor may not
have been initialized. In this case, initialize
the system.
If tire damage cannot be identified, contact
an authorized service center or another
qualified service center or repair shop.
2. Repair the flat tire, for instance with a tire
repair set or by changing the wheel.
System limits
The system could be delayed or malfunction in
the following situations:
▷ A natural, even tire pressure loss in all
four tires will not be recognized. Therefore,
check the tire inflation pressure regularly.
▷ Sudden and serious tire damage caused
by external circumstances cannot be recog-
nized in advance.

Wheels and tires
▷ The system has not been initialized.
▷ When driving on a snowy or slippery road.
▷ Sporty driving style: slip on traction wheels,
high lateral acceleration (drifting).
▷ When driving with snow chains.
Changing wheels/tires
General information
When a tire repair set is used, the wheel does
not always need to be changed immediately
in the event of a breakdown when there is tire
pressure loss.
If necessary, a suitable wheel change tool, e.g.,
a jack, is available as an accessory from an
authorized service center or another qualified
service center or repair shop.
Safety information
Warning
The jack is only provided for short-term lifting
of the vehicle for wheel changes. Even if all
safety precautions are observed, there is a
risk of the raised vehicle falling if the jack tips
over. There is a risk of injury or danger to life.
When the vehicle is raised with the jack, do
not lie under the vehicle and do not switch on
the drive-ready state.
Warning
Supports such as wooden blocks under the
jack reduce the load-carrying capacity of
the jack to bear weight. The load-carrying
capacity of the wooden blocks may be ex-
ceeded and the vehicle may tip over. There is
a risk of injury or danger to life. Do not place
supports under the jack.
