Calibrating Tire Monitor

In order for Tire Monitor to work correctly, tire
pressure reference values must be set. This
must be done each time wheels or tire pres-
sures are changed.
Calibration
1. Switch off the engine.
2. Inflate the tires to the desired pressure
(consult tire pressure placard located on
the driver's side B-pillar (the structural
member at the side of the vehicle) and
put the ignition in mode II, see Ignition
modes (p. 73).
3. Press the MY CAR button on the center
console control panel and select
Car settings Tire
4. Press OK/MENU, select
pressure and press OK/MENU again.
5. Drive away.
> The calibration process will be comple-
ted while driving and will be interrupted
if the vehicle is parked and the engine
is switched off. Calibration continues
automatically when driving resumes.
The system will not give any confirma-
tion when calibration is finished
although it will state if calibration fails.
The new reference values will be used until
steps 1-5 stated above are repeated.

NOTE
Always remember to calibrate Tire Monitor
when the wheels have been changed or
the tire pressure has been corrected
according to tire pressure placard or tire
pressure table. If correct reference values
have not been set, the system cannot
issue low tire pressure alerts correctly.
