Reactivating the TPMS
Warning!
It is the driver's responsibility to calibrate
the TPMS on the recommended cold infla-
tion pressure. Underinflated tires affect the
ability to steer or brake the vehicle. You
might loose control over the vehicle.
The TPMS must be reactivated when you
have adjusted the tire inflation pressure to
a new level (e.g. because of different load
or driving conditions). The TPMS is then
recalibrated to the current tire inflation
pressures.
Using the tire placard on the driver's
door B-pillar ( page 285) or, if avail-
able, the supplemental tire pressure
information on the inside of the fuel fill-
er flap ( page 269), make sure the tire
inflation pressure of all four tires is cor-
rect.

driver's door B-pillar ( page 285).
Some vehicles may have supplemental
tire pressure information for driving at
