tyre pressure.
The tyre monitor indicator compares wheel
revolutions and, with this information, the
tread of each wheel using the ABS sensors. If
the rolling circumference of one or more
wheels has changed, the tyre monitoring in-
dicator will indicate this on the instrument
panel through a warning lamp and a warning
›››
to the driver Fig. 227. When only one spe-
cific tyre is affected, its position within the
vehicle will be indicated.
 Loss of pressure: Check left
tyre pressure!

In vehicles that are not equipped with the Easy
Connect system, the switch for adjusting tyre pres-
sure is located in the centre console next to the haz-
ard warning lights.
Wheels
Wheel tread change
The wheel tread changes when:
● Tyre pressure is manually changed
Tyre pressure is insufficient
●
● Tyre structure is damaged
The vehicle is unbalanced because of a
●
load
The wheels on an axle are subject to a
●
heavier load (e.g. with a heavy load).
The vehicle is fitted with snow chains
●
● The temporary spare wheel is fitted
The wheel on one axle is changed
●
There may be a delay in the reaction of the
tyre  monitoring indicator or it may not in-
dicate anything under certain circumstances
(e.g. sporty driving, snow-covered or un-
paved roads, or when driving with snow
chains).
Calibrating the tyre monitoring indica-
tor
After changing the tyre pressure or replacing
one or more wheels, the tyre monitoring indi-
cator must be recalibrated. Do the same, for
example, when the front and rear wheels are
swapped.
Switch the ignition on.

● Save the new tyre pressure in the Easy Con-
nect system 1) by using the button and the

Setup
When driving, the system self-calibrates the
tyre pressure provided by the driver and the
wheels fitted. After a long journey with varied
speeds the programmed values are collected
and monitored.
With the wheels under very heavy loads, the
tyre pressure must be increased to the total
recommended tyre pressure before the cali-

bration page 303.
Note
● The tyre monitoring indicator does not
function when there is a fault in the ESC or
›››
ABS page 173.
An erroneous indication may be given when
●
snow chains are in use because they increase
the tread of the wheel.
