D Rear target pressure
If you are using your vehicle in a heavily laden condi-
tion, the tyre pressures should be inflated to the
'Laden Pressure' shown on the tyre placard.
The TPMS system can be adjusted in the vehicle
information display to set the target pressure to the
'Laden Pressure' shown on the tyre placard. See
"Vehicle information display" in the "2. Instruments
and controls" section. To adjust the target pressure
use the steering wheel switches to select the [Set-
tings] menu, followed by [Tyre Pressures]. Select
[Target front] and [Target rear] and set the desired
tyre pressure.
The TPMS target pressures will be displayed in the
centre of the front and rear axle on the TPMS screen
of the vehicle information display.

TYRE PRESSURE UNITS

The units displayed by the TPMS system can be
selected using the vehicle information display. Se-
lect the [Settings] menu, followed by [Tyre Pres-
sures]. Select [Tyre pressure unit] and choose the
unit that you want.

[CHECK COLD TYRE] MESSAGE

NIC2227
If the tyre pressure becomes higher than the target
pressure during a low tyre pressure condition, the
[Check Cold Tyre] message will be displayed in the
vehicle information display (see "Vehicle information
display" in the "2. Instruments and controls" sec-
tion).
NOTE
Even if the pressure is above the preset target
pressure, the yellow colour in the tyre pressure
warning means that the tyre pressure is actually
too low. Tyre pressure is increasing during driv-
ing. Check the tyre pressure when the tyre is
cold.

TPMS TEMPERATURE CALIBRATION

The tyre pressure is affected by the temperature of
the tyre; the tyre temperature increases when the
car is driven. To be able to accurately monitor the
tyre air leakage and to prevent false TPMS warnings
due to reductions in temperature, the TPMS system
uses temperature sensors in the tyres to perform
temperature compensation calculations.
On rare occasions it may be necessary to recalibrate
the TPMS system reference temperature using the
vehicle information display. See "Vehicle informa-
tion display" in the "2. Instruments and controls"
section. This operation should only be performed
when the actual tyre pressure has been adjusted,
whilst the current ambient temperature is signifi-
cantly different to the current calibration tempera-
