– Part load and full load pressures can be set.
– Tyre sizes configurable (if available).
– Automatic reprogramming if the tyre pressure has been altered.

Indicator lamp for the Tyre Pressure Loss Indicator

First read and observe the introductory information and safety warnings
Lit up Possible cause
The tyre pressure of one tyre or several tyres has
decreased considerably in comparison to the tyre
pressure set by the driver, or the structure of the tyre is
damaged. An acoustic warning will also be sounded,
and a corresponding message may appear in the
instrument cluster display.
Flashes Possible cause
System faulty. Indicator lamp flashes for around
1 minute and then lights continuously. In addition, a
corresponding text message can be displayed on the
instrument cluster and on the infotainment system.
Several warning and indicator lamps will light up briefly as a functional check when the ignition is switched on. They will go out after a few
seconds.
WARNING
Differing tyre pressures or tyre pressures that are too low can cause tyre damage, tyre failure, the loss of vehicle control, accidents, serious
injury and death.
If the indicator lamp lights up, stop the vehicle as soon as possible and check all the tyres
Different tyre pressures or tyre pressures that are too low can increase wear on the tyres, reduce vehicle stability and increase the braking
distance.
Differing tyre pressures or tyre pressures that are too low can cause sudden tyre failure and lead to a tyre burst and the loss of control over
the vehicle.
The driver is responsible for the correct tyre pressure of all tyres on the vehicle. The recommended tyre pressure can be found on the
sticker → Information about wheels and tyres
The tyre monitoring system cannot function correctly until all cold wheels have the correct tyre pressure.
Pressure in all tyres must always be appropriate to the vehicle load
Always inflate all tyres to the correct tyre pressure before every journey
If driven with insufficient pressure, the tyre flexes more. This could warm up the tyre to such an extent that the tread may separate and the
tyre could burst. This could cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.
High speeds and overloading of the vehicle may cause the tyres to heat up to such an extent that the tyre bursts, leading you to lose control
of the vehicle.
If the tyre pressure is too low or too high, the tyres will wear prematurely and the vehicle will not handle well.
If the tyre is not flat and it is not necessary to change the wheel immediately, drive at low speed to the nearest qualified workshop and
check and correct the tyre pressure
WARNING
Failure to observe illuminated indicator lamps and text messages can lead to your vehicle breaking down in traffic, and can cause accident and
serious injury.
Never ignore any illuminated indicator lamps or text messages.

Remedy
Do not drive on! Reduce speed immediately. Stop the
vehicle as soon as it is possible and safe to do so. Do not
undertake any extreme steering or braking manoeuvres!
Check all wheels and tyre pressures, and correct if necessary
→ Information about wheels and tyres
should be replaced. The Tyre Pressure Loss Indicator will
have to be re-synchronised after changing the tyre pressure,
or after changing one or more wheels

Remedy
If the tyre pressure is correct, but the indicator lamp continues
to flash and then lights up continuously after the ignition is
switched off and back on again, and if it is not possible to
calibrate the Tyre Pressure Loss Indicator, please go to a
qualified workshop. Have the system checked.
