When the ignition is switched on, the most recently received tyre pressures will be displayed first; these values are updated to the actual
pressures and displayed when the journey is started. In case the tyre pressure is too low, the relevant tyre is indicated and displayed along with

the actual pressures .
If no tyre pressures are transmitted, the last received actual pressures are displayed in grey, e.g. when parking.

Switching Tyre Pressure Monitoring System on and off

Observe any country-specific legal requirements for the Tyre Pressure Monitoring System.
Countries where ECE regulations apply: if a set of tyres is fitted to the vehicle (e.g. winter tyres) that do not have wheel sensors or have
incompatible wheel sensors, the indicator lamp
also be given. The tyre pressures are not monitored. The system cannot be switched off.
For countries where the ECE regulations do not apply: if a set of tyres is fitted to the vehicle (e.g. winter tyres) that do not have wheel sensors or
have incompatible wheel sensors, the system will be automatically switched off after you start driving. A text notification will be displayed in this
case. An acoustic signal may also be given. The tyre pressures are not monitored. As soon as the Tyre Pressure Monitoring System receives
suitable sensor signals again while you are driving, it is switched on automatically.

Adjusting the tyre pressure

Following any relevant change in the load level, the tyre pressure must be checked and altered as necessary. The tyre pressures recommended
for the vehicle are on a sticker on the driver door pillar or on the inside of the tank flap
If the tyre pressure has to be altered on a warm tyre, you should inflate the tyre with 0.2 – 0.3 bar (2.9 – 4.4 PSI / 20 – 30 kPa) more than the
value given on the tyre pressure sticker.
The readings on the manometer when filling the tyres and the reading on the tyre pressure sensors may be different. The electronic Tyre
Pressure Monitoring System provides more accurate results.

Selecting target pressures for partial or full vehicle load level

The driver has to select the appropriate target tyre pressure for the partially or fully loaded vehicle depending on the vehicle load level.
