CONTROLS
WARNING
Work carried out incorrectly can lead to a
failure, a malfunction or accidental trig-
gering of the system. If there is a malfunc-
tion, the system might not trigger as in-
tended in an accident, in spite of the
accident being of the appropriate severity.
There is a danger of injury or even death.
Have the system tested, repaired or re-
moved and disposed of by a Service Part-
ner of the manufacturer or another quali-
fied Service Partner or a specialist
workshop.
System limits
The active pedestrian protection system is
only triggered at speeds between approxi-
mately 30 km/h, approximately 18 mph and
55 km/h, approximately 34 mph.
For safety reasons, the system may also
trigger in rare instances where impact with
a pedestrian cannot be excluded beyond all
doubt, for example:
– Collision with a skip or a boundary post.
– Collision with animals.
– Stone impact.
– Driving into a snow drift.

longer work at all. There is a danger of in-
jury or even death.
If the system has triggered or is damaged,
have it checked and renewed at a Service
Partner of the manufacturer or another
qualified Service Partner or a specialist
workshop.

Tyre Pressure Monitor TPM
Principle
The system monitors the tyre inflation pres-
sure in the four fitted tyres. The system
warns if the tyre inflation pressure in one or
more tyres has fallen considerably.
General
Sensors in the tyre valves measure the tyre
inflation pressure and, depending on the
model, the tyre temperature.
To operate the system, also follow the other
information and notes under Tyre inflation
pressure, see page 276.
