3. "Tire Pressure Monitor"
The current status is displayed.
Current tire inflation pressure
The current tire inflation pressure is displayed for
each tire.
The current tire inflation pressures may change
during driving operation or depending on the ex‐
ternal temperature.
Current tire temperature
Depending on the model, the current tire tem‐
peratures are displayed.
The current tire temperatures may change while
driving or due to the external temperature.
Target pressure
The target pressure for the tires on the front and
rear axles is displayed.
The specified target pressures take the influence
of driving operation and external temperature on
the tire temperature into account. The appropri‐
ate target pressure is always displayed, inde‐
pendent of the weather situation, tire tempera‐
tures and travel times.
The displayed target pressure may change and
may differ from the tire inflation pressure details
on the door pillar of the driver's door. The tire in‐
flation pressure can thus be corrected to the
value of the displayed target pressures.
The target pressure is immediately adjusted if
the vehicle load is changed in the tire settings.
