Actions in the event of a flat tire
Standard tires
1. Identify the damaged tire.
To do this, check the tire pressure in all
four tires, for instance using the tire
pressure display of a flat tire kit.
If the tire pressure in all four tires is
correct, the Tire Pressure Monitor may
not have been reset. In this case, per-
form the reset.
If the tire inflation pressure in all four
tires is correct, the Flat Tire Monitor
may not have been initialized. In this
case, initialize the system.
If identification of flat tire damage is
not possible, please contact a dealer's
service center or another qualified serv-
ice center or repair shop.
2. Repair the flat tire, e.g., with a flat tire
kit or by changing the wheel.
Use of sealing compound, for instance from
the flat tire kit, may damage the wheel elec-
