Tyre pressure indicator : calibrating

Note
The calibration of the tyre pressure indicator must only be per‐
♦
formed "after" the tyre pressure has been corrected to the
prescribed values.
If no pressure loss and tyre damage are found after a tyre
♦
pressure warning, the incorrect warning can be rectified by
calibrating.
Tyre Pressure Loss Indicator compares the speed and thus the
rolling circumference and vibrations of the individual wheels via
the ABS sensors. If the tyre pressure changes on one or several
wheels, the tyre pressure indicator will indicate this in the dash
panel insert and the Infotainment system.
The rolling circumference of tyre changes if:
♦ The tyre pressure is too low.
♦ The tyre has structural damage.
♦ The vehicle is loaded more heavily on one side.
♦ The wheels on one axle are loaded more heavily (e.g. when
towing a trailer or when driving in mountains).
♦ Snow chains are fitted.
♦ The temporary spare wheel is fitted.
♦ One wheel per axle has been changed.
The tyre pressure monitoring warning lamp has a yellow warning
lamp in the dash panel insert -arrow-.
♦ A "PERMANENT LIGHTING-UP" in conjunction with a warn‐
ing tone, means "WARNING", pressure loss has been detec‐
ted, check tyre pressure and carry out calibration.
