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 external temperature.
Target pressure
The target pressure for the tires on the front
and rear axles is displayed.
The target pressures are values stored in the
vehicle.
The specified target pressures take the influ‐
ence of driving operation and external temper‐
ature on the tire temperature into account. The
appropriate target pressure is always dis‐
played, independent of the weather situation,
tire temperatures and driving times.
The displayed target pressure may change and
may differ from the tire inflation pressure de‐
tails on the door pillar of the driver's door. The
tire inflation pressure can thus be corrected to
the value of the displayed target pressures.
