If the preceding tyre sizes are complemented by
the + symbol, the tyre pressure information
following shows alternative tyre pressures. Fuel
consumption may then increase slightly.
The load conditions "partially laden" and "fully
laden" are defined in the table for different num-
bers of passengers and amounts of luggage. The
actual number of seats may differ from this.
Tyre pressure monitoring system
▌Function of the tyre pressure monitoring sys-
tem
The system checks the tyre pressure and the tyre
temperature of the tyres fitted to the vehicle by
means of a tyre pressure sensor.
The tyre pressure and the tyre temperature
appear in the on-board computer (
If there is a substantial pressure loss or if the tyre
temperature is excessive, you will be warned with
display messages ( page 477) or the h
/
warning lamp in the instrument cluster
( page 499).
/
The tyre pressure monitoring system is only an
aid. It is the driver's responsibility to set the tyre
pressure to the recommended cold tyre pressure
suitable for the operating situation.
In most cases, the tyre pressure monitoring sys-
tem will automatically update the new reference
values after you have changed the tyre pressure.
You can, however, also update the reference val-
ues by restarting the tyre pressure monitoring
system manually (
