Driv e r inf o rmation
displ a y
•
Green: If current tire pressure and the spec ified pressure are
approximate ly t he same, t he tire pressure is shown in green.
•
Yellow : If current tire pressure is too low with respect to specified
pressure, the tire pressure is shown in yellow.

Tips
•
During the learn ing period, t ire pressure and t ire temperature
are not displayed . Horizontal lines--,-- are displayed for pressure
and temperature.
•
The tire pressure is shown on the label located either on the
driver's side B-pill ar (visible when the door is open) or ins ide the fuel
filler flap .
•
The tire pressure monitor ing system helps the driver to keep an
eye on tire pressures . But the driver stil l has the responsibility for
maintaining the correct t ire pressu re. •
Storing
tire pressures
Correct storage of specified pressure is the basic require-
ment for reli able tire pressure moni toring .
In order for the tire pressure monitor ing system to operate
appropr iately, you have to re-save the specified pressures
whenever you adjust tire pressure, for example when the
load condition of your vehicle changes . Proceed as fo ll ows :
Correcting
tire pressure
- Check t he p ressure in t he t ires (in cludin g the spare tire*).
- Ad j ust air pressure as needed in accordance with the
informat ion on t he label loca t ed either on the d r iver 's
side B-p illar (visible whe n the do o r is ope n), ins ide the
f uel fill er flap and addit ionally in t he manua l.
Saving
tire pressur e s
- Tur n on the ignition .
-
Press the

All pressure warning indicators in the display wi ll be cance led.
Following each intentional cha nge in speci f ied pressures, tire pres -
sures must be resaved.
Afte r the pressures are saved, the tire pressure monitoring system
measures the current t i re pressures and saves them as the new
specified pressures .

Tips
•
The tire pressure is shown on the tire pressure label. On USA
veh icles, t he tire pressure label is locat ed on the driver's side B-
pillar . On Canada vehicles, the tire pressure labe l is located either on
t he dr iver's side B-p il lar o r in side the fuel fi ller fl ap. The t ire pressure
label lists the recommended cold tire inflation pressures for the
vehic le at its maximum capacity weight and the tires tha t were on
your vehicle at the time it was manufactured . For recommended tire
pressures for normal load conditions, please see chapter

The tire pressure monitoring system helps the driver to keep an
eye on tire pressures. But the driver still has the responsibility for
maintaining the correct tire pressure.
•
If your vehic le is equipped with a standard spare tire * , it must be
inflated to the maximum pressure spec ified for t he vehicle. •
