system. Have the vehicle inspected by your nearest specialist garage.
Functional description
After the basic setting of the system the "adaptation" of the tyre inflation pressures and
then the tyre pressure control in the individual tyres are performed.

Warning light lights up
If the tyre inflation pressure of at least one wheel is insufficiently inflated in comparison
to the stored basic value, the warning light
specified inflation pressure  page 178, "Tyre life" and then perform a basic setting of
the system.
Warning light  flashes
If the warning light flashes, there is a system fault. Have the vehicle inspected by your

When the warning light
avoid sudden steering and brake manoeuvres. Please stop the vehicle without
delay at the nearest possible stop and inspect the tyres and their inflation pres-
sures.

The driver is responsible for the correct tyre inflation pressures. For this
reason, the tyre inflation pressures must be checked regularly.

Under certain circumstances (e.g. sporty style of driving, wintry or unpaved
roads) the warning light 

The tyre pressure monitoring system does not take away the responsibility
from the driver for the correct tyre inflation pressure.

Driving Tips


tyre damage. In this case carefully bring the vehicle to a standstill without sudden
steering movements and without sharp braking.

Diesel particle filter* (diesel engine)

In the diesel particle filter the resulting soot particles are collected and
burnt during the combustion of diesel fuel.
Code 7GG, 7MB or 7MG on the vehicle data sticker, see
vehicle is equipped with a diesel particle filter. The vehicle data sticker is located on
the floor of the luggage compartment and is also stated in the Service schedule.
The diesel particle filter filters the soot particles completely from the exhaust. The soot
is collected in the diesel particle filter and burnt regularly. To assist this procedure, we
recommend not to drive regularly over short distances.
If the diesel particle filter is clogged or there is a fault, it is indicated by the warning light
 page 33, "Diesel particle filter*  (diesel engine)".

WARNING

The diesel particle filter achieves very high temperatures. Therefore do not
park at points where the hot filter comes into direct contact with dry grass or
other combustible materials - risk of fire!

Never use additional underbody protection or corrosion-protection agents
for the exhaust pipes, catalytic converters, heat shields or diesel particle filter.
