Tire pressure loss warning system
(Canada only)
General notes
While the vehicle is in motion, the tire pres-
sure loss warning system monitors the set
tire pressure using the rotational speed of the
wheels. This enables the system to detect
significant pressure loss in a tire. If the speed
of rotation of a wheel changes as a result of a
loss of pressure, a corresponding warning
message will appear in the multifunction dis-
play.
You can recognize the tire pressure loss warn-
ing by the Run Flat Indicator Active Run Flat Indicator Active

The tire pressure loss warning does not
replace the need to regularly check the tire
pressure. An even loss of pressure on several
tires at the same time cannot be detected by
the tire pressure loss warning system.
The tire pressure monitor is not able to warn
you of a sudden loss of pressure, e.g. if the
tire is penetrated by a foreign object. In the
event of a sudden loss of pressure, bring the
vehicle to a halt by braking carefully. Avoid
abrupt steering maneuvers.
The function of the tire pressure loss warning
system is limited or delayed if:
snow chains are mounted on your vehicle's
R
tires.
road conditions are wintry.
R
you are driving on sand or gravel.
R
you adopt a very sporty driving style (cor-
R
nering at high speeds or driving with high
rates of acceleration).
you are driving with a heavy load (in the
R
vehicle or on the roof).

Additionally, a tire pressure table is
attached to the fuel filler flap. The tire pres-
sure loss warning system can only give reli-
able warnings if you have set the correct
tire pressure. If an incorrect tire pressure is
