The vehicle is fitted with snow chains.
The temporary spare wheel is fitted.
The wheel on one axle is changed.
The inflation pressure of one or more wheels is much
lower than the value set by the driver, or the tyre has
structural damage.
In addition, a audible warning sounds and a text mes-
sage is displayed on the instrument panel screen.
Stop the vehicle! Stop the vehicle safely as soon as
possible. Check all tyres and pressures. Replace any
damaged tyres.
There may be a delay in the reaction of the
tyre pressure monitoring indicator or it
may not indicate anything under certain cir-
cumstances (e.g. sporty driving, snow-cov-
ered or unpaved roads, or when driving with
snow chains).

The tyre pressure monitoring system com-
pares the individual speeds of each wheel
and thus the dynamic radius with the help of
the ABS sensors.

The control lamp flashes for approximately 1 minute

If the tyre is inflated correctly, switch the ignition off
and on again. Re-calibrate the tyre pressure monitor
If the rolling circumference of one or more
wheels has changed, the tyre pressure moni-
toring indicator will indicate this on the in-
strument panel through a warning lamp and
After changing the tyre pressure or replacing
one or more wheels, the tyre pressure moni-
toring indicator must be recalibrated. Do the
same, for example, when the front and rear
wheels are swapped.
