Wheels and Tires
If a low pressure warning message is
TIREPRESSUREMONITORING
SYSTEM
displayed in the information display, check
the tire pressures as soon as possible and
inflate them to the recommended
pressure. See Technical Specifications
(page 199). If this happens frequently, have
the cause determined and rectified as soon
as possible.
WARNINGS
The system does not relieve you of
your responsibility to regularly check
the tire pressures.
The system will only provide a low
tire pressure warning. It will not
inflate the tires.
The system may take longer to
detect low pressure in the tires if you
have fitted snow chains.
Checking the tire pressures
Note: If the tire pressures are greater than
or equal to 3.3 bar (48 lbf/in2), you will see
the + symbol below the pressure value. The
system only measures pressure up to 3.3
bar (48 lbf/in2). The + symbol indicates that
the tire pressures may be higher.
Note: Type 3 instrument clusters have a
slightly different menu structure. Select
Settings first to access Information.
Do not drive on significantly
under-inflated tires. This may cause
the tires to overheat and fail.
Under-inflation reduces fuel efficiency, tire
tread life and may also affect your ability
to drive the vehicle safely.
1. Press the right arrow button on the
steering wheel to enter the main menu.
Do not bend or damage the valves
2. Highlight Information with the up and
down buttons and press the right arrow

when you are inflating the tires.
Have tires installed by properly
trained technicians.
Note: After changing the tires or sensors
the system will take a few minutes to reset.
During this period the system is operational
but a warning lamp may appear.
Note: If you fit tires that do not have
monitoring sensors, a message will be
shown in the display. See Information
Messages (page 88). Confirm this message
to deactivate the system.
4. Highlight the desired setting and press
the OK button to confirm the setting.
5. Press the left arrow button to exit the
menu. Hold the left arrow button
pressed to return to the trip computer
display.
Setting the vehicle load
Note: Type 3 instrument clusters have a
slightly different menu structure. Select
Settings first to access Setup.
The system monitors the pressure in the
tires using sensors located on the wheels
and a receiver located in your vehicle.
When the system detects low pressure in
the tires, a warning message is displayed
in the information display. See
Correct tire pressure settings depend on
vehicle load. See Technical
Specifications (page 199). The system
can only detect low pressure if you have
entered the current vehicle load.
