If the preceding tyre sizes are complemented by
the + symbol, the tyre pressure information
following shows alternative tyre pressures. Fuel
consumption may then increase slightly.
The load conditions "partially laden" and "fully
laden" are dened in the table for dierent num-
bers of passengers and amounts of luggage. The
actual number of seats may dier from this.
Tyre pressure monitoring system
▌Function of the tyre pressure monitoring sys-
tem
The system checks the tyre pressure and the tyre
temperature of the tyres tted to the vehicle by
means of the tyre pressure sensor.
The tyre pressure and the tyre temperature are
displayed in the driver display.
In the event of signicant pressure loss or exces-
sive temperature of the tyres, you are warned via
display messages (/ page 941) or the warning
lamp h in the driver display (/ page 972).
The tyre pressure monitoring system is only an
aid. It is the driver's responsibility to set the tyre
pressure to the recommended cold tyre pressure
suitable for the operating situation.
In most cases, the tyre pressure monitoring sys-
tem will automatically update the new reference
values aer you have changed the tyre pressure.
You can, however, also update the reference val-
ues by restarting the tyre pressure monitoring
system manually (/ page 685).
System limits
The system may be impaired or may not function
particularly in the following situations:
R
incorrect reference values were taught in.
R
sudden pressure loss caused by a foreign
object penetrating the tyre, for example.
R
there is a fault from another radio signal
source.
