After storing the new inﬂation pressure, a conﬁr-

mation message will be displayed, the warning

light in the instrument cluster will ﬂash brieﬂy

and a driver alert tone will be played.

Troubleshooting

●

If the tyres have no punctures and do not

need to be replaced immediately, drive to

the nearest specialist workshop at low speed

and have the tyre pressure checked and cor-

rected.

Low tyre pressure

The control lamp switches on yellow.

The tyre pressure loss indicator uses the

ABS sensors to compare the turns of each

wheel and, therefore, their tread circumferen-

ces, among other aspects. The set values are

collected and monitored after a long journey at

dierent speeds.

The inﬂation pressure of one or more wheels is

much lower than the value set by the driver, or

the tyre has structural damage.

Note

●

Stop the vehicle! Stop the vehicle safely

When driving for the ﬁrst time with new

tyres at high speeds, the tyres may expand

slightly, which may result in an air pressure

warning.

as soon as possible.

●

For example, if the wheels are under very heavy

loads, the tyre pressure must be increased to

the total recommended tyre pressure before

calibration ››› Fig. 201.

Check all tyres and pressures.

Replace any damaged tyres.

●

If a low tyre pressure is detected when the

ignition is switched on, an audible warning

will sound. If the system fails, an audible sig-

nal sounds.

Consult a specialised workshop if the tyre pres-

sure is correct and the lamp remains lit after

switching the ignition o and back on again.

WARNING

●

Driving on unpaved roads for a long period

If the tyres are inﬂated to diꢀerent pressures,

or to a pressure that is too low, a tyre may be

damaged and control of the vehicle may be

lost. This could lead to a serious or even fatal

accident.

ble, and check the pressure and status of all

tyres.

The puncture repair kit (Tyre Mobility System)

will reliably seal punctures caused by the pen-

in diameter. Do not remove foreign objects,

e.g. screws or nails, from the tyre.

The tyre pressure loss indicator only works

correctly if all the tyres are at the correct

pressure when cold, and it is subsequently

calibrated according to the described pro-

cedure.

WARNING

●

If it is not possible to inﬂate the tyre to at

least 2.0 bars (29 psi / 200 kPa), the tyre is

too badly damaged. The sealant is not in a
