Driving for the first time with new tyres at

a high speed can cause them to slightly ex-

pand, which could then produce an air

pressure warning.

When driving, the system self-calibrates the

tyre pressure provided by the driver and the

wheels fitted. After a long journey with varied

speeds the programmed values are collected

and monitored.

●

If excessively low tyre pressure is detec-

ted with the ignition on, an audible warning

will sound. In the event that there is a fault

in the system, an audible warning will

sound.

With the wheels under very heavy loads, the

tyre pressure must be increased to the total

recommended tyre pressure before calibra-

time or driving in a sporty style can tempo-

rarily deactivate the TPMS. The control

lamp shows a fault, but disappears when

road conditions or the driving style change.

WARNING

When the tyres are inflated at different

pressures or at a pressure that is too low

then a tyre may be damaged resulting in a

loss of control of the vehicle and a serious

or fatal accident.

●

Do not only rely on the tyre pressure

monitoring system. Regularly check your

tyres to ensure that the tyre pressure is cor-

rect and that the tyres are not damaged

due to puncture, cuts, tears and im-

pacts/dents. Remove objects from the

tyres only when they have not pierced the

tyres.

●

If the lamp  lights up, reduce speed im-

mediately and avoid any sudden turning or

braking manoeuvre. Stop when possible,

and check the tyre pressure and status.

●

The tyre pressure monitoring indicator

does not function when there is a fault in

the ESC or ABS page 275.

●

The tyre pressure monitoring system can

only operate correctly if all of the tyres are

inflated to the correct pressure when cold.
