Tyre Pressure Loss Indicator: calibrat‐

ing

Note

♦ The calibration of the Tyre Pressure Loss Indicator must on‐

ly be performed “after” the tyre pressure has been corrected

to the prescribed values.

♦ If no pressure loss and tyre damage are found after a tyre

pressure warning, the incorrect warning can be rectified by

calibrating.

Tyre Pressure Loss Indicator compares the speed and thus

the rolling circumference and vibrations of the individual wheels

via the ABS sensors. If the tyre pressure changes on one or

several wheels, the Tyre Pressure Loss Indicator will indicate

this in the dash panel insert and the Infotainment system.

The rolling circumference of tyre changes if:

♦ The tyre pressure is too low.

♦ The tyre has structural damage.

♦ The vehicle is loaded more heavily on one side.

♦ The wheels on one axle are loaded more heavily (e.g. when

towing a trailer or when driving in mountains).

♦ Snow chains are fitted.

♦ The temporary spare wheel is fitted.

♦ One wheel per axle has been changed.
