Tires and wheels
Reactivating Advanced TPMS*
The TPMS must be reactivated when you
have adjusted the tire inflation pressure to
a new level (e.g. because of different load
or driving conditions). The TPMS is then
recalibrated to the current tire inflation
pressures.
̈ Using the tire placard on the driver’s
door B-pillar (
page 357) or, if avail-
able, the supplemental tire pressure
information on the inside of the fuel
filler flap (
page 342), make sure the
tire inflation pressure of all four tires is
correct.
̈ Press button è or ÿ on the mul-
tifunction steering wheel repeatedly
until the standard display menu
appears in the multifunction display
(
page 168).
̈ Press the j or k button repeat-
edly until you see the current inflation
pressures for each tire appear in the
display or the following message
appears in the multifunction display:
Tire pressure displayed
only after driving
a few minutes
̈ Press the reset button (page 158).
The following message will appear in
the multifunction display:
Check current
tire pressure?
̈ Press the æ button.
The following message will appear in
the multifunction display:
Tire pressure monitor
reactivated
The TPMS will now monitor the tire in-
flation pressure values of all four tires.
If you wish to cancel activation:
̈ Press the ç button.
Warning! G
It is the driver’s responsibility to calibrate
the TPMS on the recommended cold infla-
tion pressure. Underinflated tires affect the
ability to steer or brake the vehicle. You
might lose control over the vehicle.
i
Reactivate the TPMS after adjusting
the tire inflation pressure to the infla-
tion pressure recommended for the
vehicle operating condition. Tire pres-
sure should only be adjusted on cold
tires. Observe the recommended tire
inflation pressure on the placard on the
driver’s door B-pillar (
page 357).
Some vehicles may have supplemental
tire pressure information for driving at
high speeds (
page 364) or for vehicle
loads less than the maximum loaded
vehicle condition (
page 364). If such
information is provided, it can be found
on the inside of the fuel filler flap.
