Operation
Tires and wheels
Checking tire pressure electronically
with the Advanced Tire Pressure
Monitoring System* (Advanced
TPMS*), (Canada only)
The TPMS only functions on wheels that
are equipped with the proper electronic
sensors. It monitors the tire inflation pres-
sure, as selected by the driver, in all four
tires. A warning is issued to alert you to a
decrease in pressure in one or more of the
tires.
Tire pressure inquiries are made using the
multifunction display.The present inflation
pressures are displayed only after a few
minutes travel time.
̈ Switch on the ignition (page 38).
̈ Press the j or k button until
the current inflation pressures for each
tire appear in the multifunction display.

Possible differences between the readings
of a tire pressure gauge of an air hose, e.g. gas
station equipment, and the vehicle’s control sys-
tem can occur. Usually the readings issued by
the control system are more precise.
i
When the message
Tire pressure is
only displayed only after driving for
a few minutes
appears in the display, the indi-
vidual inflation pressure values are matched with
the tires. The individual values are displayed af-
ter a few minutes driving.
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.
