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 503) or, if avail-
able, the supplemental tire inflation
pressure information on the inside of
the fuel filler flap (
page 489), make
sure the tire inflation pressure of all
four tires is correct.

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 inflation pressure rec-
ommended for the vehicle operating condition.
Tire inflation pressure should only be adjusted
on cold tires. Observe the recommended tire in-
flation pressure on the placard on the driver’s
door B-pillar (
page 503). Some vehicles may
have supplemental tire inflation pressure infor-
mation for driving at high speeds (
page 510)
or for vehicle loads less than the maximum load-
ed vehicle condition. If such information is pro-
vided, it can be found on the inside of the fuel
filler flap (
page 489).
i
After wheel rotation or sensor replacement,
the vehicle must be parked for 20 minutes be-
fore attempting to reactivate the TPMS.
