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 286) or, if avail-
able, the supplemental tire pressure
information on the inside of the fuel
filler flap (
page 292), 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 139).
̈ 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 ap-
pears in the display

After a few minutes driving, the current

cepted as reference values and then
monitored.

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 pressure should only be adjusted on cold
tires. Observe the recommended tire inflation
pressure on the placard on the driver’s door
B-pillar (
page 286). Some vehicles may have
supplemental tire pressure information for driv-
ing at high speeds (
page 292) or for vehicle
loads less than the maximum loaded vehicle con-
dition (
page 292). If such information is pro-
vided, it can be found on the inside of the fuel
filler flap.
