Tires and wheels
̈ Install the valve cap.
̈ Repeat this procedure for each tire.
Run Flat Indicator (Canada only)
While the vehicle is being driven, the Run
Flat Indicator monitors the set tire inflation
pressures by evaluating each wheel’s rota-
tional speed. This allows the system to de-
tect a significant loss of pressure in a tire.
If a wheel’s rotational speed changes due
to falling tire inflation pressure, you will
see a corresponding warning message in
the multifunction display.
The Run Flat Indicator may function in a re-
stricted manner or with a delay
ț if snow chains are mounted to the
vehicle
ț in presence of ice and snow
ț if you are driving on a loose surface
(e.g. sand or gravel)
ț if you are driving in a very sporty
manner (involving rapid acceleration or
high speeds in curves)
i
If you have overfilled the tire, release tire in-
flation pressure by pushing the metal stem of the
valve with e.g. a tip of a pen. Then recheck the
tire inflation pressure with the tire gauge.
Warning! G
When the multifunction display shows the
message
Tire Pressure Check Tires
,
one or more of your tires is significantly un-
derinflated. You should stop and check your
tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to
the proper tire inflation pressure as in-
dicated on the vehicle’s Tire and Loading
Information placard or, if available, on the
tire inflation pressure label. Driving on a sig-
nificantly underinflated tire causes the tire
to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Un-
derinflation also reduces fuel efficiency and
tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s
handling and stopping ability. Each tire, in-
cluding the spare, should be checked
monthly when cold and set to the recom-
mended tire inflation pressure as specified
on the Tire and Loading Information placard
(
୴ page 366) or on the tire inflation pres-
sure label located on the inside of the fuel
filler flap (
୴ page 352).
