Restarting the tire pressure monitor
WARNING
It is the driver's responsibility to set the tire
pressure to the recommended cold tire
pressure. Underinflated tires affect the ability
to steer or brake the vehicle. You might lose
control over the vehicle.
When you restart the tire pressure monitor, all existing warning messages are deleted and the warning lamps go out. The monitor uses the currently set tire pressures as the reference values for monitoring. In most cases, the tire pressure monitoring system recognizes the new reference values automatically.
However, you can also define reference
values manually as described here:
Set the tire pressure to the
value recommended for the corresponding
driving situation on the Tire and Loading
Information placard on the driver's side
B-pillar.
Additional tire pressure values for driving
at high speeds or with heavy loads can be
found in the tire pressure table on the
inside of the fuel filler flap.
Make sure that the tire pressure is correct
on all four wheels.
Make sure that the SmartKey is in position
2 in the ignition lock.
Press the
or
button on the
steering wheel to select the Service
menu.
Press the
or
button to select
Tire Pressure.
Press the
button.
The multifunction display shows the
current tire pressure of the individual tires
or the Tire pressures will be
displayed after driving a few
minutes message.
Press the
button.
The Use Current Pressures as New
Reference Values message appears in
the multifunction display.
If you wish to confirm the restart:
Press the
button.
The Tire Press. Monitor Restarted
message appears in the multifunction
display.
After driving for a few minutes, the system
checks whether the current tire pressures
are within the specified range. The new tire
pressures are then accepted as reference
values and monitored.
If you wish to cancel the restart:
Press the button.
The tire pressure values stored at the last
restart will continue to be monitored.
