If a flat tire is detected while the system is re‐
setting and determining the inflation pressures,
all tires on the Control Display are displayed in
yellow. The message "Low tire!" is shown.
Low tire pressure message
The warning lamps come on in yellow
and red. A message appears on the
Control Display. In addition, a signal
sounds. There is a flat tire or substan‐
tial loss of tire pressure.
1.
Cautiously reduce the vehicle speed to be‐
low 50 mph/80 km/h. Avoid sudden braking
and steering maneuvers. Do not exceed a
speed of 50 mph/80 km/h.
Do not continue driving without run-
flat tires
Do not continue driving if the vehicle is not
equipped with run-flat tires; continued driv‐
ing may result in serious accidents.◀
2.
In the event of complete pressure loss, 0 psi/
0 kPa, you can estimate the possible dis‐
tance for continued driving on the basis of
the following guidelines:
▷
With a light load: 1 person without luggage:
approx. 155 miles/250 km
▷
With a medium load: 1 person, trunk full, or
2 people without luggage: approx. 95 miles/
150 km
▷
With a full load: 2 people, trunk full: ap‐
prox. 30 miles/50 km
Continued driving with a flat tire
Drive moderately and do not exceed a
speed of 50 mph/80 km/h.
A loss of tire inflation pressure results in a
change in the handling characteristics, e.g., re‐
duced lane stability during braking, a longer
braking distance and altered self-steering prop‐
erties.◀
Final tire failure
Vibrations or loud noises while driving can
indicate the final failure of the tire. Reduce speed
and stop; otherwise, pieces of the tire could
come loose and cause an accident. Do not con‐
tinue driving, and contact your service center.◀
Message when not reset
The warning lamp lights up yellow. A
message appears on the Control Dis‐
play. The system was not reset, e.g.,
after a wheel change.

the larger warning lamp comes on in
yellow. On the Control Display, the
tires are shown in gray and a message appears.
No flat tire can be detected.
This type of message is shown in the following
situations:
▷
If there is a malfunction Have the system
checked.
▷
If a wheel without TPM electronics has been
mounted
▷
If TPM is temporarily malfunctioning due to
other systems or devices using the same
radio frequency.

Each tire should be checked monthly when cold
and inflated to the inflation pressure recom‐
mended by the vehicle manufacturer on the ve‐
hicle placard or tire inflation pressure label. If
your vehicle has tires of a different size than the
