The system could issue a false warning
or function in a delayed manner in the
following situations:
> System was not initialized
> You are driving on a snow-covered or
slippery road surface
> Performance-oriented driving: slip at
the drive wheels, high levels of lateral
acceleration
> You are driving with snow chains
Initializing the system
The initialization is completed
while you are driving, and can be
interrupted at any time. Initialization is
automatically continued when you con-
tinue driving. When driving with snow
chains, do not initialize the system.
<
1. Before driving off, start the engine
but do not start driving
2. Press the button as long as you need
to, but no more than 8 seconds, until
the indicator lamp in the instrument
cluster lights up in yellow for several
seconds
3. Drive off. Initialization is completed
during the drive without any feed-
back issued.
When driving with snow chains,
do not initialize the system.

To activate/deactivate the system
The system is automatically activated in
ignition key position 2 and conse-
quently is on whenever the vehicle is
operated.
To deactivate the system: tap the but-
ton, the indicator lamp will light up yel-
low.
To activate the system: tap the button
again; the indicator lamp goes out.
Deactivate the system when snow
chains are mounted, since false warn-
ings and undetected losses in pressure
are possible under these kinds of con-
ditions.
