Checking tire pressures manually
To determine and set the correct tire pres-
sure, proceed as follows:
X
Remove the valve cap of the tire that is to
be checked.
X
Press the tire pressure gauge securely onto
the valve.

Read the tire pressure and compare it with
the recommended value on the Tire and
Loading Information placard on the B-pillar

If necessary, increase the tire pressure to
the recommended value (

Tire pressure monitor
General notes
If a tire pressure monitor is installed, the vehi-
cle's wheels have sensors that monitor the
tire pressures in all four tires. The tire pres-
sure monitor warns you if the pressure drops
in one or more of the tires. The tire pressure
monitor only functions if the corresponding
sensors are installed on all wheels.
Information on tire pressures is displayed in
the multifunction display. After a few minutes
of driving, the current tire pressure of each
tire is shown in the
Service
Service
menu of the mul-
tifunction display.
Example: current tire pressure display
For information on the message display, refer
to the "Checking the tire pressure electroni-
cally" section (
