Reactivating Advanced TPMS*
The TPMS must be reactivated when you
have adjusted the tire inflation pressure to
a new level (e.g. because of different load
or driving conditions). The TPMS is then
recalibrated to the current tire inflation
pressures.
̈
Using the tire placard on the driver’s
door B-pillar (
page 369) or, if avail-
able, the supplemental tire pressure
information on the inside of the fuel
filler flap (
page 374), make sure the
tire inflation pressure of all four tires is
correct.

tifunction steering wheel repeatedly

Press the
j or k button repeat-
edly until you see the current inflation
pressures for each tire appear in the
display or the following message ap-

Underinflation also reduces fuel efficiency
and tire tread life, and may effect the vehi-
cle’s handling and stopping ability. Please
note that the TPMS is not a substitute for
proper tire maintenance, and it is the driv-
er’s responsibility to maintain correct tire
pressure, even if under-inflation has not
reached the level to trigger illumination of
the TPMS low tire pressure telltale.
i
Operating radio transmission equipment
(e.g. wireless headsets, two-way radios) in or
near the vehicle could cause the TPMS to mal-
function.
Warning!
G
It is the driver’s responsibility to calibrate
the TPMS on the recommended cold infla-
tion pressure. Underinflated tires affect the
ability to steer or brake the vehicle. You
might lose control over the vehicle.
i
Reactivate the TPMS after adjusting the tire
inflation pressure to the inflation pressure rec-
ommended for the vehicle operating condition.
Tire pressure should only be adjusted on cold
tires. Observe the recommended tire inflation
pressure on the placard on the driver’s door
B-pillar (
page 369). Some vehicles may have
supplemental tire pressure information for driv-
ing at high speeds (
page 375) or for vehicle
loads less than the maximum loaded vehicle con-
dition (
page 375). If such information is pro-
vided, it can be found on the inside of the fuel
filler flap.
