Operation

Tires and wheels

Reactivating the 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 285) or, if avail-

able, the supplemental tire pressure
information on the inside of the fuel fill-
er flap (

page 269), make sure the tire

inflation pressure of all four tires is cor-
rect.

̈

Press button

è or ÿ on the mul-

tifunction steering wheel repeatedly
until the standard display menu ap-
pears in the multifunction display
(

page 140).

̈

Press the

j or k button repeat-

edly until you see the flowing message:

Reactivation possible:
R-button

̈

Press the reset button.

The following message will appear in
the multifunction display:

tire pressure?

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 loose control over the vehicle.

i

Reactivate the TPMS after adjusting
the tire inflation pressure to the infla-
tion pressure recommended for the
vehicle operating condition. Tire pres-
sure should only be adjusted on cold
tires. Observe the recommended tire
inflation pressure on the placard on the
driver’s door B-pillar (

page 285).

Some vehicles may have supplemental
tire pressure information for driving at
high speeds (

page 292) or for vehicle

loads less than the maximum loaded
vehicle condition (

page 292). If such

information is provided, it can be found
on the inside of the fuel filler flap.
