Tyre pressure monitor
The tyre pressure monitor only functions
when the corresponding wheel electronics
are fitted in all wheels. They monitor the
pressures that you set in all 4 tyres when
you activated the tyre pressure monitor.
The tyre pressure monitor warns you if the
pressure drops in one or more of the
tyres.

Risk of accident
You should always adjust the tyre pressures
according to the vehicle load. The tyre pres-
sure monitor does not warn you if a tyre
pressure is incorrect. It only warns you if
the tyre pressure drops significantly below
the reference tyre pressure stored after the
tyre pressure is set during calibration. You
must refer to the table inside the fuel filler
flap to decide whether the tyre pressure
needs to be corrected.
In particular, the driver is responsible for ad-
justing the tyre pressures accordingly if the
vehicle payload is increased.
Make sure that you always recalibrate the
tyre pressure monitor after you have
changed the tyre pressure. The tyre pres-
sure monitor is not able to warn you of a
sudden loss of pressure, e.g. following pene-
tration by a foreign object. In this event,
brake the vehicle until it comes to a stand-
still. Do not carry out any sudden steering
manoeuvres.
i The tyre pressure monitor only functions
when the corresponding wheel electronics are
fitted in all wheels.
If radio transmitting equipment (e.g. wireless
headphones, two-way radios) is operated inside
the vehicle or in the vicinity of the vehicle, this
can interfere with the operation of the tyre
pressure monitor.
