Important safety notes

WARNING

Each tire, including the spare (if provided),

should be checked at least once a month

when cold and inflated to the pressure rec-

ommended by the vehicle manufacturer on

the Tire and Loading Information placard on

the driver's door B-pillar or the tire pressure

label on the inside of the fuel filler flap. If your

vehicle has tires of a different size than the

size indicated on the Tire and Loading Infor-

mation placard or the tire pressure label, you

should determine the proper tire pressure for

those tires.

As an added safety feature, your vehicle has

been equipped with a tire pressure monitoring

system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pres-

sure telltale when one or more of your tires

are significantly underinflated. Accordingly,

when the low tire pressure telltale illuminates,

you should stop and check your tires as soon

as possible, and inflate them to the proper

pressure. Driving on a significantly underin-

flated tire causes the tire to overheat and can

lead to tire failure. Underinflation also

reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and

may affect the vehicle's handling and stop-

ping ability.

Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute

for proper tire maintenance

, a

nd it is the driv-

er's responsibility to maintain correct tire

pressure, even if underinflation has not

reached the level to trigger illumination of the

TPMS low tire pressure telltale.

USA only:

Your vehicle has also been equipped with a

TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate if the

system is not operating properly. The TPMS

malfunction indicator is combined with the

low tire pressure telltale. When the system

detects a malfunction, the warning lamp will

flash for approximately a minute and then

remain continuously illuminated. This

sequence will be repeated every time the vehi-

cle is started as long as the malfunction

exists.

When the malfunction indicator is illuminated,

the system may not be able to detect or signal

low tire pressure as intended. TPMS malfunc-

tions may occur for a variety of reasons,

including the mounting of incompatible

replacement or alternate tires or wheels on

the vehicle that prevent the TPMS from func-

tioning properly. Always check the TPMS mal-

function telltale after replacing one or more

tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that

the replacement or alternate tires and wheels

allow the TPMS to continue to function prop-

erly.

It is the driver's responsibility to set the tire

pressure to that recommended for cold tires

which is suitable for the operating situation

(

Y page 349). Note that the correct tire pressure

for the current operating situation must first be

taught-in to the tire pressure monitor. If there is

a substantial loss of pressure, the warning

threshold for the warning message is aligned to

the reference values taught-in. Restart the tire

pressure monitor after adjusting the pressure of

the cold tires (

Y page 355). The current pres-

sures are saved as new reference values. As a

result, a warning message will appear if the tire

pressur

e d

rops significantly.

The tire pressure monitor does not warn you of

an incorrectly set tire pressure. Observe the

notes on the recommended tire pressure

(

Y page 349).

The tire pressure monitor is not able to warn you

of a sudden loss of pressure, e.g. if the tire is

penetrated by a foreign object. In the event of a

sudden loss of pressure, bring the vehicle to a

halt by braking carefully. Avoid abrupt steering

movements.

The tire pressure monitor has a yellow warning

lamp in the instrument cluster for indicating

pressure loss or a malfunction. Whether the

warning lamp flashes or lights up indicates

whether a tire pressure is too low or the tire

pressure monitor is malfunctioning:

if the warning lamp is lit continuously, the tire

pressure on one or more tires is significantly

too low. The tire pressure monitor is not mal-

functioning.

if the warning lamp flashes for around a

minute and then remains lit constantly, the

tire pressure monitor is malfunctioning.
