Resetting the system

Each time a tire inflation pressure has been

corrected or a wheel or tire has been changed,

reset the system.

For operating principle refer to page 74.

1. Start the engine, but do not start driving.

2. Lightly push button 1 in the turn indicator

lever up or down repeatedly until the corre-

sponding symbol appears in the display

accompanied by the word "RESET".

3. Press button 2 to confirm your choice of the

Tire Pressure Monitor. The following dis-

play appears:

4. Press button 2 for approx. 5 seconds, until

the reading shown below is displayed:

5. Start driving.

After several minutes of driving time, the

adjusted inflation pressures will be adopted as

nominal values. The resetting is completed

automatically as you drive. The indicator lamp

goes out after the system reset is completed.

You can stop driving at any time. The resetting

continues automatically when you resume driv-

ing.

Message for low tire inflation pressure

The warning lamps come on in yellow

and red. In addition, a signal sounds.

>There is a flat tire or substantial loss

of tire pressure.

> The system was not reset after a wheel

change and will thus issue warnings at the

last initialized inflation pressures.

Cautiously reduce speed to below 50 mph/

80 km/h. Avoid sudden braking and steering

maneuvers. Do not exceed a speed of 50 mph/

80 km/h.

Do not continue driving if the vehicle is

not equipped with run-flat tires, refer to

page 142; continued driving could result in a

severe accident.<

Continuing to drive with a flat tire

Possible travel distance with complete tire

pressure loss:

> With a light load:

1 to 2 persons without luggage:

Approx. 155 miles/250 km

> With a medium load:

2 persons, cargo area full, or 4 persons

without luggage:

Approx. 95 miles/150 km

> With a full load:

4 persons, cargo area full:

Approx. 30 miles/50 km

Drive cautiously and do not exceed a

speed of 50 mph/80 km/h.

When there is a tire pressure loss, the handling

characteristics change, e.g. there will be

reduced directional stability during braking,

braking distances will be longer, and self-steer-

ing response will change.<
