Tyre pressure monitoring (TPMS)*
28
-
driveable punctured tyres*
If SST (Self Supporting run flat Tires)* is
selected, the car is also equipped with TPMS
(p. 324).
This type of tyre has a specially reinforced
side wall that makes continued driving possi-
ble to a limited extent despite the tyre losing
all or some of its pressure. These tyres are fit-
ted on a special rim. (Normal tyres can also
be fitted to this rim.)
If an SST tyre loses tyre pressure then the
yellow TPMS lamp in the combined instru-
ment panel illuminates and a message is
shown in the information display. If this
occurs, reduce speed to max. 80 km/h. The
tyre must be replaced as soon as possible.
Drive carefully, in some cases it can be diffi-
cult to see which tyre is faulty. In order to
establish which tyre needs attention, check
all four tyres.
WARNING
Only people with knowledge of SST tyres
should fit them.
SST tyres must only be fitted together with
TPMS.
After an error message about low tyre
pressure has been shown, do not drive
faster than 80 km/h.
Maximum mileage before tyre replacement
is 80 km.
Avoid hard driving such as sudden braking
or turning.
SST tyres must be replaced if they are
damaged or punctured.

rectifying low tyre pressure
The tyre pressure monitoring system TPMS
(Tyre Pressure Monitoring System)
31
warns
the driver when the pressure is too low in one
or more of the car's tyres and indicates the
tyre to which it applies.
Yellow is shown at the first indication of low
tyre pressure, stop and check the tyre pres-
sure as soon as possible.
Red indicates a much lower pressure than
recommended, stop and rectify the tyre pres-
sure immediately.
If a message for low tyre pressure is shown in
the display:
1. Check the tyre pressure on the tyre in
question.
2. Inflate the tyre(s) to the correct pressure.
3. Drive at least at 30 km/h for several
minutes and check that the message dis-
appears.
