Wheels and tyres
●
The tyre pressure monitoring system can
only oper
ate correctly if all of the tyres are
inflated to the correct pressure when cold.
●
If a tyre has not been punctured and it does
not have to be changed immediately, drive to
the nearest specialised workshop at a mod-
erate speed and have the tyre checked and
inflated to the correct pressure.
Note
●
Driving for the first time with ne
w tyres at
a high speed can cause them to slightly ex-
pand, which could then produce an air pres-
sure warning.
●
If excessively low tyre pressure is detected
with the ignition on, an audible warning will
sound. In the event that there is a fault in the
system, an audible warning will sound.
●
Driving on unpaved roads for a long pe-
riod of time, or sporty driving, may tempora-
rily deactivate the system. The control lamp
shows a fault, but disappears when road
conditions or the driving style change.
●
Do not only rely on the tyre pressure moni-
toring system. Regularly check your tyres to
ensure that the tyre pressure is correct and
that the tyres are not damaged due to punc-
ture, cuts, tears and impacts/dents. Remove
objects from the tyres only when they have
not pierced the tyres.
●
The tyre pressure monitoring indicator
does not function when ther
e is a fault in the
ESC or ABS ›››page174.
Troubleshooting
Low tyre pressure
The contr
ol lamp switches on yellow.
The inflation pressure of one or more wheels is
much lower than the value set by the driver, or
the tyre has structural damage. In addition, a
audible warning sounds and a text message is
displayed on the instrument panel screen.
●
Stop the vehicle! St
op the vehicle safely
as soon as possible.
●
Check all tyres and pressures.
●
Replace any damaged tyres.
Fault in the tyre pressure loss indicator
The contr
ol lamp flashes for approximately 1
minute and then lights up permanently in yel-
low.
●
If the tyre is inflat
ed correctly, switch the igni-
tion o and on again.
●
Re-calibrate the tyre pressure monitoring sys-
tem ›››page359
●
If the fault continues, go to a specialised
workshop.
Tyre repair
TMS (Tyre Mobility System) puncture
repair kit
The puncture repair kit (Tyre Mobility System)
will reliably seal punctures caused by the pen-
etration of a foreign body of up to about 4 mm
in diameter. Do not remove foreign objects,
e.g. screws or nails, from the tyre.
After inserting the sealant residue in the tyre,
you must again check the tyre pressure about
10 minutes after starting the engine.
You should only use the tyre mobility set if the
vehicle is parked in a safe place, you are famil-
iar with the procedure and you have the nec-
essary tyre mobility set. Otherwise, you should
seek professional assistance.
Do not use the tyre sealant in the following
cases:
●
If the wheel rim has been damaged.
●
In outside temperatures below -20°C (-4°F).
●
In the event of cuts or perforations in the tyre
gr
eater than 4 mm.
●
If you have been driving with very low pres-
sure or a completely flat tyre.
●
If the sealant bottle has passed its use by
date.
