Tyre pressure monitoring*
4
Tyre pressure monitoring warns the driver
when the pressure is too low in one or more
of the car's tyres. For certain markets the tyre
pressure monitoring is standard in accord-
ance with legal requirements.
There are two systems for tyre pressure
monitoring, TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring
System) and TM (Tyre Monitor). In the event
of uncertainty about which system the car
has, open the menu system MY CAR and
search for the car's settings:
•
The
Tyre pressure menu is used if it is
TPMS, see Tyre pressure monitoring sys-
tem (TPMS)* - general (p. 327)
•
The
Tyre monitoring menu is used if it is
TM, see Tyre pressure monitoring (TM)*
(p. 332).
The system does not replace normal tyre
maintenance.

- general
Tyre pressure monitoring (TPMS) (Tyre
Pressure Monitoring System)* warns the
driver when the pressure is too low in one or
more of the car's tyres.
Tyre pressure monitoring uses sensors
located inside the air valve in each wheel.
When the car is driven at about 30 km/h the
system detects the tyre pressure. If the pres-
sure is too low then a warning lamp
illumi-
nates in the combined instrument panel and
one of the following messages is shown:
•
Tyre pressure low Check front right
tyre
•
Tyre pressure low Check front left
tyre
•
Tyre pressure low Check rear right

•
Tyre pressure low Check rear left tyre
•
