Action in the event of warning for
low tyre pressure
When the system for tyre pressure
6
warns
that tyre pressure is too low, action is
required.
Check and rectify the tyre
pressure when the indicator
symbol for the system is illu-
minated and the
Tyre
pressure low message is
shown.
1. Switch off the car.
2. Check the tyre pressure in all four tyres
with a tyre pressure gauge.
3. Inflate the tyres to the correct pressure,
see the decal on the door pillar on the driv-
er's side showing the recommended pres-
sure for factory fitted tyres.
4. Always save a new tyre pressure in the
system via the centre display after the tyre
pressure has been adjusted.
Note that the indicator symbol does not
extinguish until the low tyre pressure has
been rectified and storing a new tyre pres-
sure has been started.
NOTE
To avoid incorrect tyre pressure, the pres-
sure should be checked on cold tyres.
"Cold tyres" means the tyres are the same
temperature as the ambient temperature
(approx. 3 hours after the car has been
driven). After a few kilometres of driving,
the tyres warm up and the pressure increa-
ses.
NOTE
•
After a tyre has been inflated, always
refit the dust cap in order to avoid
damage to the valve from gravel, dirt,
etc.
•
Only use plastic dust caps. Metal dust
caps can rust and become difficult to
unscrew.
WARNING
•
Incorrect tyre pressure may lead to tyre
failure, which could result in the driver
losing control of the car.
•
The system cannot indicate sudden
tyre damage in advance.
