WARNING
The inflation pressures on the tyre label are ap‐
plicable only for tyres explicitly mentioned on
the label. Inflation pressures for tyres that may
be covered by the label – by size, speed cate‐
gory and load rating/load index – but not explic‐
itly mentioned on the label may be different.
Please obtain adequate inflation pressures in
accordance with the tyre manufacturer's speci‐
fications from your tyre dealer.
On the control display
The current tyre inflation pressure values and the
specified tyre inflation pressure values for the
mounted tyres can be displayed on the Control
Display.
To ensure that they are displayed correctly, the
tyre sizes must be stored in the system and must
have been set for the fitted tyres.
The current tyre inflation pressure value is shown
on each tyre.
The specified tyre inflation pressure value is lo‐
cated towards the bottom of the Control Display.
Checking the tyre inflation
pressure
General
Tyres heat up while driving. The tyre inflation
pressure increases with the temperature of the
tyre.
Tyres have a natural, uniform loss of tyre inflation
pressure.
Inflating devices can display a pressure that may
be up to 0.1 bar too low.

Checking using tyre inflation
pressure inscriptions on the door
pillar
1. Determine the specified tyre inflation pres‐
sures for the tyres installed on the vehicle.
2. Check the tyre inflation pressure in all four
tyres, using a pressure gauge, for example.
3. Correct the tyre inflation pressure if the cur‐
rent tyre inflation pressure deviates from the
specified tyre inflation pressure.
4. Check whether all valve caps are screwed
onto the tyre valves.
The tyre inflation pressure information on the
tyre inflation pressure plate on the door pillar only
relates to cold tyres or tyres at the same temper‐
ature as the ambient temperature.
Only check the tyre inflation pressures when the
tyres are cold, i.e.:
▷ If the vehicle has been driven a distance of no
more than 2 km, 1.25 miles.
▷ If the vehicle has not moved again for at least
2 hours after a journey.
Checking using the tyre inflation
pressure information on the control
display
1. "CAR"
2. "Vehicle status"
3. "Tyre Pressure Monitor"
4. Check if the current tyre inflation pressures
match the specified tyre pressure value.
5. Correct the tyre inflation pressure if the cur‐
rent tyre inflation pressure deviates from the
specified tyre inflation pressure.
After adjusting the tyre inflation
pressure
For runflat indicator RPA:
Reinitialise the runflat indicator RPA.
