Direct System (Tire Pressure Monitor)
CAUTION:
Do not initialize the system while snow chains are attached.
NOTE:
Each time a tire inflation pressure has been corrected or a wheel or tire has been changed, reset the system.
IMPORTANT:
The system does not work correctly if it has not been reset; for example, a flat tire may be indicated even though the tire inflation pressures are correct. The system is inactive and cannot indicate a flat tire if a wheel without TPM electronics, such as a compact spare wheel, has been mounted, or if TPM is temporarily malfunctioning due to other systems or devices using the same radio frequency.
Reset:
- Start the engine.
- Lightly push button 1 on the turn indicator. See Fig 1.
- Lever the turn indicator up or down repeatedly until the tire monitor symbol appears in the display, accompanied by the word "RESET". See Fig 1.
- Press button 2 to confirm your choice of the Tire Pressure Monitor. In the display, "ACTIVE" will appear above "RESET". See Fig 1.
- Press button 2 for approx. 5 seconds. In the display, "RESETTING" will now appear above "RESET". See Fig 1.
- Drive the vehicle.
After driving a few minutes, the set inflation pressures in the tires are accepted as the target values to be monitored. The system reset is completed during your drive, and can be interrupted at any time. When driving resumes, the reset is continued automatically. The indicator lamp goes out after the system reset is completed.
System Reset Failure:
- Message For Unsuccessful System Reset: The warning lamp lights up yellow. The system was not reset. Check the tire inflation pressure and reset the system.
- Malfunction:
The small warning lamp flashes in yellow and then lights up continuously; the larger warning lamp comes on in yellow. On the Control Display, the tires are shown in gray and a message appears. No punctures can be detected. This type of message is shown in the following situations:
- If there is a malfunction. Have the system checked.
- If a wheel without TPM electronics has been mounted.
- If TPM is temporarily malfunctioning due to other systems or devices using the same radio frequency.
