Instruments and controls Operation Driving Instrument cluster display Practical hints Car care Technical data Index Tire inflation pressure monitor Tire inflation pressure monitor The tire inflation pressure, as selected by the driver, is monitored in all four wheels on the ground. A warning is issued to the driver in the case of a decrease in the inflation pressure in one or more of the tires. Warning! The tire inflation pressure monitor does not indicate a warning for wrongly selected inflation pressures. Always adjust tire inflation pressure according to the label affixed on the fuel filler flap. See page 348 for tire inflation pressure. The tire inflation pressure monitor is not able to issue a warning due to a sudden loss of pressure (e.g. tire puncture caused by a foreign object). In this case bring vehicle to a halt by carefully applying the service brakes and avoiding abrupt steering maneuvers. 150 Inquiry of present tire inflation pressure Turn electronic key in starter switch to position 1 or 2.
