Practical hints Vehicle status messages in the multifunction display Display messages Possible cause/consequence Tire Pressure Check Tires The tire pressure in one or more tires is already below the minimum value. Possible solution X X X H Carefully bring the vehicle to a halt, avoiding abrupt steering and braking maneuvers. Check and adjust tire pressure as required. If necessary, change the wheel (Y page 322). G Warning! Do not drive with a flat tire. A flat tire affects the ability to steer or brake the vehicle. You may lose control of the vehicle. Continued driving with a flat tire will cause excessive heat build-up and possibly a fire. G Warning! Follow recommended tire inflation pressures. Do not underinflate tires. Underinflated tires wear excessively and/or unevenly, adversely affect handling and fuel economy, and are more likely to fail from being overheated. Do not overinflate tires. Overinflated tires can adversely affect handling and ride comfort, wear unevenly, increase stopping distance, and result in sudden deflation (blowout) because they are more likely to become punctured or damaged by road debris, potholes etc. 296
