Resetting Tire Pressure Monitoring System

Reactivating the tire pressure monitoring system

The tire pressure monitoring system must be reactivated in the following situations:
- If you have changed the tire inflation pressure.
- If you have replaced the wheels or tires.
- If you have installed new wheels or tires.

Using the tire placard on the driver's door B-pillar or, if available, on the inside of the fuel filler flap, make sure the tire inflation pressure of all four tires is correct.

Press "forward" or "back" button repeatedly until you see the current inflation pressures for each tire appear in the multifunction display or the following message appears in the multifunction display:

Tire pressure
displayed only
after driving
a few mins.

If you are transporting a deflated tire in the vehicle, do not activate the tire inflation pressure monitor until
- the deflated tire is no longer in the vehicle
- you have inflated the tire to the correct tire inflation pressure

- Press the reset button "R" on the instrument cluster.

The following message will appear in the multifunction display:

Check current
tire pres.?

- Press the "+" button.

The following message will appear in the multifunction display field:

Tire pres. monitor
reactivated

The tire pressure monitoring system will now monitor the tire inflation pressure values of all four tires.

The following message will appear in the multifunction display field:

Tire pressure
displayed only
after driving
a few mins.

This display appears until the individual inflation pressure values are matched with the tires. The individual values are then displayed.

If you wish to cancel activation:

- Press the "-" button.

If one of the following messages appears in the multifunction display:

reactivate tire
pressure monitor
after rectifying
pressure

Tire pressure
Please rectify

- Check the tire inflation pressures and correct them if necessary.
- Reactivate the tire pressure monitoring system.

After you have reactivated the tire pressure monitoring system, the current tire inflation pressure values will only be shown after several minutes of driving. During this time, the following message appears in the display:

Tire pressure
displayed only
after driving
a few mins.

The time before the tire inflation pressures are shown depends on whether or not

- you have mounted new tires
- the old tires are still on the vehicle

If you have mounted new tires, it will take slightly longer before the tire inflation pressures are shown in the display.

If the positions of the wheels have not been changed on the vehicle, the tire inflation pressure are shown correctly after a short period. If the positions of the wheels have been switched, however, it is possible that the tire inflation pressures are temporarily shown for the wrong wheel positions. They are corrected after a few minutes of driving, and the tire inflation pressures are shown for the correct wheel positions.
