Tire Pressure Display, Performing Basic Setting

Tire Pressure Monitoring System for North America

• Basic setting of Tire Pressure Monitoring Display Indicator Lamp should always only be performed, after tire inflation pressure values have first been corrected to the proper values.

• If no pressure loss and no tire damage is detected after a tire pressure warning, the erroneous warning can be eliminated by a basic setting.

The yellow tire pressure monitoring display indicator lamp (K220) is inside the instrument cluster - arrow -.






Perform the following adaptation after changing tire pressures or replacing one or more wheels:

- Connect the Vehicle Diagnosis, Testing and Information System (5051) or newer model.

- Switch the ignition on.

- Touch the GUIDED FAULT FINDING button/field on the screen.

- Select vehicle data.

All control modules present are interrogated.

- Follow the instructions in "Guided Fault Finding" on the Vehicle Diagnosis, Testing and Information System (5051) or subsequent unit.

Applies only to tire pressure monitoring system display with PR number 7K6

Tire Pressure Monitoring System for North America, refer to

• Perform the basic setting on the tire pressure monitoring system display only "after" the tire pressures have been adjusted to the correct values.

• If no pressure loss and no tire damage is detected after a tire pressure warning, the erroneous warning can be eliminated by a basic setting.

The tire pressure monitoring system display compares the speed and the rolling circumference on each wheel using the ABS sensors. The tire pressure monitoring system display shows when there is a difference in the rolling circumference on a wheel. The rolling circumference changes when:

• the tire pressure is too low.

• Tires have structural damage.

• Vehicle is loaded on one side.

• wheels of one axle are loaded higher, for example, when towing trailer or driving uphill and downhill.

• Snow chains are installed.

• Spare wheel is installed.

• One wheel per axle was replaced.

The yellow tire pressure monitoring system display indicator lamp is inside the instrument cluster - arrow -.






• "BLINKING LIGHT" means that no "INITIAL BASIC SETTING" was performed yet.

• "STEADY LIGHT", in conjunction with a warning tone, indicates "WARNING", a loss of pressure has been recognized, check tire pressure, perform system basic setting.

Performing "INITIAL" basic setting:

- Switch the ignition on.

- Press both the ESP and SET buttons in the center console at the same time for longer than 2 seconds.






If the SET button is not in the center console, then it will be inside the glove compartment.






If the vehicle does have ESP, then press the ASR button.

Beginning of basic setting is confirm by a notifying tone.

On next new ignition start, warning does not appear.

Perform the basic setting

- Switch the ignition on.

- Press the SET button, either in the center console or in the glove compartment, for longer than 2 seconds.

The tire pressure monitoring system display indicator lamp in the instrument cluster - arrow - stays on as long as the button is pressed.






Beginning of basic setting is confirm by a notifying tone.

On next new ignition start, warning does not appear.
