Tire Pressure Monitoring System Display, Performing Basic Setting

Tire Pressure Monitoring System, Performing Basic Setting

Note
Basic setting of Tire Pressure Monitoring Display Indicator Lamp -K220- 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.

Tire Pressure Monitory System display is a component of ABS Control Module -J104- software.
ABS Control Module compares speed and rolling circumference of individual wheels with help of ABS sensors. If rolling circumference of a wheel changes, this is displayed via tire pressure control indicator. Rolling circumference of tire may be change if:
- Tire inflation pressure is too low.
- Tires have structural damage.
- Vehicle is loaded on one side.
- Wheels of one axle are loaded higher (e.g. when towing trailer or driving uphill and downhill).
- Snow chains are installed.
- Spare wheel is installed.
- One wheel per axle was replaced.

- "BLINKING LIGHT" means that no "INITIAL BASIC SETTING" was performed yet.
- "STEADY LIGHT", in conjunction with warning buzzer, means �WARNING�, a loss of pressure was detected, check tire inflation pressures, perform system basic setting.

Perform "INITIAL" basic setting.

The SET button is either in the center console or inside the glove compartment.
