Flat Tire Monitor*
Brake force display
When driving with snow chains or
a space-saver spare tire, do not
initialize the system.<
Because the sides of Run Flat
tires are reinforced, a drop in infla- driver of the vehicle behind you how
tion pressure usually cannot be
detected from the outside, refer to Run
Flat tires, page 150.<
The brake force display indicates to the
hard you are braking your vehicle.
The display has two levels:
Flat tire
>
>
Normal braking: the brake lamps
among the rear lamps and the center
brake lamp light up
Hard braking or use of ABS: the tail
lamps light up with the same bright-
ness as the brake lamps and thereby
intensify the visual effect of the brake
lamps.
The indicator lamp in the instru-
ment cluster lights up red. This
visual alert is accompanied by
an acoustic warning signal.

instructions under Driving with a
