There are two programs.

When driving on snow-covered or slippery
road surfaces.
With each press of the controller, you can
switch back and forth between "Comfort" and
"Sport".
Sporty driving style: slip in the drive wheels,
high lateral acceleration.
When driving with snow chains*.
Comfort program
The Comfort program is suitable for use
throughout the vehicle's entire speed range and
regardless of load.
Initializing system
The initialization is completed during driv-
ing, which can be interrupted at any time.
The initialization automatically continues when
driving resumes. Do not initialize the system
*
Sport program
You should select the Sport program for consis-
tently performance-oriented response from
shock absorbers and steering.

Select "Vehicle" and press the controller.
Select "FTM" and press the controller.
FTM Flat Tire Monitor*
The concept
The Flat Tire Monitor keeps track of the infla-
tion pressures in the four mounted tires as you
drive. The system triggers an alert whenever
the inflation pressure drops significantly in rela-
tion to the pressure in another tire.
When a loss of pressure occurs, the rolling
radius changes and with it, the rotational speed
of the wheels. This change is detected and sig-
naled as a flat tire.
The initialization menu appears.

5.
Start the engine, but do not begin to drive.
Select "SET" and press the controller.
Functional requirements
To ensure the reliable signaling of a flat tire, the
system must be initialized at the correct tire
inflation pressure.
During the initialization, "Initialization is run-
ning and will be completed after driving for a
while! Status: FTM is being initialized"
appears on the Control Display.
The initialization must be repeated after
every correction of the tire inflation pres-
sure and after every tire or wheel change.<
6.
Start driving.
It takes at least 10 minutes before the Flat
Tire Monitor can detect and report a flat tire.
System limits
The initialization is completed during driving.
Then the message "Only set after tire pressure
is correctly adjusted (vehicle must be stopped
and ignition on) Status: active" appears on the
Control Display again.
The Flat Tire Monitor cannot indicate
sudden severe tire damage caused by
outside factors and does not detect a natural,
even pressure drop in all four tires.<
In the following situations, the system could be
delayed or malfunction:
To exit the menu:
Select the
arrow and press the controller.
