̈ Install the valve cap.

Repeat this procedure for each tire.
Regularly check your tire inflation pressure
at least once a month.
Follow the steps below to achieve correct
tire inflation pressure:
Run Flat Indicator* (Canada only)
Check and adjust the tire inflation
pressure when the tires are cold. The tires
can be considered cold if the vehicle has
been parked for at least 3 hours or driven ̈ Firmly press a tire gauge onto the
less than 1 mile (1.6 km).
̈
Remove the cap from the valve on one
tire.
While the vehicle is being driven, the Run
Flat Indicator monitors the set tire inflation
pressures by evaluating each wheel’s rota-
tional speed. This allows the system to de-
tect a significant loss of pressure in a tire.
If a wheel’s rotational speed changes due
to falling tire inflation pressure, you will
see a corresponding warning message in
the multifunction display.
valve.
If you check the tire inflation pressure
when the tires are warm (the vehicle has
been driven for several miles or sitting less
than 3 hours), the reading will be
approximately 4 psi (0.3 bar) higher than
the cold reading. This is normal. Do not let
air out to match the specified cold tire in-
flation pressure. Otherwise, the tire will be
underinflated.
̈ Read tire inflation pressure on tire
gauge and check against the recom-
mended tire inflation pressure on the
placard on the driver’s door B-pillar
(୴ page 291). If necessary, add air to
achieve the recommended tire inflation
pressure.
The Run Flat Indicator may function in a re-
stricted manner or with a delay if:
ț
snow chains are mounted to the
vehicle
i
If you have overfilled the tire, release
tire inflation pressure by pushing the
metal stem of the valve with e.g. a tip of
a pen. Then recheck the tire inflation
pressure with the tire gauge.

sand or gravel)

you are driving in a very sporty manner
(involving rapid acceleration or high
speeds in curves)
