Checking tire inflation pressure
manually
Run Flat Indicator (Canada only)
Warning!
G
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.
Follow the steps below to achieve correct
tire inflation pressure:
When the multifunction display shows the
messageTire pressure Check tires,
one or more of your tires is significantly un-
derinflated. You should stop and check your
tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to
the proper tire inflation pressure as indicat-
ed on the vehicle’s tire information placard.
Driving on a significantly underinflated tire
causes the tire to overheat and can lead to
tire failure. Underinflation also reduces fuel
efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect
the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.
Each tire, including the spare, should be
checked monthly when cold and set to the
recommended tire inflation pressure as
specified on the Tire And Loading Informa-
tion placard (୴ page 377) or on the tire in-
flation pressure label (୴ page 382).

Remove the cap from the valve on one
tire.
Firmly press a tire gauge onto the
valve.
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
The Run Flat Indicator may function in a re-
stricted manner or with a delay
ț
if snow chains are mounted to the
vehicle
(୴ page 376) or, if available, the inside
of the fuel filler flap. If necessary, add
air to achieve the recommended tire in-
flation pressure.
ț
ț
in presence of ice and snow
if you are driving on a loose surface
(e.g. sand or gravel)
i If you have overfilled the tire, release tire in-
flation 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.
ț
if you are driving in a very sporty
manner (involving rapid acceleration or
high speeds in curves)
̈
̈
Install the valve cap.
Repeat this procedure for each tire.
