9.
Start to drive.
System limitations
Initialization is completed while the car is
moving, without any feedback.
TPM cannot warn you in advance of sud-
den severe tire damage caused by out-
side influences.<
Indication of a flat tire
The system does not work correctly if it has not
been reset; for example, a flat tire may be indi-
cated even though the tire inflation pressures
are correct.
The warning lamps come on in yellow
and red. A message appears on the
Control Display. In addition, an
acoustic signal sounds. There is a flat
tire or substantial loss of tire pressure.
The system is inactive and cannot indicate a flat
tire if a wheel without TPM electronics has been
mounted, or if TPM is temporarily malfunction-
ing due to other systems or devices using the
same radio frequency.
1.
Reduce your speed and carefully stop the
car. Avoid sudden braking and steering
maneuvers.
2.
Identify the damaged tire. To do so, check
the tire pressure using the M Mobility Sys-
tem, refer to Producing the tire inflation
pressure on page 238.
Status indicator on the Control Display
The color of the wheels represents the status of
the tires and the system.
3.
Repair the flat tire with the M Mobility Sys-
tem, refer to page 238.
TPM takes into account that tire pressures
change while the vehicle is being driven. The
tire pressures do not need to be corrected
unless the TPM instructs you to do so by means
of color indicators.
Malfunction
The warning lamps come on in yel-
low. A message appears on the Con-
trol Display. The Flat Tire Monitor has
a malfunction or has failed. Have the

system checked as soon as possible.
"TPM active" appears on the Control Display.
Tire Pressure Monitor TPM*
One wheel yellow
There is a flat tire or substantial loss of tire pres-
sure in the indicated tire. A message appears on
the Control Display.
The concept
TPM checks the inflation pressures of the four
mounted tires. The system notifies you if there
is a significant loss of pressure in one or more
tires.
All wheels yellow
There is a flat tire or substantial loss of tire pres-
sure in several tires. A message appears on the
Control Display.
Functional requirement
In order to assure the reliable reporting of a flat
tire, the system must be reset while all tire infla-
tion pressures are correct.
Gray
The system cannot detect a puncture.
Possible reasons for this:
Always use wheels with TPM electronics. Oth-
erwise, the system may malfunction.
>
TPM is being reset
Each time a tire inflation pressure has
been corrected or a wheel or tire has been >
changed, reset the system.<
Temporary malfunction caused by systems
or devices using the same radio frequency
