TPM Tire Pressure Monitor*
One wheel is yellow
Flat tire or a major drop in inflation pressure in
the indicated tire. A message appears on the
Control Display.
The concept
TPM checks the tire inflation pressure in the
four mounted tires. The system reports when
the tire inflation pressure has dropped consid-
erably in one or several tires.
All wheels are yellow
Flat tire or a major drop in inflation pressure in
several tires. A message appears on the Control
Display.
Function requirements
In order to assure the reliable reporting of a flat
tire, the system must have been reset with the
correct tire inflation pressure.
Gray
The system cannot detect a flat tire.
Reasons for this can be:
Always use wheels with TPM electronics, oth-
erwise fault-free operation of the system is not
ensured.
>
>
TPM is being reset
Temporary interference due to systems or
devices which use the same radio fre-
quency
Reset the system again after each correc-
tion of the tire inflation pressure and after
every tire or wheel change.<
>
Malfunction
System limits
Resetting system
TPM cannot announce sudden serious
tire damage caused by external influ-
ences.<
Reset the system again after each correc-
tion of the tire inflation pressure and after
every tire or wheel change.<
The system does not function properly if it has
not been reset, e.g. a flat tire is reported despite
correct tire inflation pressures.
Resetting finishes during driving, which can be
interrupted at any time. When driving resumes,
resetting is continued automatically. Do not
reset the system when driving with a compact
wheel*.
The system is inactive and cannot display a flat
tire if a wheel has been mounted without TPM
electronics, e.g. a compact wheel*, or if TPM is
temporarily interfered with by other systems or
devices which use the same radio frequency.
iDrive, for operating principle refer to page 16.
