5.
Change to upper field if necessary. Turn the
controller until "FTM" is selected and press
the controller.
3.
Repair flat tire with M Mobility System, refer
to page 225, or replace the damaged wheel,
refer to Changing wheels on page 227.
TPM Tire Pressure Monitor*
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.
6.

8.
Start the engine, but do not start driving.
Select "Reset" and press the controller.
Select "Yes" and press the controller.
Functional requirement
In order to assure the reliable reporting of a flat
tire, the system must be reset at the correct tire
inflation pressure.
Always use wheels with TPM electronics, oth-
erwise fault-free operation of the system is not
ensured.
Reset the system again after each correc-
tion of the tire inflation pressure and after
every tire or wheel change.<
System limits
TPM cannot announce sudden serious tire
damage caused by external influences.
"resetting FTM …" is displayed for a few
seconds. The warning lamp in the instru-
ment cluster lights up yellow for a few sec-
onds.
The system does not function properly if it has
not been reset, e.g. a flat tire is reported despite
correct tire inflation pressures.
9.
Start to drive.
The initialization finishes during driving
without feedback.
The system is inactive and cannot display a flat
tire if a wheel has been mounted without TPM
electronics, or if TPM is temporarily interfered
with by other systems or devices which use the
same radio frequency.
Indication of a flat tire
The warning lamp lights up red. A mes-
sage appears on the Control Display.
In addition, an acoustic signal sounds.
There is a flat tire or extensive inflation pressure
loss.
Status display on Control Display
The tire and system status is indicated by the
color of the tires.
1.
Reduce speed and stop the vehicle care-
fully. Avoid sudden braking and steering
maneuvers.
TPM takes the fact that the tire pressure
changes during driving into account. A correc-
tion is only required if requested by TPM with
the color.
2.
Identify damaged tire. To do this, check the
tire inflation pressure using the M Mobility
System, refer to Producing tire inflation
pressure on page 227.
Green
The tire pressure matches the learned set state.
