Start the engine - do not drive away.
Start the initialization with "Reset".
Drive away.
A loss of tire inflation pressure results in a
change in the handling characteristics, e.g., re‐
duced lane stability during braking, a longer
braking distance and altered self-steering prop‐
erties.◀
The initialization is completed while driving,
which can be interrupted at any time.
Continued driving with a flat tire and trailer
The initialization automatically continues when
driving resumes.
When towing a trailer, heavy trailers in par‐
ticular may start swinging. Therefore, do not ex‐
ceed 35 mph/60 km/h; otherwise, there is the
danger of an accident.◀
Indication of a flat tire
The yellow warning lamp and the vehicle
symbol light up. A message appears on
the Control Display. In addition, a signal
sounds.
Final failure of tire
Vibrations or loud noises while driving can
indicate the final failure of the tire. Reduce speed
and stop; otherwise, pieces of the tire could
come loose and cause an accident. Do not con‐
tinue driving and contact your authorized deal‐
ership.◀
There is a flat tire or a major loss in tire inflation
pressure.

Continued driving with a flat tire
Possible driving distance with complete loss of
tire inflation pressure:
▷
With a light load: 1 to 2 people without lug‐
gage: Approx. 155 miles/250 km.
The status is displayed.
▷
With a medium load: 2 people, trunk full, or

▷
With a full load: 4 people, trunk full: Approx.
30 miles/50 km.
This system issues a warning at speeds above
approx. 40 mph/65 km/h if the vehicle is about
to leave the lane on roads with lane lines.
Continued driving with a flat tire
Drive moderately and do not exceed a
speed of 50 mph/80 km/h.
The steering wheel begins vibrating gently.
