NOTE: TECHNICAL INFORMATION
After replacing a tire or wheel electronics, the wheel electronics must be reprogrammed for the tire!
If the programmable wheel electronics are depressurized (tires removed) longer than 2 min, then the tire data set written on the wheel electronics is deleted.
The programmable wheel electronics must be reprogrammed with the tire data set from the QR code on the tire sidewall using the special tool (RDC Tool).
New: If no QR code is available on the tire, the tire data must be programmed manually using the special tool (RDC Tool) (see flowchart).
The exact procedure must be taken from the operating instructions for the special tool (RDC Tool).

Scan the tire data (QR code) with the special tool 2 456 858 on the tire.
Program the tire data on the wheel electronics (1) with the special tool 2 456 858 .
Adjust the tire pressure.
Start the tire recognition in the central information display (CID).

Flowchart for tire data programming.

Manual tire data programming:

-> In the main menu of the RDC Tool, start "manual tire programming".

-> Select vehicle model, tire manufacturer and wheel size.

-> Select the correct tire size.

-> Start programming via the "OK" button or the arrow button ">" (1).

-> The arrow button "<" takes you back to the selection "Vehicle model, tire manufacturer and wheel size".

With "OK", you can switch between the main and submenus (see diagram).
You can use the "<" and ">" arrow buttons to directly switch back and forth between the submenus (see diagram).
