For vehicles with Tyre Pressure Monitoring (TPM), which can be identified by aluminum valves, the tire pressure must be adjusted according to the >> Filling information << on the multi-function display. To do this, select >> Main menu >> Tyre pressure >> Filling information <<. Adjust the deviation values so that they range from 0.0 bar to +0.1 bar. Fill the tires according to the display using the tire-inflating device. Example: If the tire pressure display >> Filling information << shows - 0.2 bar, 0.2 bar pressure must be added.

Information

The >> Tyre pressure << display is for information purposes only.

Tyre pressure settings must only be entered according to the values in >> Fill info <<.

Due to the pressure and temperature relationship (approx. 0.1 bar/10° C), the actual pressure values displayed under >> Tyre pressure << on the multi-function display, or on the pressure gauge of the tire-inflating device, can deviate from the required pressure specified at 20° C on the tire pressure plate if the air temperature in the tire is significantly above (higher values) or significantly below 20° C (lower values). Changes in tire pressure are displayed after max. 1 minute under >> Filling information << after switching on the ignition. A series of dashes (-.-) will appear instead of the tire pressure during this time.

For vehicles with Tyre Pressure Monitoring (TPM), always use plastic valve caps. Plastic valve caps protect against dust, dirt and humidity, and therefore against damage (corrosion).

Tires are a safety element that meet the demands placed on them only if they have the correct air pressure and sufficient tread depth.

WARNING: Risk of accidents if the air pressure in the tires falls below the minimum pressure, if the tread depth is insufficient or if there are foreign bodies, pricks, cracks and bulges in the side wall (ply breakage).

Modified handling behavior can cause accidents and significant material damage.

→ The tire pressure must never fall below the values specified (these are minimum pressures).

→ The tread depth must never fall below the minimum value.

→ A visual inspection of the tires (for cracks, pricks, bulges in the side wall and/or foreign bodies) must be carried out.

Check condition and tire pressure.
Always screw on valve caps tightly and replace missing valve caps.
