Low tire pressure message
The yellow warning lamp lights up. A Check Control message is displayed.
- There is a flat tire or a major loss in tire inflation pressure.
- The system was not reset after a wheel change and thus warns based on the inflation pressures initialized last.
1. Reduce your speed and stop cautiously. Avoid sudden braking and steering maneuvers.
2. Check whether the vehicle is fitted with regular tires* or run-flat tires*.
Run-flat tires, are labeled with a circular symbol containing the letters RSC marked on the tire sidewall.
When a low inflation pressure is indicated, DSC Dynamic Stability Control is switched on if necessary.

The concept
The system does not measure the actual inflation
pressure in the tires.
It detects a pressure loss in a tire by comparing
the rotational speeds of the individual wheels
while moving.
In the ev ...
Tire inflation pressures at max. speeds
above 100 mph/160 km/h
Speeds above 100 mph/160 km/h
In order to drive at maximum speeds in excess
of 100 mph/160 km/h, please observe, and,
if necessary, adjust tire pressures for speeds
exceeding 100 mph/160 km/h ...
