Tyre pressure monitor: Carrying out basic settingApplicable for tyre pressure monitoring with PR number 7K6 onlyTyre pressure monitoring (TPM) for NAR →   Chapter .

  Note

t  The basic setting of tyre pressure monitoring must only be performed “after” the tyre pressure has been corrected to the prescribed values.

t  If no pressure loss and tyre damage are found after a tyre pressure warning, the incorrect warning can be rectified by a basic setting.

The tyre pressure monitoring warning lamp compares the speed and the rolling circumference of the individual wheels via the ABS sensors. When the rolling circumference of one wheel is changed this is displayed by the tyre pressure monitoring. The rolling circumference of tyre changes if:t  The tyre pressure is too low.t  The tyre has structural damage.t  The vehicle is loaded more heavily on one side.

t  The wheels on one axle are loaded more heavily (e.g. when towing a trailer or when driving in mountains).

t  Snow chains are fitted.t  The temporary spare wheel is fitted.t  One wheel per axle has been changed.

   

The tyre pressure monitoring warning lamp has a yellow warning lamp in the dash panel insert -arrow-.

t 

“FLASHING LIGHT” means that the “INITIAL BASIC SETTING” has not been performed.

t 

A “PERMANENT LIGHTING-UP” in conjunction with a warning tone, means “WARNING”, pressure loss has been recognised, check tyre pressure and carry out system basic setting.

Carry out “INITIAL” basic setting:–  Switch on ignition.

 

– 

Press buttons ESP and SET simultaneously in the centre console and hold for longer than 2 seconds.

 

If the SET button is not in the centre console, it can be found in the glove compartment.If ESP is not fitted, press TCS button.The start of basic setting will be confirmed by an acoustic signal.When switching on ignition again, no warning is indicated.Carry out basic settings

–  Switch on ignition.

– 

Press the SET button in the centre console or in the glove compartment for longer than 2 seconds.

 

The tyre pressure monitoring warning lamp in dash panel insert -arrow- lights up as long as the button is pressed.The start of basic setting will be confirmed by an acoustic signal.When switching on ignition again, no warning is indicated.Tyre pressure monitor (TPM) for NAR

  Note

t 

The basic setting of the tyre pressure monitor must only be performed after the tyre inflation pressure has been corrected to the prescribed values.

t 

If no pressure loss and tyre damage are found after a tyre pressure warning, the incorrect warning can be rectified by a basic setting.

 

The tyre pressure monitoring warning lamp -K220- is in the dash panel insert -arrow-.After changing the tyre pressures or after changing one or more wheels, the following adaption must be performed:

–
