In order for the tire pressure monitoring system to work, the specified pressures (provided on tire pressure label) must be reprogrammed after every change in air pressure.

NOTE:

Whenever tire pressure is adjusted (i.e., when readjusting tire pressure for a load condition), or after every wheel change, the adjusted pressure has to be stored again. See appropriate STORING TIRE INFLATION PRESSURES procedure.

1. Ensure air pressure in all tires is properly adjusted to specification.
2. On the center instrument cluster display (on some models, in MMI), press the CAR function button. See Fig. 10.

   NOTE:

   On some newer models start menu selection with SERVICING & CHECKS.

3. Select TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING.
4. Select STORE TIRE PRESSURES or STORE NOW.

or

1. Press the CAR function button.

STORING TIRE INFLATION PRESSURES - PROCEDURE 3

NOTE:

In order for the tire pressure monitoring system to work, the specified pressures (provided on tire pressure label located on driver's side door pillar) must be reprogrammed after every change in air pressure or after every wheel change.

1. Turn ignition switch to ON position.
2. Press the MENU button to open the start menu.
3. Move the selection arrow to "SET" by rotating the turn/push knob.
4. Press the turn/push knob. The settings menu will appear.
5. Move the selection arrow to "TIRE PRESSURE" by rotating the turn/push knob.
6. Press the turn/push knob. The sub-menu TIRE PRESSURE will appear.
7. Move the selection arrow to "STORE PRESSURES!". See Fig. 11. When this is initiated, the system automatically starts the learning procedure.

   NOTE:

   The learning procedure is launched by storing the air pressures. It takes several minutes while you are driving. The system will learn the tire pressures set on the vehicle, and will check to see if any tires were changed. During the learning phase, the system is operable, but will only issue a warning when the pressure in one or more tires (including the spare) deviates from the specified pressure by more than 6 psi (41 kPa). If this occurs, the Red tire warning symbol and "CHECK TIRE PRESSURE" message will appear.

   NOTE:

   If a tire symbol with a slash through it appears in the display at the end of a learning phase, it means that the system cannot recognize which wheels are mounted on the vehicle. This may be because one or more wheels were mounted lacking a wheel sensor.

   NOTE:

   During the learning phase, if the system determines that there is a difference of more than 6 psi (41 kPa) between the air pressures on one axle, a message will be displayed showing both affected wheels.

8. Press the turn/push knob. A check mark will appear. The system reports that the store request was saved with "THE CURRENT TIRE PRESSURES WILL BE SAVED".
9. Move the selection arrow to "BACK".
10. Press the turn/push knob to leave the tire pressure menu.

STORING TIRE INFLATION PRESSURES - PROCEDURE 4

With vehicle stationary and ignition switch turned to ON position, press and hold TPMS and ESP/ASR buttons until a signal sounds. No further calibration (tire pressure re-adaptation) is required after basic calibration.

STORING TIRE INFLATION PRESSURES - PROCEDURE 5

NOTE:

In order for the tire pressure monitoring system to work, the specified pressures (provided on tire pressure label located on driver's side door pillar) must be reprogrammed after every change in air pressure or after every wheel change.

1. Ensure air pressure in all tires (including spare tire) is properly adjusted to specification.
2. On the windshield wiper lever, push the RESET button (Fig. 12) until the menu shown in in the illustration is displayed. See Fig. 7.
3. Push the rocker switch at the end of the lever to select the "SET" option.
4. Push RESET button.
5. Push the rocker switch to select the "TYRE PRESSURE" option. See Fig. 8.
6. Push RESET button.
7. Push the rocker switch to select "STORE PRESSURES" option. See Fig. 9.
8. After the tire pressures have been saved, the system will measure the actual pressures once again, and then save these as the new pressures.

STORING TIRE INFLATION PRESSURES - PROCEDURE 6

NOTE:

The correct saving of the specified values is a basic requirement for accurate tire pressure monitoring.

1. Adjust air pressure in all tires to specifications (provided on tire pressure label located inside fuel filler door or B pillar).
2. Turn ignition ON.
3. Select "CAR", "SYSTEMS", "TIRE PRESSURES MONITORING".
4. Press the multimedia control button on the center console when in the Tire Pressure Monitoring menu. See Fig. 13.

STORING TIRE INFLATION PRESSURES - PROCEDURE 7

NOTE:

The correct saving of the specified values is a basic requirement for accurate tire pressure monitoring.

CAUTION:

Only use the VAS 5051B on this vehicle.

1. Adjust air pressure in all tires to specifications.
2. Connect Vehicle Diagnosis and Service System VAS 5051B with corresponding diagnostic cable to vehicle.
3. Turn ON Vehicle Diagnosis and Service System.
4. Vehicle Diagnosis and Service System is ready when it displays operating modes in the button fields.
5. Turn ignition ON.
6. Select "GUIDED FUNCTIONS" on screen.
7. Select "TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM J502", and then "CODING CONTROL MODULE".
8. Follow the on screen instructions.

STORING TIRE INFLATION PRESSURES - PROCEDURE 8

NOTE:

The correct saving of the specified values is a basic requirement for accurate tire pressure monitoring.

Basic Procedure

1. Adjust air pressure in all tires to specifications (provided on tire pressure label located inside fuel filler door/B pillar).
2. Turn ignition ON.
3. Vehicle must be stationary.
4. Press the Tire Pressure Monitoring button on the center console switch strip for approximately 5 seconds or until a signal tone is heard and the Yellow malfunction light in the instrument cluster flashes several times, this confirms the calibration procedure.

Replacing A Tire Or Tire Pressure Sensor

Each time a tire is changed or a tire pressure sensor is replaced, the tire pressure monitoring button in the center console must be pressed for approximately 5 seconds with the ignition switched on and vehicle still under a signal tone is heard and the yellow system malfunction diagram in the instrument cluster blinks several times.

If the tire pressure monitoring button is not pressed, the system learns the new sensors but still activates the malfunction lamp to request active operation.

The vehicle must now stand for 20 minutes and then be driven on a 10 minute adaptation drive at speeds greater than 25 km/h. If the standing time is not followed, control module is not in learning mode so system recognizes a malfunction and can only automatically learn wheel electronics after standing 20 minutes.
