System description - Tyre Pressure Monitoring System with indirect measurement (Tyre Pressure Loss Indicator)

Each time a wheel is changed, the system must be reprogrammed, irrespective of whether the same wheel is fitted in this position on the vehicle or a different wheel.

These versions are based on the conditions valid in the European Union and no guarantee can be provided for their completeness.

General information:

The tyre pressure monitoring system is part of the software in the ABS control unit -J104-. The system is used to detect slow tyre pressure loss from a wheel. Event memory entries for the Tyre Pressure Loss Indicator are stored in the ABS control unit -J104-. The Tyre Pressure Loss Indicator compares the speed and the rolling circumference of the individual wheels via the ABS sensors.

After the following work or modifications, the tyre pressure monitor display button -E492- must be pressed and held until a confirmation is sounded.

♦ Change in tyre pressures

♦ Changing one or more wheels

♦ Interchanging wheels, e.g. from front to rear

♦ Removing and fitting one or more wheels

A change in a wheel's rolling circumference will be indicated by the tyre pressure monitor warning lamp -K220- lighting up in the dash panel insert. A tyre's rolling circumference may change as a result of:

♦ Insufficient tyre pressure

♦ Structural tyre damage

♦ Uneven load distribution in the vehicle

♦ Increased load on one axle, e.g. due to towing a trailer

♦ Use of snow chains.

♦ Temporary spare wheel installed

♦ Wheel renewal

System fault in the ABS system

If a fault in the ABS is displayed by the ESP and TCS warning lamp -K155- then the Tyre Pressure Monitoring System warning lamp -K220- will also light up. However, no fault will be stored in the Tyre Pressure Loss Indicator system.

The warning lamp cannot be erased. In this case, carry out the following steps:

– Connect → Vehicle diagnostic tester and select “Guided Fault Finding” → Vehicle diagnostic tester.

Follow instructions on screen to perform basic setting.

Note

Depending on vehicle, the basic setting is performed in different ways.

Carrying out basic setting of Infotainment system

– Switch on ignition.

– Switch on Infotainment system.

– Press Infotainment button CAR.

– Press Setup function button.

– Press Tyres function button.

– Press Set function button.

– Press Confirm function button.

Carrying out basic setting using the SET button

● Ignition must be switched on.

● Handbrake of vehicle must be applied.

– Push SET button in centre console until an audible signal sounds.

An audible signal confirms that basic setting has been performed.

System description - Tyre Pressure Monitoring System with direct measurement (with tyre pressure sensor)

♦ If the wheels that originally came with the vehicle are replaced, ensure that the new wheels are equipped with tyre pressure sensors which are compatible with the factory-fitted Tyre Pressure Monitoring System → Chapter.

♦ New wheels with tyre pressure sensors will be identified and integrated in the system. For the new wheels to be detected, the vehicle must be driven for a while at a speed greater than 25 km/h (15 mph).

♦ When replacing or relocating tyre pressure sensors, always use a new set of valves and gaskets → Electronic parts catalogue (ETKA).

♦ Fitted wheels that have no tyre pressure sensors or incompatible ones are not able to recognise the tyre pressure control. The Tyre Pressure Monitoring System is then incapable of measuring the tyre inflation pressure. A malfunction is displayed or the system switches off.

These versions are based on the conditions valid in the European Union and no guarantee can be provided for their completeness.

Vehicles without Infotainment system

The driver can switch between partial and full load, poll the status and switch the Tyre Pressure Monitoring System on or off via button SET in the centre console.

Note

This button is not available for the North American region (NAR).

Messages and warnings are indicated via the lamp in the dash panel insert and texts in the dash panel insert display.

System description - Tyre Pressure Monitoring System, Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) with autolocation

♦ As previously the system is based on sensors in the tyres, the sensors send the inflation pressure data to the Tyre Pressure Monitoring System control unit -J502-.

♦ The function “autolocation” allows the system to react over a relatively short distance, sending inflation pressure and warnings correctly to the display in the dash panel insert.

♦ The “intelligent aerial” is a combined Tyre Pressure Monitoring System control unit and a central receiver aerial.

♦ Manual calibration is not necessary after renewing wheel electronics or changing a set of tyres. The Tyre Pressure Monitoring System automatically identifies new tyre pressure sensors and programs these as soon as driving commences.

Installing

● Always renew the metal valve completely.

● The hexagon flange nut may only be used once.

● To avoid corrosion, only nickel (silver) valve cores may be used.

● Only use air-tight plastic caps as valve caps.

● In the event of a damage, the affected valve must be renewed completely.

● Always renew tyre pressure sensors and valves when damaged.

● Never use steam cleaners or compressed air for cleaning the tyre pressure sensor.

● Always clean the tyre pressure sensor after application of tyre sealant. The bore to the pressure sensor in the housing must not be blocked. Cleaning the bore with compressed air is not permissible.

● When installed, the original final specified torque is reduced. Re-tightening the flange nut is not permissible.
