NotNotes on body/eqes on body/equipment mounting diruipment mounting directivectivesesFor safety reasons, have add-on equipment pro-duced and tted in accordance with the validMercedes-Benz body/equipment mounting direc-tives. These body/equipment mounting directivesensure that the chassis and add-on equipmentform one unit and that the greatest possible levelof operational and driving safety is achieved.Both vehicle manufacturers and body manufactur-ers must always ensure that the products theymanufacture come into circulation only in a safestate and do not pose any risks to people. Other-wise, there may be consequences under civil, crim-inal or public law. All manufacturers are responsi-ble for the products that they have manufactured.Manufacturers of attachments, add-on equipment,installations and conversions must guarantee com-pliance with Directive 2001/95/EC on generalproduct safety.
Mercedes-Benz recommends the following proce-dure for safety reasons:R Do not make any other changes to the vehicle.R Obtain approval from Mercedes-Benz in the
event of deviations from the approved body/equipment mounting directives.
Acceptance tests performed by public test bodiesor o cial approvals do not rule out safety risks.Comply with the information about Mercedes-Benzgenuine parts (/ page 16).You will nd the Mercedes-Benz body/equipmentmounting directives online at the https://bb-portal.mercedes-benz.com/en/GLOBALYou will also nd information about the PIN assign-ment and changing the fuse there.% You can obtain further information at a quali-
ed specialist workshop.
& WWARNINGARNING Risk of accident and injury inthe event of improper conversions orchanges to the vehicle
Conversions or changes to the vehicle can pre-vent systems or components from functioningproperly and/or jeopardise the vehicle'soperational safety.# Always have conversions or changes to
the vehicle carried out at a quali edworkshop.
NNoottes on tes on the rhe radiatadiatororEven seemingly minor changes to the vehicle, suchas attaching a radiator grille in winter, are not per-mitted. Do not cover the radiator.

high kerb or an unpaved roadR the vehicle is driven too fast over an obsta-
cle, e.g. a kerb, speed bump or potholeR a heavy object strikes the underbody or
suspension components
In situations such as these, damage to thebody, underbody, suspension components,wheels or tyres and high-voltage battery com-ponents may not be visible. Components dam-aged in this way can unexpectedly fail or, in thecase of an accident, may no longer absorb theresulting force as intended.# Have the vehicle checked and repaired
immediately at a quali ed specialistworkshop.
or# If driving safety is impaired while continu-
ing your journey, pull over and stop thevehicle immediately, while paying atten-tion to road and tra c conditions, andcontact a quali ed specialist workshop.
Electric vehicles have an electric motor. The elec-tric motor's voltage supply is provided by the high-voltage on-board electrical system.

The vehicle's high-voltage on-board electricalsystem is under high voltage. If you modifycomponent parts in the vehicle's high-voltageon-board electrical system or touch damagedcomponent parts, you may be electrocuted. Inaddition, modi ed and/or damaged compo-nents may cause a re.In the event of an accident or impact to thevehicle underbody, components of the high-voltage electrical system may be damagedalthough the damage is not visible.# Never make any modi cations to the
high-voltage on-board electrical system.
1818 General notes
# Do not switch on or use the vehicle if itshigh-voltage on-board electrical systemcomponents have been modi ed or dam-aged.
# Never touch damaged components of thehigh-voltage on-board electrical system.
# A er an accident, do not touch any com-ponents of the high-voltage on-boardelectrical system.
# A er an accident, have the vehicle trans-ported away.
# Have the components of the high-voltageon-board electrical system checked at aquali ed specialist workshop andreplaced if necessary.
The components of the vehicle's high-voltage on-board electrical system are marked with yellowwarning stickers. The cables of the vehicle's high-voltage on-board electrical system are orange.
Vehicles with an electric motor generate signi -cantly less noise than vehicles with combustionengines. As a result, your vehicle may not be heardby other road users in certain situations. This canoccur, for example, when you are parking and yourvehicle cannot be seen by other road users. Inorder to allow for the possibility that other roadusers may behave unpredictably, adopt a particu-larly anticipatory driving style.

Somecontrol units are required for the safe operation ofyour vehicle, some assist you when driving, suchas driver assistance systems, while others enablecomfort or infotainment functions.The following provides you with general informa-tion regarding data processing in the vehicle. Addi-tional information regarding exactly which data inyour vehicle are collected, saved and transmittedto third parties, and for what purpose, can befound in the information directly related to thefunctional characteristics in question in theirrespective operating instructions. This informationis also available online and, depending on the vehi-cle equipment, digitally.
PPerersonal datasonal dataEvery vehicle is identi ed by a unique vehicle iden-ti cation number. Depending on the country, thisvehicle identi cation number can be used by, forexample, governmental authorities to determinethe identity of the owner. There are other possibili-ties for using data collected from the vehicle toidentify the owner or driver, such as the licenceplate number.Therefore, data generated or processed by controlunits may be attributable to a person or, under cer-tain conditions, become attributable to a person.Depending on which vehicle data are available, itmay be possible to make inferences about, forexample, your driving behaviour, your location, yourroute or your use patterns.
LegLegal ral reqequiruirements rements regegararding tding the disclosurhe disclosure ofe ofdatadataIf legally required to do so, manufacturers are, inindividual cases, legally obliged to provide govern-mental entities, upon request and to the extentrequired, data stored by the manufacturer. Forexample, this may be the case during the investiga-tion of a criminal o ence.Governmental entities are themselves, in individualcases and within the applicable legal framework,authorised to read out data from the vehicle. In thecase of an accident, information that can help withan investigation can, therefore, be taken from theairbag control unit, for example.
OperOperational datational data in ta in the vhe vehicleehicleThis is data regarding the operation of the vehicle,which have been processed by control units.This includes the following data, for example:R vehicle status information such as the speed,
longitudinal acceleration, lateral acceleration,
number of wheel revolutions or the fastenedseat belts displayR ambient conditions, such as temperature, rain
sensor or distance sensor
Generally, these are volatile data and will not bestored beyond the period of operation but will onlybe processed within the vehicle itself. Controlunits, vehicle keys for example, o en contain datamemories. Their use permits the temporary or per-manent documentation of technical informationabout the vehicle's operating state, componentloads, maintenance requirements and technicalevents or faults.Depending on the technical equipment, the follow-ing data are stored:R operating status of system components, such
as ll levels, tyre pressure or battery statusR malfunctions or faults in important system
components, such as lights or brakesR system reactions in special driving situations,
such as airbag deployment or the interventionof stability control systemsR information on events in which the vehicle is
damaged
In certain cases, it may be required to store datathat would have otherwise been temporary. Thismay be the case if the vehicle has detected a mal-function, for example.If you use services, such as repair services andmaintenance work, stored operational data as wellas the vehicle identi cation number can be readout and used. They can be read out by service net-work employees, such as workshops and manufac-turers or third parties, such as breakdown serv-ices. The same is true in the case of warrantyclaims and quality assurance measures.In general, the readout is performed via the legallyprescribed port for the diagnostics connection inthe vehicle. The operational data that are read outdocument technical states of the vehicle or of indi-vidual components and assist in the diagnosis ofmalfunctions, compliance with warranty obliga-tions and quality improvement. To that end, thesedata, in particular information about componentloads, technical events, malfunctions and otherfaults may be transmitted along with the vehicleidenti cation number to the manufacturer. In addi-tion, the manufacturer is subject to product liabil-ity. For this reason, the manufacturer also usesoperational data from the vehicle, for example, for

RResestrtraint systaint systememProtProtection proection provided bvided by ty the rhe resestrtraint systaint systemem
The restraint system includes the following compo-nents:R Seat belt systemR AirbagsR Child restraint systemR Child seat securing systems
The restraint system can help prevent the vehicleoccupants from coming into contact with parts ofthe vehicle interior in the event of an accident. Inthe event of an accident, the restraint system canalso reduce the forces to which the vehicle occu-pants are subjected.Only a seat belt which is worn correctly can pro-vide the intended level of protection. Depending onthe detected accident situation, seat belt tension-ers and/or airbags supplement the protectiono ered by a correctly worn seat belt. Seat belt ten-sioners and/or airbags are not deployed in everyaccident.In order for the restraint system to provide theintended level of protection, each vehicle occupantmust observe the following information:R Fasten seat belts correctly.R Sit in an almost upright seat position with their
back against the seat backrest.R Sit with their feet resting on the oor, if possi-
ble.R Always secure persons under 1.50 m tall in an
additional restraint system suitable forMercedes-Benz vehicles.
However, no system available today can completelyeliminate injuries and fatalities in every accidentsituation. In particular, the seat belt and airbaggenerally do not protect against objects penetrat-ing the vehicle from the outside. It is also not pos-sible to completely rule out the risk of injurycaused by the airbag deploying.

Occupant safety 2929
FFunction of tunction of the rhe resestrtraint systaint system in an accidentem in an accident
How the restraint system works is determined bythe severity of the impact detected and the type ofaccident anticipated:R frontal impactR rear impactR side impactR overturning or rollover
The activation thresholds for the components ofthe restraint system are determined based on theevaluation of the sensor values measured at vari-ous points in the vehicle. This process is pre-emp-tive in nature. The triggering/deployment of thecomponents of the restraint system should takeplace in good time at the start of the collision.Factors which can only be seen and measureda er a collision has occurred cannot play a deci-sive role in airbag deployment. Nor do they providean indication of airbag deployment.The vehicle may be deformed signi cantly withoutan airbag being deployed. This is the case if onlyparts which are relatively easily deformed area ected and the rate of vehicle deceleration is nothigh. Conversely, an airbag may be deployed eventhough the vehicle su ers only minor deformation.If very rigid vehicle parts, such as longitudinalmembers, are hit, the vehicle deceleration may behigh enough for this to happen.Depending on the detected deployment situation,the components of the restraint system can beactivated or deployed independently of each other:R Seat belt tensioner: frontal impact, rear
impact, side impact, overturning, rolloverR Driver's airbag, front passenger airbag: frontal
impactR Side airbag: side impactR Window airbag: side impact, overturning, roll-
over, frontal impact
The co-driver airbag can only be deployed in theevent of an accident if the PASSENGER AIR BAGOFF indicator lamp is o . If the co-driver seat isoccupied, make sure, both before and during thejourney, that the status of the co-driver airbag iscorrect (/ page 36).
& WWARNINGARNING Risk of burns from hot airbagcomponents
The airbag parts are hot a er an airbag hasbeen deployed.
# Do not touch the airbag parts.# Have a deployed airbag replaced at a
quali ed specialist workshop as soon aspossible.
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you have thevehicle towed to a quali ed specialist workshopa er an accident. Take this into account, particu-larly if a seat belt tensioner is triggered or an air-bag deployed.If the seat belt tensioners are triggered or an air-bag is deployed, you will hear a bang, and a smallamount of powder may also be released:R the bang will not generally a ect your hearing.R in general, the powder released is not hazard-
ous to health but may cause short-term breath-ing di culties to persons su ering fromasthma or other pulmonary conditions.Provided it is safe to do so, leave the vehicleimmediately or open the window in order toprevent breathing di culties.

Always fasten your seat belt correctly before start-ing a journey. Only a seat belt which is worn cor-rectly can provide the intended level of protection.
& WWARNINGARNING Risk of injury or death due toincorrectly fastened seat belt
If the seat belt is not worn correctly, it cannotperform its intended protective function.In addition, an incorrectly fastened seat beltcan also cause injuries, for example, in theevent of an accident or when braking or chang-ing direction suddenly.# Always ensure that all vehicle occupants
have their seat belts fastened correctlyand are sitting properly.
Always observe the instructions about the correctdriver's seat position and adjusting the seat(/ page 70).
3030 Occupant safety
In order for the correctly worn seat belt to providethe intended level of protection, each vehicle occu-pant must observe the following information:R The seat belt must not be twisted and must t
tightly and snugly across the body.R The seat belt must be routed across the centre
of the shoulder and as low down across thehips as possible.R The shoulder section of the seat belt should
not touch your neck nor be routed under yourarm or behind your back.R Avoid wearing bulky clothing, e.g. a winter
coat.R Push the lap belt down as far as possible
across your hips and pull tight with the shoul-der section of the belt. Never route the lap beltacross your abdomen.Pregnant women must also take particular carewith this.R Never route the seat belt across sharp, poin-
ted, abrasive or fragile objects.R Only one person should use each seat belt at
any one time.R Never secure objects with a seat belt if the
seat belt is being used by one of the vehicle'soccupants.Also ensure that no objects, e.g. a cushion, areever placed between a person and the seat.
If children are travelling in the vehicle, alwaysobserve the instructions and safety notes on "Chil-dren in the vehicle" (/ page 39).Always observe the instructions for loading thevehicle when securing objects, luggage or loads(/ page 206).

DoDownhill grwnhill gradientsadientsOn long, steep gradients, you can reduce the loadon the brakes by increasing the level of recupera-tion (/ page 131).Recuperation allows the vehicle to be deceleratedwithout placing a load on the brake system. Thisprevents the brakes from overheating and causingexcessive wear.
HeaHeavy and light loadsvy and light loadsIf the brakes have been subjected to a heavy load,do not stop the vehicle immediately. Drive on for ashort while. The brakes cool down more quickly inthe air ow.If the brakes have been used only moderately, youshould occasionally test their e ectiveness. To dothis, brake more rmly from a higher speed whilepaying attention to the tra c conditions. Thebrakes will grip better as a result.

Depending on thetemperature and the charge level of the high-volt-age battery, the charging power increases ordecreases during the charging process.
* NNOOTETE Risk due to excessive chargingpower
Interrupting the charging process and reinsert-ing the charging cable connector initiates anew charging process. Interrupting a chargingprocess and starting a new charging processwithin a short period of time impairs the com-ponent protection of the charging manage-ment.This can damage those charging componentswhich prevent a second DC charging fromoccurring.# Do not interrupt and restart the charging
process.
Due to legal regulations in the individual countries,the charging cable to the vehicle must not be lon-ger than 30 m. This is to prevent the interferenceof signals being received by radio communicationdevices in the vehicle or in close proximity to thecharging station. Be aware that parts of the charg-ing cable may be routed underground. If in doubt,ask the charging station operator if this is the casebefore charging the high-voltage battery.

& DDANANGERGER Risk of death when charging at adamaged socket
The charging process uses high voltage.If the charging cable, the vehicle socket or themains socket are damaged, you could receivean electric shock.# Only use an undamaged charging cable.# Avoid mechanical damage such as crush-
ing, abrading or driving over the cable.# Have a damaged vehicle socket replaced
at a quali ed specialist workshop assoon as possible.
# Never connect the charging cable to adamaged vehicle socket.
* NNOOTETE Damage to the vehicle due to over-voltage in the mains supply
The vehicle is equipped with an electrical fusewhich protects it against overvoltage in themains supply. This electrical fuse may trip dur-ing severe thunderstorms, for example, andmay cause the fuse in the building to trip ormay interrupt the charging process. Thesefunctions protect the vehicle.A er the fuse in the building is switched onagain, the charging process resumes automati-cally.Following an interruption in the power supplywithout the fuse in the building being tripped, itmay take up to ten minutes for charging toresume automatically.
* NNOOTETE Damage due to overheating ofcharging cable and charging cable con-nector
During the charging process, the chargingcable and charging cable connector can heatup within their permissible limit values.The permissible limit values are in uenced bythe following factors:R the power supply system and the charging
cable are not damagedR the instructions for handling the charging
cable and the control element on thecharging cable have been observed
# If the charging cable or charging cableconnector becomes too hot, have thepower supply system checked.
* NNOOTETE Damaged or dirty vehicle socketwhen the socket ap is open
# Always keep the socket cover and thesocket ap closed when there is nocharging cable connected. This protectsthe vehicle socket from dirt and damage.
# Make sure that the socket cover isclosed properly before closing the socketap. This can otherwise result in damage

AATTENTION ASSISTTTENTION ASSIST
FFunction of Aunction of ATTENTION ASSISTTTENTION ASSISTATTENTION ASSIST can assist you on long, monot-onous journeys, e.g. on motorways and trunkroads. If ATTENTION ASSIST detects indicators offatigue or increased lapses in concentration on thepart of the driver, it suggests taking a break.ATTENTION ASSIST is only an aid. It cannot alwaysdetect drowsiness or increased lapses in concen-tration in good time. The system is not a substitutefor a well-rested and attentive driver. On long jour-neys, take regular and timely breaks that allow youto rest properly.If fatigue or increased lapses in concentration aredetected, the ATTENTION ASSIST: Take a break!warning appears in the instrument cluster.You can acknowledge the message and take abreak if necessary. If you do not take a break andATTENTION ASSIST continues to detect increasinglapses in concentration, you will be warned againa er a minimum of 15 minutes.
You can have the current ATTENTION ASSISTassessment displayed using the Assistancegraphic menu in the on-board computer(/ page 175).
The following information is displayed:R the journey length since the last breakR the attention level determined by ATTENTION
ASSIST:- the fuller the bar is, the higher the detected
attention level is- the bar empties as attentiveness decreases
If ATTENTION ASSIST cannot calculate the atten-tion level and cannot issue a warning, the Systemsuspended message appears.The bar display is then dimmed. This is the case,for example, if you are predominantly driving at aspeed below 60 km/h or above 200 km/h.
SystSystem limitsem limitsATTENTION ASSIST is active in the 60 km/h to200 km/h speed range.The functionality of ATTENTION ASSIST is restric-ted, and warnings may be delayed or not occur atall, in the following situations:R the journey lasts less than approximately 30
minutesR the road condition is poor (uneven road sur-
face or potholes)R the vehicle is subjected to a strong crosswindR you have a sporty driving style (high cornering
speeds or high rates of acceleration)R the time is set incorrectlyR you change lanes and vary your speed fre-
quently in active driving situations
The ATTENTION ASSIST drowsiness or alertnessassessment is deleted and restarted when continu-ing the journey in the following situations:R you switch o the vehicleR you unfasten your seat belt and open the driv-

& WWARNINGARNING Risk of accident despite BlindSpot Assist
Blind Spot Assist does not react to either sta-tionary objects or vehicles approaching andovertaking you at a greatly di erent speed.Blind Spot Assist cannot warn drivers in thesesituations.# Always pay careful attention to the tra c
situation and maintain a safe distance atthe side of the vehicle.
Observe the notes on driving systems and yourresponsibility; you may otherwise fail to recognisedangers (/ page 148).If a vehicle is detected above speeds of approx-imately 12 km/h and this vehicle subsequentlyenters the monitoring range directly next to yourvehicle, the warning lamp in the outside mirrorlights up red.If a vehicle is detected close to your vehicle in thelateral monitoring range and you switch on the turnsignal indicator in the corresponding direction, awarning tone sounds. The red warning lamp in theoutside mirror ashes. If the turn signal indicatorremains switched on, all other detected vehiclesare indicated only by the ashing of the red warn-ing lamp.When you overtake a vehicle, the warning onlyoccurs if the di erence in speed is less thanapproximately 20 km/h.

When objects are unsecured or inadequatelysecured, they can slip, tip over or be thrownabout, striking vehicle occupants.This also applies to:R luggage or loadsR seats which have been removed and are
being transported in the vehicle in anexceptional case
There is a risk of injury, particularly in theevent of braking manoeuvres or abruptchanges in direction.# Always stow objects in such a way that
they cannot be tossed about.# Before travelling, secure objects, luggage
or load to prevent them slipping or tip-ping over.
# When a seat is removed, keep it prefera-bly outside the vehicle.
& WWARNINGARNING Risk of accident due to incor-rectly placed load
The centre of gravity of the load may be toohigh and/or too far back.This can signi cantly impair the driving, steer-ing and braking characteristics.# Always ensure that the centre of gravity
of the load is between the axles and aslow as possible near the rear axle.
& WWARNINGARNING Risk of accident due to exceed-ing the permissible wheel/axle loads orthe gross vehicle weight
The driving characteristics, as well as steeringand braking, may be greatly impaired. Overloa-ded tyres may overheat and burst as a conse-quence.# When transporting a load, always
observe the permissible wheel loads,axle loads and the maximum permissiblegross mass for the vehicle (includingoccupants).
& WWARNINGARNING Risk of injury if unsuitableclimbing aids are used
In the event that you use openings in the body-work or attachments as steps, you could:R Slip and/or fall.R Damage the vehicle and thus slip and fall.
# Always use non-slip, stable climbing aids,e.g. a suitable ladder.
* NNOOTETE Damage caused by the use of open-ings in the bodywork or detachable part asa step
Using the lower guide of the sliding door (car-riage) as a step can damage the trim and/ormechanism of the sliding door.# Do not use the guide of the sliding door
(carriage) as a step.
If you are using a roof luggage rack, please notethe maximum roof load and the maximum loadcapacity of the roof luggage rack (/ page 253).The handling characteristics of your vehicle aredependent on the load distribution.Therefore, please observe the following noteswhen loading:R the load must not protrude above the upper
edge of the seat backrests.R if possible, always transport the load in the
load compartment.R fasten the load to the tie-down eyes and dis-
tribute the load evenly among them.R if available, use a load protection net to secure
the load (/ page 210).R use tie-down eyes and fastening components
which are suitable for the weight and size ofthe load.
Observe the operating instructions of the manufac-turer when using load securing aids or lashingmaterial and the notes on their expiration dates.In the following cases, load securing aids or lash-ing materials are worn out, should not be used andmust be replaced:R there is missing or illegible identi cationR there is cord breakage or damage to load-bear-
ing seams or other traces of cracking
206206 Transporting

* NONOTETE Damage to the vehicle if the maxi-mum loading capacity of the lashing pointsis exceeded
If you combine various lashing points to securea load, always take the maximum loading capa-city of the weakest lashing point into account.During maximum full-stop braking, forces mayact which can multiply the weight of the load.# Always use several lashing points to dis-
tribute and spread the load.# Distribute the load on the lashing points
evenly.
Observe the information relating to the maximumloading capacity of the lashing points(/ page 252).As the driver, you are responsible for ensuring thefollowing:R The load is secured against slipping, tipping,
rolling or falling o .Take usual tra c conditions as well as swerv-ing or full brake application and bad roads intoaccount.R The applicable requirements and guidelines
relating to load-securing practices are met.If this is not the case, this may constitute apunishable o ence, depending on local legisla-tion and any ensuing consequences. Observecountry-speci c laws.
Make sure that the load is secure before everyjourney and at regular intervals during a long jour-ney. Adjust the load securing as necessary. Infor-mation on how to secure loads correctly can beobtained from the manufacturers of the loadsecuring aids or lashing material for load securing,for example.Also observe the notes on loading guidelines(/ page 206).When securing loads, observe the following:R Fill spaces between the load and the load com-
partment walls or wheel wells. For this pur-
pose, use rigid load securing aids, such aschocks, wooden xings or padding.R Attach secured and stabilised loads in all direc-
tions.Use the lashing points or the tie-down eyesand guide rails in the rear compartment.Only use lashing materials, such as lashingnets and lashing straps, which have been tes-ted in accordance with current standards (e.g.DIN EN). Always use the lashing points closestto the load and pad sharp edges.

The tyre pressure table shows the recommendedtyre pressure for all tyres approved at the factoryfor this vehicle. The recommended tyre pressuresapply for cold tyres under various operating condi-tions, i.e. loading and/or speed of the vehicle.If one or more tyre sizes precede a tyre pressure,the following tyre pressure information is only validfor those tyre sizes and their respective load condi-tion.
If the preceding tyre sizes are supplemented by the+ symbol, the tyre pressure information follow-ing shows alternative tyre pressures. Fuel con-sumption may then increase slightly.The load conditions "partially laden" and "fullyladen" are de ned in the table for di erent num-bers of passengers and amounts of luggage. Theactual number of seats may di er.The tyre pressure values given for partly ladenvehicles are minimum values which o er you goodride comfort. They are not for trailer operation.You can also use the tyre pressure values for a fullyladen vehicle. These are always allowed and per-missible. However, in a partially laden vehicle, theride is not as comfortable and energy consumptionis only minimally reduced. In addition, wear isgreater in the middle of the tyre tread.Set the correct tyre pressure before loading thevehicle. Once the vehicle is laden, check the tyrepressures and correct them if necessary.

TTyryre pre pressuressure monite monitororing systing systemem
FFunction of tunction of the tyrhe tyre pre pressuressure monite monitororing systing systememThe system checks the tyre pressure and the tyretemperature of the tyres tted to the vehicle bymeans of a tyre pressure sensor.New tyre pressure sensors, e.g. in winter tyres, areautomatically taught-in during the rst journey theyare used.It is the driver's responsibility to set the tyre pres-sure to the recommended cold tyre pressure suita-ble for the operating situation (/ page 236).Note that the correct tyre pressure for the currentoperating situation must rst be taught-in to thetyre pressure monitoring system. If a substantialloss of pressure occurs, the warning threshold forthe warning message is aligned to the taught-inreference values. Restart the tyre pressure monitora er adjusting to the cold tyre pressure(/ page 239). The current pressures are saved asnew reference values. This will ensure that a warn-ing message will only appear if the tyre pressuredrops signi cantly.The h warning lamp in the instrument clusterdisplays a detected pressure loss or a malfunctionas follows:R if the h warning lamp is lit continuously,
the tyre pressure on one or more tyres is sig-ni cantly too low. The tyre pressure monitor isnot malfunctioning.R if the h warning lamp ashes for around a
minute and then remains lit constantly, the tyrepressure monitor is malfunctioning.R a message also appears in the instrument clus-

SystSystem limitsem limitsThe system may be impaired or may not function inthe following situations:R the tyre pressure has been set incorrectly.R there is a sudden pressure loss caused, for
example, by a foreign object penetrating thetyre.R there is a malfunction caused by another radio
signal source.
If the tyre pressure monitor is malfunctioning, itmay take more than ten minutes for the h tyrepressure warning lamp to inform you of the mal-function. When the fault has been recti ed, theh warning lamp goes out a er you have drivenfor a few minutes.The tyre pressure values indicated by the on-boardcomputer may di er from those measured at a ll-ing station using a pressure gauge.The tyre pressures shown by the on-board com-puter refer to those measured at sea level. At highaltitudes, the tyre pressure values indicated by apressure gauge are higher than those shown by theon-board computer. In this case, do not reduce thetyre pressures.
