Tire Pressure Monitor System Reactivation

CAUTION: The warning system can only operate in a reliable manner if correct tire pressures are set. If an incorrect tire inflation pressure is set, the system will monitor the pressure according to the incorrect value.
NOTE: Whenever tire pressure has been adjusted, or when wheels or tires have been replaced, the TPM system must be reactivated before it can work.
  1. Ensure inflation pressure of all 4 tires is set to specification.
  2. Switch ignition on. The standard display menu will appear in multifunction display on instrument cluster (shows information such as outside temperature and trip odometer).
  3. Press the up or down button (located on left side of multifunction steering wheel) repeatedly until cluster display reads "RUN FLAT INDICATOR ACTIVE. REACTIVATION POSS.: +".
  4. Press "+" button (located on right side of multifunction steering wheel). The multifunction display will now read "TIRE PRES. NOW OK? NO YES".
    NOTE: To cancel activation process, press "-" button or wait until message has disappeared from multifunction display.
  5. To confirm activation, press "+" button. The multifunction display will now read "RUN FLAT INDICATOR REACTIVATED". After a certain "learning phase", the TPM system will check the set pressure values for all 4 tires.
