Tyre pressure control indicator (RKA+ function)
General notes:
The tyre control system is a function incorporated into the ABS control unit -J104- software. It detects the gradual reduction of the tyre pressure of a wheel. The irregularity linked with the tyre pressure monitoring display is registered in the memory of the ABS control unit -J104-. The tyre pressure monitor display compares the wheel speeds and consequently the rolling circumferences of the individual wheels with the help of the ABS speed sensors.
After the following work or modifications, the tyre pressure monitor display button -E492- must be pressed and held until a confirmation is sounded.
t  Changing the tyre pressure
t  Changing one or more wheels
t  Swapping the wheels, e.g the front ones with the back ones
t  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:
t  Insufficient tyre inflation pressure.
t  Structural tyre damage.
t  One-sided loading of vehicle
t  Increased load on one axle, e.g. due to towing a trailer
t  Use of snow chains.
t  Temporary spare wheel installed
t  Wheel renewal.
