Radio/navigation system: entering PIN
of anti-theft coding and storing local ra‐
dio stations to station buttons
The anti-theft coding electronically prevents unauthorized per‐
sons from operating the unit after it has been removed from
vehicle. The anti-theft codes are also called radio codes or se‐
curity codes. Security code means that each unit with an anti-theft
coding is programmed with its own code number. This security
code is not active when leaving the factory. The security code is
found on the unit card, if fitted. If the unit card is not fitted, the
security code can be read using vehicle diagnostic tester of a
central database ⇒ page 123 .
Note
If an incorrect code number is entered when releasing the elec‐
tronic lock, the whole procedure can be repeated once. If an
incorrect code number is entered again, the unit is locked for
about one hour. That means, it cannot be used. After one hour,
during which time the unit must remain switched on, the display
extinguishes. The electronic lock can be released as described
above. The cycle two attempts, one hour lock applies again.
Procedure
⇒ Communication; Rep. gr. 91 →Select radio and navigation
system→Determine anti-theft code of anti-theft coding via VAS
tester and deactivate anti-theft coding.

Tyre pressure monitoring : performing
basic setting
Note
♦ During normal vehicle operation, Tyre Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS) with autolocation (direct measurement) func‐
tion is automatically calibrated to the driver-defined tyre pres‐
sures.
♦ Therefore, basic setting of the Tyre Pressure Monitoring Sys‐
tem (TPMS) is no longer necessary.

Maintenance - Edition 01.2019
Applicable only for tyre pressure indicator with PR number 7K6
(indirect measurement)
To model year ►2011: ⇒ page 125
From model year 2012►: ⇒ page 126
Note
♦ Basic setting of the Tyre Pressure Loss Indicator should not
be performed until “after” the tyre pressure has been corrected
to the prescribed values.
♦ If no pressure loss and tyre damage are found after a tyre
pressure warning, the incorrect warning can be rectified by a
basic setting.
The tyre pressure monitoring warning lamp compares the speed
and the rolling circumference of the individual wheels via the ABS
sensors. When the rolling circumference of one wheel is changed
this is displayed by the tyre pressure monitoring. The rolling cir‐
cumference of tyre changes if:
♦ The tyre pressure is too low.
♦ The tyre has structural damage.
♦ The vehicle is loaded more heavily on one side.
♦ The wheels on one axle are loaded more heavily (e.g. when
towing a trailer or when driving in mountains).
♦ Snow chains are fitted.
♦ The temporary spare wheel is fitted.
♦ One wheel per axle has been changed.
To model year ►2011:
The tyre pressure monitoring warning lamp has a yellow warning
lamp in the dash panel insert -arrow-.
♦ “FLASHING LIGHT” means that the “INITIAL BASIC SET‐
TING” has not been performed.
♦ A “PERMANENT LIGHTING-UP” in conjunction with a warn‐
ing tone, means “WARNING”, pressure loss has been recog‐
nised, check tyre pressure and perform system basic setting.
Perform “INITIAL” basic setting
– Switch ignition on.
– Press ESP OFF -arrow A- and SET -arrow B- buttons simul‐
taneously and for longer than 2 seconds in the centre console.
If ESP is not fitted, press TCS button.
The start of basic setting will be confirmed by an acoustic signal.
When switching on ignition again, no warning is indicated.
