Error messages from the tire pressure monitoring system in the instrument panel, e.g. after tire change or low inflation pressure

If you see the message Check Car Status app in center display in your instrument panel, you need to calibrate/save a new inflation pressure in the tire pressure monitoring system.

Calibrating/Saving a new inflation pressure in the tire pressure monitoring system1

 Note

For vehicles manufactured from November 2018 onwards, the Calibrate command may have changed name to Store Pressure in the Car Status vehicle app under option TPMS.

If, for example, the message Tire pressure low, Check Car Status app in center display is displayed in the instrument panel or if you have just replaced a tire, and you have a vehicle with the new command name, you can follow the instructions below to calibrate the tire pressure monitoring system, but instead of selecting option Calibrate, select Store Pressure. Calibration will then be performed automatically while you drive.

After replacing a tire or adjusting inflation pressure, the new inflation pressure must be calibrated/saved in the tire pressure monitoring system. The system also needs to be calibrated if this symbol illuminates in 15w49 - Support site - Tyre pressure symbol and/or if you see the message Check Car Status app in center display in your instrument panel. When you calibrate/save a new inflation pressure, the tire is checked and the pressure is saved in the system. This is done as follows:

With the ignition off, pump up all tires and check the pressures. For more information about tire pressures, see the tire pressure decal on the driver's side door pillar.
Start the car.

Open the Car Status app.

16w10 - Support site - My Car App
Press TPMS.
Select Calibrate.
Press OK to confirm that the tire pressure in all four tires has been checked and adjusted.
Drive the car.

The new tire inflation pressure is stored when the vehicle is driving at speeds over 35 km/h (22 mph).

When enough data has been collected for the system to be able to detect low inflation pressure, the animation showing the progress of the storing procedure will disappear from the center display. The system will not give any further confirmation that the new inflation pressure has been stored.

To help ensure that the new inflation pressure is saved correctly, allow the storing procedure to complete during a single operating cycle. If the new inflation pressure cannot be stored, the message Storing pressure unsuccessful. Try again. will be displayed.

16w10 - Support site - Tire Pressure Sticker
You will find tire pressure information on the driver's side door pillar.

 Note

Remember to save the new inflation pressure every time a tire is changed or the inflation pressure is adjusted.

The vehicle must be stationary when beginning the procedure to store a new tire inflation pressure.

 Note

We recommend that you consult the Owner's Manual for your vehicle model for more information and any important warnings.
