Practical tips

When driving, the system self-calibrates the

tyre pressure provided by the driver and the

wheels fitted. After a long journey with varied

speeds the programmed values are collected

and monitored.

Note

Spare wheel

●

Driving for the first time with new tyres at

a high speed can cause them to slightly ex-

pand, which could then produce an air

pressure warning.

Location and use of the tempora-

ry spare wheel

With the wheels under very heavy loads, the

tyre pressure must be increased to the total

recommended tyre pressure before calibra-

●

If excessively low tyre pressure is detec-

ted with the ignition on, an audible warning

will sound. In the event that there is a fault

in the system, an audible warning will

sound.

WARNING

●

Driving on dirt tracks for a long period of

time or driving in a sporty style can tempo-

rarily deactivate the TPMS. The control

lamp shows a fault, but disappears when

road conditions or the driving style change.

When the tyres are inflated at different

pressures or at a pressure that is too low

then a tyre may be damaged resulting in a

loss of control of the vehicle and a serious

or fatal accident.

●

Do not only rely on the tyre pressure

monitoring system. Regularly check your

tyres to ensure that the tyre pressure is cor-

rect and that the tyres are not damaged

due to puncture, cuts, tears and im-

pacts/dents. Remove objects from the

tyres only when they have not pierced the

tyres.

●

If the lamp  lights up, reduce speed im-

mediately and avoid any sudden turning or

braking manoeuvre. Stop when possible,

and check the tyre pressure and status.

The tyre pressure monitoring system can

only operate correctly if all of the tyres are

inflated to the correct pressure when cold.

rear wheels. Fit the snow chains on the rear

wheel that you have removed and replace

the punctured front wheel with this wheel.

To remove the spare wheel, you must first re-

move the subwoofer.
