TYRE PRESSURE LOSS WARNING (2/6)
– significant change in load or distribu-
Operating conditions
Resetting the standard level
for the tyre pressures
This should be done:
tion of load on one side of the vehi-
cle;
– sporty driving with strong accelera-
tion;
– driving on snowy or slippery surface;
– driving with snow chains;
– fitting a single new tyre;
– use of tyres not approved by the net-
work.
The system should be reset with a
pressure equal to that stated on the tyre
pressure label (refer to the information
on “Tyre Pressures” in section 4), other-
wise it may not give a reliable warning
in the event of significant pressure loss.
– after each re-inflation or resetting of
tyre pressure;
– after changing a wheel;
Resetting should always be carried
out after checking the tyre pressure
of all four tyres when cold.
– after changing wheels around.
Tyre pressures must correspond to the
current usage of the vehicle (empty,
carrying a load, motorway driving, etc.).
In the following situations, the system
risk coming into action late or not func-
tioning correctly:
– system not reset after reinflation or
any operation on the wheels;
– system badly reset: different inflation
pressures from the recommended
pressures;
This function is an addi-
tional driving aid.
The function does not take
the place of the driver. It
cannot, therefore, under any cir-
cumstances replace the vigilance
or the responsibility of the driver.
Check the tyre pressures, including
the emergency spare wheel, once a
month.
The sudden loss of pressure in a
tyre (burst tyre, etc.) cannot be de-
tected by the system.
