The control lamp flashes for approximately one mi-

The tyre monitoring system can only op-
erate correctly if all of the tyres are infla-
ted to the correct pressure when cold.
If tyre pressure is correct, switch the ignition off and
on again. If the control lamp remains lit up, the tyre
monitoring indicator can be calibrated. Have the sys-
tem checked by a specialised workshop.

system. Regularly check your tyres to en-
sure that the tyre pressure is correct and
that the tyres are not damaged due to
puncture, cuts, tears and impacts/dents.
Remove objects from the tyres only when
they have not pierced the tyres.
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.

With an overloaded vehicle at high
speed, the tyres can overheat and burst re-
sulting in a loss of vehicle control.
