Tyre pressure monitoring*3
Tyre monitoring (TM)*5
Applies to Bi-Fuel* cars
The tyre pressure monitoring system warns
with an indicator symbol in the combined
instrument panel when the pressure is too low
in one or more of the car's tyres.
The TM (Tyre Monitor) system senses tyre
rotation speed in order to determine whether
the tyres have the correct tyre pressure.
System description
For certain markets the tyre pressure moni-
toring is standard in accordance with legal
requirements. The system does not replace
normal tyre maintenance.
If the tyre pressure is too low, the tyre's diam-
eter is changed and, as a result, so is its rota-
tion speed. By comparing the tyres with each
other the system can determine whether one
or more tyres have pressure that is too low.
The system does not replace normal tyre
maintenance.
Indicator symbol for tyre pressure monitoring.
The first-aid kit is located in the storage compart-
ment in the front part of the cargo area.
