IV. ALARM MODES
NOTE:
Alerts indicate that the vehicle is being operated in a dangerous condition.
When an alarm is triggered, STOP and check the tire(s) as soon as safely
possible and investigate. The warning will continue to be reported as long
as the malfunction exists.
NOTE: When an alarm occurs, the audible alarm will sound. Pressing any button will
silence the audible alarm but will not clear it (Audible alarm is not available
on the “black box” products).

of one flash/beep per second. The tire position
with the alarm condition will be highlighted, the
current pressure reading displayed, and the
words “LOW PRESSURE” will be displayed on
the monitor (See Figure 4-1)
