TPMS (Tyre
Pressure
Monitoring System)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
101) 102) 103) 104) 105) 106) 107) 108) 109)
DESCRIPTION
The system warns the driver if one or
more tyres are flat by turning on the
warning light on the instrument
panel (together with a warning
message and an acoustic signal).
The indication continues until the
pressure corresponds to or exceeds
that specified for cold tyres. After the
automatic update of the system, the
tyre pressure control warning light
switches off. You may need to drive the
vehicle for about 20 minutes at a speed
higher than 20 km/h to allow the TPMS
to receive this information.
Tyre pressure must always be adjusted
according to the cold inflation pressure.
Cold tyre inflation pressure is the tyre
pressure after letting the vehicle stand
for at least three hours or a travel
shorter than 1.6 km after an interval of
three hours.
The cold tyre inflation pressure must
not exceed the maximum inflation
pressure value printed on the side of
the tyre.
NOTE
The TPMS does not replace the
normal tyre maintenance service and
does not indicate any fault in a tyre.
Therefore, the TPMS should not be
used as pressure switch while adjusting
the tyre inflation pressure.
Driving with insufficient tyre pressure
causes their overheating and can result
in tyre failure. The low inflation pressure
reduces fuel efficiency and tyre tread
life and may also affect handling and
braking performance of the vehicle.
The TPMS does not replace the
correct tyre maintenance. It is up to
the driver to maintain the correct
tyre pressure level measuring it with
a suitable pressure switch. This is
necessary even if the decrease in the
inflation pressure value does not cause
the tyre pressure control warning light
to switch on.
The TPMS warns the driver of any
condition of insufficient tyre pressure.
If this drops below the insufficient
pressure limit for any reason including
low temperature and normal pressure
loss of the tyre.
The seasonal temperature changes
affect tyre pressure.
WARNING Monitoring and maintaining
the correct pressure in all four tyres are
particularly important.
Tyre pressure monitoring system
low pressure warning
WARNING In the case of deflation
of more than one tyre sequentially,
without switching off and on the
engine, from the second tyre involved
the acoustic signal is not activated,
only the dedicated signal is shown
on the display. To prevent the signal
from being stored in the event of
pressure loss of a subsequent tyre
(with deactivation of the acoustic
signal), the ignition key must be turned
to MAR and then to STOP, each time
pressure is restored.
TPMS operation faults
The system fault is indicated by the
warning light which first flashes for
75 seconds and then stays on steadily.
WARNING
101) The TPMS is optimised for the
original tyres and wheels provided. TPMS
pressures and alerts have been defined
according to the size of the tyres mounted
on the vehicle. Using equipment with
different size, type or kind may cause
irregular system operation or sensor
damage. Non-original spare wheels can
damage the sensor. Do not use tyre
sealant or balancing weights if the vehicle
