Section 4: Vehicle Operation

Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS)

Your RV may be equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). The system

has sensors installed on the tire valve stems. Tire temperatures and pressures are displayed

only on the JayCommand Smartphone App, which connects through Bluetooth to your BM-

Pro Mini control system. There is no TPMS page on the BMPro Mini control panel screen

inside the RV.
Accessories included

with the sensors (in

the plastic bag) are a

wrench, O-rings, lock-

ing nuts and a handle

to unlock the TPMS

sensors to change the

batteries.

The TPMS System comes with sensors that screw

on to the valve stem of each tire.

The sensors are programmed according to their

tire position on the trailer, and not to each in-

dividual tire. Tire sensors are paired to your

phone using the Bluetooth Smartphone App.

FAILURE TO ACT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING

WARNINGS MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR

DEATH!



The TPMS system is designed to monitor tire pressure and temperature.

It is not designed to provide warning of sudden critical tire damage and

blowout caused by external effects. The driver should react promptly to

any warning and correct the problem.



Tires can fail for other reasons besides low pressure, high temperature

or overloading. Always be on the alert for any other tire problems as

indicated by unusual noises, vibrations, uneven tread wear, or bulges on

the tires. If any of these symptoms occur, have the tires inspected im-

mediately by a tire professional.
