the pressure in one or several tires.
Continuation of driving with such a
low pressure in the tires could lead to
their overheating and mechanical
destruction. Exploitation of the tires
with the pressure lower than norma-
tive results in worsening of car ride
and handling, braking performance
as well as impacts the increase in fuel
consumption and reduces tire life.
If indicator turned on, it is neces-
sary to stop the car following all pre-
cautions, check the tire status and
put their pressure level to the normal
status. Tire pumping shall be done
with ignition on with the pressure
2,2–2,3 atm after this the indicator
shall turn off. If the indicator remains
on, it is necessary to recheck and
pump other car tires till the indicator
turns off. After the indicator turns off
it is necessary to lower the tire pres-
sure to the values recommended by
the car manufacturer. If it is not pos-
sible to secure the appropriate tire
pressure it is necessary to replace
the disabled wheel by spare one.
Attention! Spare wheel is not
equipped by TPMS sensor and in
case of its usage the indicator will
be on, it is necessary to drive
carefully till the elimination of
malfunction.
Pay attention that the applica-
tion of TPMS system does not
mean that there is no need for
correct servicing of tires and
maintaining the appropriate pres-
sure in them even if the decrease
of the level is not enough to turn
the TPMS indicator on.
The indicator is also used
to alarm about failure in the TPMS
system.
When the system detects fail-
ure the indicator twinkling 5 times
with the frequency Hertz then
continues permanent lighting.
The indication on the failure in
the TPMS system is done each
tome when ignition turns on till
the failure exists. When the fail-
ure indicator turned on, the sys-
tem probably will not be able to
detect or indicate low pressure in
the tires as it is aimed for. The
failure in TPMS system could be
caused by different reasons
including the installation or
replacement of tires or wheels.
Always check the TPMS failure
indication after the replacement
of one or several tires, wheels or
the place of their installation in
the car to be sure in operation
ability of the TPMS system.
Replacing wheels
To replace wheels:
– put the vehicle on a level surface
and brake it with the parking brake
and the first gear on;
– take the spare tire and tools;
– remove the wheel cover
(in the
design variant);
– loosen wheel bolts for one turn
with combination wrench 2 (Fig. 56);
– set lifting jack 1 so that the
recess in the jacking pad is inserted
to the edge of the sill closer to the
wheel that is replaced, and the foot
of the jack is just under it. To make it
easier to find the right place to set
the jack the sills of the vehicle have
special holes for the lifting jack. By
rotating the jack handle (position
