Practical advice
On-screen tyre pressure monitor
temperature is approximately 20 °C. Out-
side temperature is approximately 0 °C.
In this case, the tyre pressure would be
60 to 80 kPa (0.6 to 0.8 bar, 8.7 to 11.6
psi) higher than the value specified in the
tyre pressures table.
The tyre pressure monitor monitors the
pressure in all tyres while the bus is sta-
tionary and while the bus is in motion.
Note:
The warnings issued by the tyre pressure
monitor cannot be reliable unless the
tyres have been inflated to the correct
nominal pressure. The tyre pressure mon-
itor would work with an incorrect value
if, for example, your vehicle were over-
laden or laden incorrectly or if you were
to fit wheels with a different tyre size to
the vehicle and did not correct the nom-
inal pressure in the on-board computer
or entered an incorrect value. Refer to
the tyre pressures table to check that the
nominal pressure has been set correctly.
An underinflated tyre would lead to in-
stability while the bus is in motion and
therefore an increased risk of accident.
Have the correct nominal pressure set in
the on-board computer at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop.
Note:
If radio transmitting equipment (e.g. ra-
dio headphones, two-way radios) is being
operated inside the bus or nearby, this
could interfere with the correct function-
ing of the tyre pressure monitor. The dis-
play screen in the instrument cluster dis-
plays “- -” in place of the respective tyre
pressure if a tyre pressure sensor is tem-
porarily suffering interference, e.g. from
radio transmitting equipment, or if the
tyre pressure sensor has not yet supplied
any values. Wait a few minutes and/or
drive the vehicle away from the area af-
fected by the radio transmitting equip-
ment. The tyre pressure values shown
on the display screen may differ from the
readings obtained with an air pressure
gauge. The tyre pressure displayed by
the on-board computer relate to sea level.
At higher locations, air pressure gauges
display a higher tyre pressure than the
display screen does. Do not reduce tyre
pressure in this situation. The tyre pres-
sure monitor detects new wheels or new
tyre pressure sensors automatically. Drive
the bus for a few minutes at a speed of
over approximately 18 mph (30 km/h).
