Tire pressure monitor
Principle
The system monitors tire pressure in the
four mounted tires. The system warns you if
there is a significant loss of pressure in one
or more tires.
General information
Sensors in the tire valves measure the tire
inflation pressure and, depending on the
model, the tire temperature.
Further information and instructions on us-
ing the system can also be found under Tire
inflation pressure, refer to page 250 .
Functional requirements
The following prerequisites must be met for
the system; otherwise, reliable message of a
tire pressure loss is not assured:
– After a tire or wheel change, a reset was
performed with the correct tire inflation
pressure.
– After the tire inflation pressure was ad-
justed to a new value, a reset was per-
formed.
– Wheels with TPM wheel electronics.
