NOTE
It is not intended that the decals illus-
trated in the Manual should be exact rep-
licas of those in the car. They are included
to show their approximate appearance
and locations in the car. The information
that applies to your particular car can be
found on the decal on the car.
System for tyre
pressure monitoring
The tyre pressure monitoring system
163
, gives a
warning with an indicator symbol in the driver
display when the pressure in one or more of the
car's tyres is too low.
This symbol illuminates to
indicate low tyre pressure.
Then check the tyre pressure
under Car status in the centre
display.
If there is a fault in the system
the tyre pressure warning symbol flashes for
approximately one minute and then remains illu-
minated.
System description
The tyre pressure monitoring system measures
differences in rotation speed between the dif-
ferent wheels via the ABS system in order to be
able to determine whether they have the correct
tyre pressure. If the tyre pressure is too low, the
tyre's diameter is changed and, as a result, so is
its rotation speed. By comparing the tyres with
each other the system can determine whether
one or more tyres have pressure that is too low.
General information on the tyre monitoring sys-
tem
In the information below, the tyre monitoring
system is referred to generically as TPMS.
Each tyre, including the spare tyre, should be
checked once a month. When checking, the tyre
should be cold and have the air pressure recom-
mended by the car manufacturer specified on
the tyre pressure label or in the tyre pressure
table. If the car has tyres of a different size than
that recommended by the manufacturer, find
out what the correct air pressure level is for
these.
As an extra safety feature, the car is equipped
with a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS),
163 Indirect Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (ITPMS)
