Tire pressure warnings
The tire pressure monitoring warns about loss in
pressure in two stages, depending on the amount
of pressure loss:
Stage 1 – Add air
(3 to 6 psi (0.2 to 0.4 bar) loss in pressure)
Stage 2 – Flat tire
(from 6 psi (0.4 bar) loss in pressure)
Stage 1 – Add air
The pressure in the tire is too low by 3 to 6 psi (0.2
to 0.4 bar).
Driving with insufficient tire pressure reduces the
road safety of the vehicle and destroys the tire and
wheel.
f The tire pressure warning contains the
affected tire with the tire pressure to be added.
Correct the tire pressure at the next
opportunity.
This tire pressure warning appears with vehicle
stopped and can be acknowledged.
The tire pressure warning light in the instrument
panel goes out when the tire pressure has been
corrected.
Stage 2 – Flat tire
The pressure in the tire has dropped by more than
6 psi (0.4 bar). This significant pressure loss is a
danger to road safety.
f
When the tire pressure warning has appeared
on the on-board computer, stop immediately at
a suitable location. Check the tire for signs of
damage. If necessary, fill in tire sealant and set
the correct tire pressure.
This tire pressure warning appears when driving
and can be acknowledged.
