Tire pressure warnings and
messages
The tire pressure monitoring system warns about
loss in pressure in two stages, depending on the
amount of pressure loss:
Stage 1 – Tyre pressure too low message
(3 to 6 psi (0.2 to 0.4 bar) loss in pressure)
Stage 2 – Flat tire warning
(loss in pressure as of 6 psi (0.4 bar))
Warning!
Risk of accident. Tire damage may impair
road safety.
f
Stop the vehicle at a suitable location if there
is a tire pressure warning or tire pressure mes-
sage. Check the tires for signs of damage and
fill or change them if necessary.
Example : If the tire pressure display shows
“– 3 psi”, you must increase the tire pressure by
3 psi.
Tires can lose air over time without a tire defect
being present. The tire pressure monitoring sys-
tem will then issue a corresponding message or
warning.

Correct the tire pressure.
