- general
Tyre pressure monitoring (TPMS) (Tyre
Pressure Monitoring System)* warns the
driver when the pressure is too low in one or
more of the car's tyres.
Tyre pressure monitoring uses sensors
located inside the air valve in each wheel.
When the car is driven at about 30 km/h the
system detects the tyre pressure. If the pres-
sure is too low then a warning lamp
illumi-
nates in the combined instrument panel and
one of the following messages is shown:
•
Tyre pressure low Check front right

•
Tyre pressure low Check front left

Tyre pressure system Service
required
Both factory-fitted and optional wheels can
be equipped with TPMS sensors in the
valves.
If wheels without TPMS sensors are used or if
a sensor has failed then
Tyre pressure
system Service required
will be shown.
Always check the system after changing a
wheel in order to ensure that replacement
wheels work with the system.
For information on the correct tyre pressure,
see Tyres - air pressure (p. 306).
The system does not replace normal tyre
maintenance.
IMPORTANT
If a fault occurs in the TPMS system the
warning lamp
in the combined instru-
ment panel will flash for approx. 1 minute
and then illuminate with a constant glow. A
message is also shown in the combined
instrument panel.
