Tire Pressure Monitor 
TPM

The concept

Measuring the inflation pressure in the four 
mounted tires. The system notifies you if there is 
a significant loss of pressure in one or more tires.

Functional requirement

The system must have been reset while the 
inflation pressure was correct; otherwise, reli-
able signaling of a flat tire is not ensured.
Always use wheels with TPM electronics to 
ensure that the system will operate properly.
Reset the system again after each correction of 
the tire inflation pressure and after every tire or 
wheel change.

System limitations

Sudden, serious tire damage caused by 
external influences cannot be indicated in 

advance.

<

The system does not operate correctly if it has 
not been reset. For example, a flat tire may be 
indicated despite correct tire inflation pressures.
The system is inactive and cannot indicate a flat 
tire:

>

If a wheel without TPM electronics is 
mounted

>

Interference with TPM by other systems or 
devices with the same transmission fre-
quency.

Resetting system

Reset the system again after each correction of 
the tire inflation pressure and after every tire or 
wheel change.

1.

Start the engine, but do not start driving.

2.

Press the button in the turn signal indicator 
as often as necessary until "SET/INFO" is 
displayed.

3.

Press and hold the button until the display 
changes.

4.

Press the button repeatedly until the symbol 
for Tire Pressure Monitor and "ACTIVE" are 
displayed.
The Tire Pressure Monitor can be reset by 
selecting "RESET".

5.

Press and hold the button until "RESETTING" 
is displayed.

6.

Start driving.
After driving a few minutes, the set inflation 
pressures in the tires are accepted as the tar-
