TYRE PRESSURE MONITOR
This system monitors the tyre
pressure.
The tyre pressure can be adjusted
when cold
(refer to the Tyre
pressure
information
for
the
values).
If tyre pressures cannot be checked
when the tyres are
cold
, the
recommended pressures must be
increased by
0.2
to
0.3
bar (
3
PSI).
Never deflate a hot tyre.
This
function
is
an
additional driving aid.
However, the function
does not take the place of the
driver. It cannot, therefore, under
any circumstances replace the
vigilance or the responsibility of
the driver.
Check
the
tyre
pressures,
including the spare wheel, once
a month.
Operating principle
Each wheel (except the spare wheel)
has a sensor in the inflation valve
which periodically measures the
tyre pressure.
The system informs the driver that
the tyres are sufficiently inflated
and warns if they are under-inflated
or if there is a leak.
The information display shows the
tyre pressures when ignition is
switched on (for approximately
20 seconds) or if there is a fault
when driving.
