equipment, e.g. radio headphones, two-way radi-
os, is being operated in or near the vehicle.

If you correct the tyre pressure or change
the wheels, this is usually detected automatical-
ly by the tyre pressure monitor. After a few min-

tyre pressure. A tyre pressure warning is then
cleared automatically.
