. When the switch is pressed to
deactivate the Vehicle Dynamics Con-

installed in each wheel when tire pressure
is severely low.
The tire pressure monitoring system will

speeds above 20 mph (32 km/h). Also,
this system may not react immediately to a
sudden drop in tire pressure (for example,

road to a safe place. Otherwise an
accident involving serious vehicle
damage and serious personal injury
could occur.
Check the pressure for all four tires
