Tyre Temperature And Pressure Monitoring System (Tpms); Displaying Messages On The Left Tft Display - Ferrari 2012 F12 Berlinetta Owner's Manual

Tyre temperature and pressure monitoring
system (TPMS)
The vehicle is equipped with a system that measures the tyre
pressure and temperature using special sensors fitted inside the
wheel rims next to the air valve. These sensors transmit a signal
that is received by the antennas on the car body, behind the gravel
guards, that are connected to the ECU.
Important note
The system may be momentarily affected by radioelectrical
interference from devices that use similar wavelengths.
The ECU processes this information and transmits data on tyre
pressure and temperature and any system errors to the instrument
panel.
The signal transmitted by the ECU activates symbols on the left
TFT display (see page 88) with two priority levels: a soft warning if
the pressure loss is 0.2 bar more than the rated pressure and a hard
warning if it is 0.5 bar more or there is a dynamic decrease of over
0.2 bar/min.
The TPMS system is calibrated from the specific menu option of
the left hand TFT display (see page 90).
Important note
System calibration using the special menu item is necessary after
replacement or inflation of a tyre or tyres.
Warning
The TPMS warns the driver that the tyre pressure has
decreased. However, this does NOT exempt the driver from
periodically checking that the tyres are inflated to the indicated
pressure.
In addition, the system does NOT warn the driver of damage to
the tyres by external agents.

Displaying messages on the left TFT display

The driver may use the left hand TFT display controls (see
page 88) to access the TYRES screen page, which displays the
vehicle symbol together with the pressure and temperature values
of each tyre as shown in the following example 1.
