WARNING
● When the tyre pressure control lamp lights
up, reduce speed immediately and avoid any
sudden turning or braking manoeuvre. Stop
when possible, and check the tyre pressure

The driver is responsible for maintaining

pressure must be regularly checked.

driving in a sporty manner, in winter condi-
tions or on a dirt track) the tyre control lamp
may light up belatedly or may function incor-
rectly.

warning lamp  lights up after turning the
ignition on. This should turn off after a brief
journey.
