Tyre Pressure Monitoring System - Renault LAGUNA Driver's Handbook Manual

TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM

If the vehicle is equipped with the func-
tion, this system monitors the tyre pres-
sure.
Operating principle
Each wheel (except for the emergency
spare wheel) has a sensor in the infla-
tion valve which periodically measures
the tyre pressure. The system informs
the driver via the on-board computer 1
that the tyres are sufficiently inflated
and warns if they are underinflated or
leaking. The warning light
display 1 comes on to notify the driver if
the pressure is too low.
This function is an additio-
nal driving aid.
However, the function does
not take the place of the
driver. It cannot, therefore, under
any circumstances replace the vi-
gilance or the responsibility of the
driver.
Check the tyre pressures, including
the emergency spare wheel, once a
month.

Resetting the standard level
for the tyre pressures
This should be done:
– when the standard tyre pressure
needs to be changed to adapt to
usage conditions (empty, carrying a
load, motorway driving, etc.);
– after swapping wheels over;
– after changing a wheel.

It should always be done after checking
the tyre pressure of all four tyres when
cold.
Tyre pressures must correspond to the
current usage of the vehicle (empty,
carrying a load, motorway driving, etc.).
With the ignition on:
– make short presses on one of the
buttons 2 or 3 to select the display of
the tyre pressures on the display 1.
– press and hold (around 3 seconds)
button 2 or 3 to start initialisation. A
flashing tyre followed by the mes-
sage "Pressure ref Ongoing" indi-
cates that the request to learn the
reference pressure has been taken
into account;
– reset can take several minutes of
driving.
