Restarting the tyre pressure monitor
When you restart the tyre pressure monitor, the
currently set tyre pressures are taken as refer-
ence values for monitoring.
In most cases, the tyre pressure monitor detects
the new reference values automatically, e.g.
after you have:
changed the tyre pressure
R
changed wheels or tyres
R
fitted new wheels or tyres

However, you can also define reference values
manually as described here.
Before restarting the tyre pressure monitor:
