distance.
Differing tyre pressures or tyre pressures that are too low can cause sudden tyre failure and lead to a tyre burst and the loss of control over
the vehicle.
The driver is responsible for the correct tyre pressure of all tyres on the vehicle. The recommended tyre pressure can be found on the

sticker
The tyre monitoring system cannot function correctly until all cold wheels have the correct tyre pressure.
Pressure in all tyres must always be appropriate to the vehicle load
Always inflate all tyres to the correct tyre pressure before every journey
If driven with insufficient pressure, the tyre flexes more. This could warm up the tyre to such an extent that the tread may separate and the
tyre could burst. This could cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.
High speeds and overloading of the vehicle may cause the tyres to heat up to such an extent that the tyre bursts, leading you to lose control
of the vehicle.
If the tyre pressure is too low or too high, the tyres will wear prematurely and the vehicle will not handle well.
If the tyre is not flat and it is not necessary to change the wheel immediately, drive at low speed to the nearest qualified workshop and
check and correct the tyre pressure
WARNING
Failure to observe illuminated indicator lamps and text messages can lead to your vehicle breaking down in traffic, and can cause accident and
serious injury.
Never ignore any illuminated indicator lamps or text messages.
Stop the vehicle as soon as it is possible and safe to do so.
NOTICE
Failure to observe illuminated indicator lamps and text messages can lead to your vehicle being damaged.
Tyre Pressure Loss Indicator
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warnings
The Tyre Pressure Loss Indicator uses data from the ABS sensors and other functions to check the speed of rotation and the rolling
circumference of the individual wheels. Any change in the rolling circumference of one or more wheels is shown by the Tyre Pressure Loss
Indicator in the instrument cluster display.
Changes in the rolling circumference
The rolling circumference of a tyre can change:
If the tyre pressure has been changed manually.
If the tyre pressure is too low.
If the tyre has structural damage.
If the vehicle is loaded more heavily on one side.
If the wheels on one axle are loaded more heavily, e.g. high load level.
If snow chains have been fitted.
If a temporary spare wheel has been fitted.
If one wheel per axle has been changed.
