Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (Tpms) - MG GS Handbook

Tyre Pressure Monitoring System
*
(TPMS)
TPMS can not replace routine maintenance
and checks of the tyre condition and
pressure.
Note: TPMS only warns of low tyre pressures, it does
not re-inflate the tyre.
TPMS detects the tyre pressure through radio wave
and sensing technique. TPMS sensor can monitor the
pressure of vehicle's tyre and send it to a receiver in the
vehicle. You can view the tyre pressure via the vehicle
information menu of instrument pack. TPMS can remind
you of low tyre pressure condition, however, it can't
substitute the normal tyre maintenance, please refer to
"Tyre Inspection".in "Service and Maintenance" section.
If the TPMS malfunction indicator lamp
illuminates, and displays the warning message "XX Tyre
Low Pressure, Inflate to XXX"; in this case, please stop
the car as soon as possible, check the tyre pressure and
inflate the tyre to correct pressure value. It will cause
Starting & Driving
the tyre overheating and result in tyre failure if driving
with tyre of obviously insufficient inflation pressure.
In addition, insufficient inflation will also decrease fuel
economy, shorten the life of wheel track, and may affect
the operational performance and brake performance of
the vehicle. The tyre pressure label attached to the vehicle
indicates the correct pressure value required by your
vehicle tyres when they are cold.
TPMS Self-learning
When replacing a TPMS sensor and receiver, or performing
tyre rotation, the TPMS self-learning is required, please
consult a local MG Authorised Repairer for details.
