Tyre Monitoring System - Seat Alhambra Owner's Manual

DCC continuously adapts the suspension to
the condition of the road and current driving
conditions, according to the pre-set pro-
gramme.
Steering is also adapted in the "Sport" pro-
gramme.

WARNING
Adjusting the suspension can change driv-
ing properties. Dynamic chassis control
must never lead to any kinds of risk.
Adapt your speed and driving style at all
●
times to suit visibility, weather, road and
traffic conditions.
Note
If the dynamic chassis control does not op-
erate as described in this chapter, go to an
authorised workshop and request it be
checked.
Note
In case of a fault in the dynamic chassis
control, the buttons C and S will so indicate.
Driving comfort might be affected by the
fault. Have the system checked by a speci-
alised workshop.

Tyre monitoring system

Introduction
The tyre monitor indicator monitors the tyre
pressure of each wheel during driving using
the ABS sensors. The ABS sensors monitor the
tyre tread perimeter and vibrations of each
tyre. The tyre monitor indicator warns the
driver if it detects a considerable drop in tyre
pressure of one or several tyres while driving.
Loss of tyre pressure will be indicated by the
indicator as well as an audible warning

and sometimes a text message on the dash
panel display. When you open the driver
door, you will find a label indicating the tyre
pressure recommended by the manufacturer
for the maximum vehicle load for each tyre
approved for the vehicle in question. By
pressing the adjustment button on the tyre
monitoring indicator, you may change the
reference pressure for the tyres so that the
tyre pressure coincides with actual pressure

WARNING
Unsuitable handling of the wheels and
tyres may lead to sudden tyre pressure los-
ses, to tread separation or even to a blow-
out.
Check tyre pressures regularly and en-
●
sure they are maintained at the pressures
indicated. If the tyre pressure is too low, the
tyres could overheat, resulting in tread de-
tachment or even burst tyres.
Tyre pressure should be that indicated on
●
the label when the tyres are cold at all
