Safety Safety Intended use The display is only intended for displaying the data detected by the CPC system (air pressure and temperature of the tires) as well as warning messages. The pressure control indicator installed in the trailer is intended to be used for displaying the status of the CPC system at the trailer using light signals.
Safety General safety instructions Observe the following general safety instructions to ensure safe handling of the CPC system: ■ The operator must ensure that tires in which tire sensors are installed, are only operated in vehicles, in which monitoring is ensured by the CPC system.
Safety Particular hazards Special characteristic in the case of vehicles for hazardous substances (ADR): ■ If the CPC system is installed in a vehicle for hazardous materials (ADR) and the CPC system remains switched on although the vehi- cle ignition is switched off, it is possible that sparks, other ignition sources or similar could lead to a reaction with the hazardous material in the event of a fault.
