The SmarTire System and Tire Maintenance
This system is a sensing device designed to identify and display tire operating data
and activate an alert or warning when pressure or temperature irregularities are
detected. It is the responsibility of the driver to react promptly and with discretion
to alerts and warnings. Abnormal tire inflation pressures should be corrected at
the earliest opportunity.

System Installation and Usage

Use of the SmarTire
programmed by qualified personnel according to SmarTire Systems Inc. documentation.
This includes the Owner s Manual and any supplementary installation instructions
included with system components.

Warnings

1. When an alert or warning conditions is detected, reduce vehicle speed to an
appropriate safe level and proceed to a safe stopping location or facility where
the tire can be inspected and serviced.
2. The pressure deviation alert indicates that the pressure has dropped a selected
amount below the required pressure for that level of tire temperature.
3. The low pressure warning indicates that the air pressure has dropped to a
selected minimum.
4. The high temperature warning indicates that the contained air temperature has
exceeded the selected maximum. A tire temperature buildup can be caused by a
number of factors including severe under inflation, hard sustained braking,
vehicle overload and sustained high speeds.
