Tire Pressure Monitor TPM
Concept
The system monitors tire inflation pressure
in the four mounted tires. The system warns
you if there is a significant loss of pressure
in one or more tires.
General information
Sensors in the tire valves measure the tire
inflation pressure and, depending on the
model, the tire temperature.
Further information and instructions on us-
ing the system can also be found under Tire
inflation pressure, refer to page 244.
Functional requirements
The following conditions must be met for
the system; otherwise, reliable flagging of a
loss of tire inflation pressure is not assured:
– After a tire or wheel replacement, a re-
set was performed with the correct tire
inflation pressure.

Safety
– After the tire inflation pressure was ad-
justed to a new value, a reset was per-
formed.
– Wheels with TPM wheel electronics.
