Driving Tips; Changing Awheel; Changing Procedure - Fiat DUCATO Quick Manual

25) The system only warns that the tyre
pressure is low: it is not able to inflate
them.
26) Insufficient tyre inflation increases
fuel consumption, reduces the tread
duration and may affect your ability to
drive the vehicle safely.
27) Always refit the valve stem cap after
inspecting or adjusting tyre pressure.
This prevents dampness or dirt from
entering the valve stem and thus the
pressure control sensor from being
damaged.
28) The tyre repair kit (Fix&Go) provided
with the vehicle (for versions/markets,
where provided) is compatible with
the TPMS sensors; using sealants not
equivalent with that in the original kit may
adversely affect its operation. If sealants
not equivalent with the original one are
used, it is recommended to have the
TPMS sensor operation checked by a
qualified repair centre.
