Tyre Pressure Monitoring - Aston Martin One-77 2010 Owner's Manual

Tyre Pressure Monitoring

Warning: Driving on a significantly under-
inflated tyre causes the tyre to overheat and can
lead to tyre failure. Under-inflation also reduces
fuel efficiency and tyre tread life, and may affect
the vehicle's handling and stopping ability.
Each tyre should be checked monthly when cold, in
the ambient air temperature that the vehicle is
normally driven. Setting tyre pressures in a warm
garage and then driving in a very low ambient may
result in a low tyre pressure warning. Set the correct
pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer
on the vehicle placard or tyre inflation pressure label (if
your vehicle has tyres of a different size than the size
shown on the vehicle placard or tyre inflation pressure
label, you should make sure of the correct tyre pressure
for those tyres).
4.24
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been
equipped with a Tyre Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) that sets a tyre pressure telltale (warning)
symbol to ON (A) when one or more of the tyres is
significantly under or over inflated. At the same time an
image of vehicle in the message centre (right) will show
which tyre(s) have low or high air pressure and the
current tyre pressure. When the tyre pressure telltale
comes ON, stop and check your tyres as soon as
possible, and inflate or deflate them to the correct
pressure.
The TPMS is not a substitute for correct tyre
maintenance, and it is the driver's responsibility to
maintain correct tyre pressures, even if under-inflation
has not reached the level to set the TPMS tyre pressure
telltale symbol to ON.
