TPMS, as damage to the sensors may
result.
• The system can temporarily experience
radio-electric interference emitted by
devices using similar frequencies.
• After inspecting or adjusting the tire
pressure, always reinstall the valve
stem cap. This will prevent moisture
and dirt from entering the valve stem
and damage the TPMS internal sensor.
NOTE:
• Driving on a significantly underinflated
tire causes the tire to overheat and
may lead to tire failure. Under-inflation
also reduces fuel efficiency and tire
tread life, and may affect the vehicle's
handling and stopping ability.
• The TPMS is not a substitute for proper
tire maintenance, and it is the driver's
responsibility to maintain correct
tire pressure using an accurate tire
pressure gauge, even if under-inflation
has not reached the level to trigger
illumination of the TPMS light
• Seasonal temperature changes will
affect tire pressure, and the TPMS will
monitor the actual tire pressure in the
tire.
Premium System
The TPMS system uses wireless
technology with wheel rim mounted
electronic sensors to monitor tire
pressure levels. Sensors mounted to
each wheel as part of the valve stem
transmit tire pressure readings to the
receiver module.
The TPMS consists of the following
components:
• receiver module;
• four TPMS sensors;
• various TPMS messages, which display
on the instrument cluster;
• warning light .
Tire Pressure Low Warning
The TPMS light
instrument cluster and an acoustic signal
will notify that tire pressure is low in one
or more of the four tires.
The instrument cluster will also display
a widget in the left area reporting the
pressure values of each tire with flashing
low pressure value. It is possible to
display the current tire pressure also on
the MIA screen, by accessing the "Tire
Pressure" menu (see "Functions of My
. Car Menu on MIA" in section "Dashboard
Instruments and Controls")
Should this occur, you should stop as
soon as possible and inflate the tire/s
will illuminate in the
with the low pressure (the one/s flashing
in the instrument cluster graphic) to the
recommended cold pressure inflation
value. Once the system receives the
updated tire pressure value, the system
will automatically update, the graphic
display in the instrument cluster will stop
flashing, and the TPMS light
off. The vehicle may need to be driven
for up to 20 minutes at a speed between
24 km/h (15 mph) and 130 km/h (80
mph) in order for the TPMS to acquire
and process the updated information.
In case of replacement of wheel rims
and/or the relative valve with TPMS
sensor, or if the wheel arrangement is
changed, when reusing the vehicle it
may be necessary to wait 20 minutes
for the TPMS to acquire and process
the new components and/or the new
configuration.
