NOTE:
When filling warm tires, the tire pressure may need to
be increased up to an additional 4 psi (28 kPa) above
the recommended cold placard pressure in order to
turn the TPMS Warning Light off.
The system will automatically update, the graphic
display of the pressure value(s) will return to its original
color and the TPMS Warning Light will extinguish once
the updated tire pressure(s) have been received. The
vehicle may need to be driven for up to 20 minutes
above 50 mph (80 km/h) to receive this information.
RESET Procedure
The iTPMS needs an initial "selflearning" phase (with
length depending on the driving style and road
conditions: optimal conditions being driving on a
straight road at 50 mph (80 km/h) for at least 20
minutes) which starts when the RESET procedure is
carried out manually.
The RESET procedure must be carried out:
●
each time tire pressure is modified;
●
when even only one tire is changed;
●
when tires are rotated/inverted;
●
when the space-saver wheel is fitted.
Before carrying out the RESET procedure, inflate the
tires to the rated pressure values specified in the
ð
inflation pressure table see
page
If the RESET is not carried out, in all above cases, the
warning light may give false indications on one or more
tires.
To carry out the RESET procedure, with the car stopped
and the ignition device at ON/RUN, use the Main Menu
as follows:
●
go to "Vehicle info" and then to "Reset tire pressure";
●
press the "OK" and hold down (more than 2
seconds);
●
the display will show the procedure progress (with a
graphic bar) until the RESET is completed.
At the end of the RESET procedure the display will
show the "Reset saved" message, indicating that the
self-learning has been started and you will hear an
acoustic warning.
If the self-learning procedure of the iTPMS system has
not been carried out correctly, no warning is provided.
Operating Conditions
The system is active for speeds above 9 mph (15
km/h).
In a few situations such as sporty driving, particular
conditions of the road surface (e.g. icy, snowy,
unsurfaced roads) the signalling may be delayed or
partial in detecting the contemporary deflation of more
than one tire.
Under special conditions (e.g. car loaded
asymmetrically on one side, towing a trailer, damaged
or worn tire, fitting the space-saver wheel, use of
the "Fix&Go" tire repair kit, fitting snow chains, fitting
194.
different tires on the axles) the system may provide
false indications or be temporarily deactivated.
If the system is temporarily deactivated the warning
light flashes for about 75 seconds and then is
continuously on; at the same time, the display shows
the shape of the car and the symbols "– –" will appear
next to each tire.
This warning is displayed also after the engine has
been switched off and then on again if the correct
operating conditions are not restored.
In the case of abnormal signals, it is recommended
to perform the RESET procedure. If the indications
appear again after a successful RESET, check that the
tires used on all four wheels are the same and that
the tires are not damaged. As soon as possible, refit
the standard tire instead of the space-saver wheel,
remove the snow chains, if possible, check correct load
distribution and repeat the RESET procedure by driving
on a clean, tarmacked road. If the indications persist,
contact an authorized dealer.
