Wheels. Tires. Alianment Tire pressure warning system - General General A tire pressure warning system is fitted to 928 S 4 vehicles as standard, from Mod. 1989 onwards, initially excluding USA and Canada, however. The tire pressure warning system is another development which constitutes a significant contribution towards road safety.

Wheels, Tires, Alignment Tire pressures on cars with RDK Important notes The tire pressure control system takes the effect of tire temperature on tire pressure into account. Despite this, if is possible for the tire not to reach the nominal pressure only in a particularvehicle operating situation.
Page 137
Wheels, Tires, Alignment A: Conventional adjustment of tire pressure if the “Pressure Loss” fault display appears, tire pressure at the affected wheel must be increased by 0.3 bar or at least to the specified pressure at that wheel. Since diffusion losses are approxi- mately the same at the two wheels on any one axle, the tire pressure at the other wheel should therefore be increased by the same amouint.
Page 138
To avoid this problem, tire pressures in the workshop should always be adjusted as follows with the Porsche 9288 system tester, and not with a conventional tire pressure gauge: 1. Connect the Porsche 9298 system tester and select the RDK control unit. 2. Call up the “Switch inputs” menu with the “Pressure Switch” display.
Page 139
Wheels, Tires, Alignment Quick test of RDK Whenever a wheel or tire is changed, it is essential lo perform a quick test of the tire pressure con- trol system. If only one wheel was removed, the quick RDK test need only be performed at this wheel. A short test drive for a distance of at least 20 meters, at a road speed of 5 and 4Uph and at the following tire pressures is sufficient:...
