Tyre Pressure Monitoring
Operation
The TPMS is designed to warn the
driver when a low tyre pressure
condition exists. TPMS sensors are
mounted onto each tyre and wheel
assembly, excluding the spare tyre
and wheel assembly. The TPMS
sensors monitor the air pressure in
the tyres and transmit the tyre
pressure readings to a receiver
located in the vehicle.
When a low tyre pressure condition is
detected, w illuminates. Stop as soon
as possible and inflate the tyres to the
recommended tyre pressure 3 173.
Additionally a warning message or a
warning code is displayed in the
Driver Information Centre 3 94.
The low tyre pressure control
indicator and a warning message or
code come on at each ignition cycle
until the tyres are inflated to the
correct tyre pressure.
Vehicle care
TPMS Malfunction Indicator and

The TPMS will not function properly if
one or more of the TPMS sensors are
missing or inoperable. When the
system detects a malfunction, w
flashes for approx. one minute and
then illuminates. Additionally a
warning message or code is
displayed.
The indication by the TPMS
malfunction indicator and a warning
message or code will come on at each
ignition cycle until the problem is
corrected. Some of the conditions
that can cause these to come on are:
■ One of the tyres has been replaced
with the spare tyre which does not
have a TPMS sensor.
■ The TPMS sensor matching
process was not done or not
completed successfully after
rotating the tyres. The malfunction
light and the warning message or
