Technical Specifications - Ford Kuga Owner's Manual

WARNINGS
Do not drive on significantly
under-inflated tyres. This may cause
the tyres to overheat and fail.
Under-inflation reduces fuel efficiency, tyre
tread life and may also affect your ability
to drive the vehicle safely.
CAUTIONS
Do not bend or damage the valves
when you are inflating the tyres.
Have tyres installed by properly
trained technicians.
The Deflation Detection System will alert
you if there is a change of air pressure in
any tyre. It does this by using the ABS
sensors to detect the rolling circumference
of the wheels. When the circumference
changes, this indicates low pressure in a
tyre, a warning message is displayed in the
information display and the message
indicator will illuminate. See Information
Messages (page 74).
Apart from a too low tyre pressure or a
damaged tyre, the following situations can
affect the rolling circumference:
Vehicle load is uneven.
When using a trailer or travelling up and
down an incline.
Using snow chains.
Driving on soft surfaces such as snow
or mud.

Note: The system will still function
correctly, but there may be an increased
detection time.
If a low pressure warning message is
displayed in the information display, check
the tyre pressures as soon as possible and
inflate them to the recommended
pressure. See Technical Specifications
(page 166).
If this happens frequently, have the cause
determined and rectified as soon as
possible.

Note: Do not reset the system when the
vehicle is moving.
