TPMS malfunction
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a
TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate
when the system is not operating properly
The TPMS malfunction indicator is
combined with the tire pressure telltale.
When the system detects a malfunction, the
indicator will flash for approximately one
minute and then remain continuously
illuminated. This sequence will continue
upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as long
as the malfunction exists.
When the malfunction indicator is
illuminated, the system may not be able to
detect or signal low tire pressure as
intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur
for a variety of reasons, including the
installation of replacement or alternate tires
or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the
TPMS from functioning properly. Always
check the TPMS malfunction indicator after
replacing one or more tires or wheels to
ensure that the replacement or alternate
tires and wheels allow the TPMS to function
properly.
Note: If a tire has been replaced, or repaired
using a different tire sealant from the one
supplied with the vehicle, and a low tire
pressure is detected, it is possible that the
tire sensor has been damaged. Please
contact your local Fisker Retailer to have
the fault rectified as soon as possible.
Tire pressure correction
The tire pressure indicator light does not
automatically turn off when the tire pressure
is adjusted for all 4 tires.
After the tires are inflated to the correct
pressures, the vehicle must be driven above
19 mph (30 km/h) for more than 10 minutes
to activate the TPMS and turn off the low
tire pressure indicator light.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
Tire changing
Always have your tires serviced or changed
by a qualified technician.
Care must be taken to avoid contact
between the bead of the tire and the sensor
during removal and refitting of the tire,
otherwise the sensor may become
damaged and or inoperable.
Replacing a tire sensor
If you are experiencing frequent low tire
pressure warnings and the tire pressures
are correct, the system should be checked
by your local Fisker Retailer to determine if
a tire sensor requires replacement.
If a tire sensor is replaced, it must be
programmed to the vehicle before it will
register the correct tire pressure on the
system.
