Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (Tpms) - Mahindra XUV 500 Owner's Manual

DRIVING AND OPERATION
Tyre Pressure Monitor-
ing System (TPMS) (If
equipped)
TPMS is an electronic system designed to
monitor the air pressure inside the
pneumatic tyres. This system will alert the
driver if the tyre pressure falls below the
low pressure warning limit for any reason,
including low temperature effects and
natural pressure loss through the tyre.
The TPMS will continue to alert the driver
and will not turn off until the tyre pressure
is inflated to the recommended pressure.
Operation of TPMS
TPMS uses wireless technology with
wheel rim mounted electronic sensors to
monitor tyre pressure levels. Sensors
mounted to the valve stem of each wheel,
transmit tyre pressure readings to the
receiver module. Receiver module in turn
will communicate this information to the
instrument cluster and infotainment
system. Tyre locations will display as OK,
if all tyre pressure and temperature are in
the recommended range.

CAUTION
• The TPMS has been customised
only for the manufacturer's genuine
tyres and wheels. TPMS pressure
limits and warning messages have
been established for the tyre size

Replacement of manufacturer 's
parts with a different size, type or
style of components may damage
the sensor and also it may give
incorrect readings.

maintenance or to provide warning
of a tyre failure or condition
• The TPMS should not be used as a
v e h i c l e .
tyre pressure gauge while adjusting
vehicle tyre pressure
• Driving with under-inflated tyres
cause the tyres to overheat and may
lead to tyre failure.
• Under-inflated tyres also reduce
fuel efficiency and tyre tread life, and
m a y a f f e c t
manoverability and braking ability.
• The TPMS is not a substitute for
proper tyre maintenance, and it is
t h e d r i v e r ' s r e s p o n s i b i l i t y t o
maintain correct tyre pressure using
an accurate pressure gauge, even if
under-inflation has not reached the
level to trigger illumination of the
TPMS warning indicator.
