Tyre pressure monitoring*

Tyre pressure monitoring warns the driver
when the pressure is too low in one or more
of the car's tyres. For certain markets the tyre
pressure monitoring is standard in accord-
ance with legal requirements.
There are two systems for tyre pressure
monitoring, TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring
System) and TM (Tyre Monitor). In the event
of uncertainty about which system the car
has, open the menu system MY CAR and
search for the car's settings:
•
Tyre pressure
The menu is used if it is
TPMS, see TPMS (Tyre Pressure
Monitoring System)* - general (p. 335)
•
Tyre monitoring
The menu is used if it is
TM, see TM (Tyre Monitor)* (p. 340).
The system does not replace normal tyre
maintenance.

Tyre pressure monitoring uses sensors
located inside the air valve in each wheel.
When the car is driven at about 30 km/h the
system detects the tyre pressure. If the pres-
sure is too low then a warning lamp
nates in the combined instrument panel and
one of the following messages is shown:
•
