Spare Wheel - Skoda Roomster Owner's Manual

WARNING
When the warning light illuminates, immediately reduce the speed and
■ 
avoid sudden steering and brake manoeuvres. Stop the vehicle as soon as
possible and inspect the tyres and their inflation pressure.
Under certain circumstances (e.g. a racy style of driving, wintry or unpaved
■
roads), the warning light may be delayed or does not light up at all.

CAUTION
The tyre control display does therefore not replace the regular tyre inflation
■
pressure control, as the system cannot detect an even loss of pressure.
The system cannot warn in case of very rapid loss of tyre pressure, e.g. in the
■
event of a sudden puncture. In this case carefully bring the vehicle to a standstill
without sudden steering movements or sharp braking.
The basic setting must be repeated every 10,000 km or once a year to ensure
■
proper functioning of the tyre pressure monitor.
