Automatic tyre pressure<br />
monitoring 3<br />
WARNING<br />
The system is an aid to the driver. The<br />
driver always has the responsibility that<br />
the tyres have the correct air pressure.<br />
Never use the system to assist with tyre<br />
pressure reading when adjusting tyre<br />
pressures.<br />
Wear indicator<br />
For optimum safety, economy and comfort<br />
tyre pressures should be checked regularly<br />
even if the automatic tyre pressure<br />
monitoring has not alarmed.<br />
The system consists of a sensor in each<br />
wheel and a common receiver. The sensors<br />
are located inside the tyre in direct connection<br />
with the air pressure valves.<br />
Make sure that wheels with sensors for tyre<br />
pressure monitoring are fitted during<br />
replacement if the car has automatic tyre<br />
pressure monitoring.<br />
NOTICE<br />
Tyre replacement must take place with<br />
great care to avoid damaging the sensors<br />
that are built together with the valves.<br />
• Remove the rear side first.<br />
• Start to remove the tyre opposite the<br />
valve.<br />
• During removal the tyre machine must<br />
not come closer than ±10° from the<br />
valve.<br />
• During fitting, start 20° after the valve<br />
and finish at the latest 20° before the<br />
valve.<br />
• Do not inflate the tyre with pressure<br />
higher than 7 bar (102 psi).<br />
Tyre pressure information is transmitted<br />
wireless to the receiver.<br />
The system checks the tyre pressures when<br />
speed exceeds 30 km/h.<br />
The system is self-programming which<br />
means that the wheels can be shifted<br />
around without any need for adjustment.<br />
The spare wheel has no sensor.<br />

The sensor batteries last for 10 years or<br />
around 160 000 km. The battery cannot be<br />
replaced. The whole sensor must be<br />
replaced.<br />
The system does not warn if the tyre pressure<br />
is too high.<br />
If the system has warned or triggered an<br />
alarm due to inadequate pressure then<br />
the pressure must be reset to the recommended<br />
pressure so that the warning/alarm<br />
is cleared.
