The system may be impaired or may not function in
th efo llowing situations:
R the tyre pressure has been set incor rectl y.
R there is a sudden pressure loss caused, for
ex ample, byafo re ign object penetrating the
tyre.
R there is a malfunction caused byano ther radio
signal source.
If th e tyre pressure monitor is malfunctioning, it
may take more than ten minutes forth eh tyre
pressure warning lamp toinform you of the mal-
function. When thefa ult has been recti/ed, the
h warning lamp goes out aTer you ha vedriven
fo r a few minutes.
The tyre pressure values indicated bythe on-board
computer may di.er from those measured at a /ll-

The tyre pressures shown bythe on-board com-
puter referto those measured at sea le vel.At high
altitudes, the tyre pressure values indicated by a
pressure gauge are higher than those shown bythe
on-board computer. In this case, do not reduce the
tyre pressures.

Inter changing the front and rear wheels can
se verely impair the driving characteristics.
The disk brakes or wheel suspension compo-

Only inter change the front and rear
wheels if the wheels and tyres ha vethe
same dimensions. Inter
changing the front and rear wheels if the
wheels or tyres ha vedi.erent dimensions can ren-
der thege neral ope rating permit in valid.
On vehicles with the same front and rear wheel
size, you can inter change the wheels every 5,000
to 10,000 km depending on thewe ar. Ensure the
direction of rotation is maintained forth e wheels.
It is imperative toobser vethe inst ructions and
