there is a significant loss of pressure in one or
more tires. For this purpose, sensors in the tire
valves measure the tire inflation pressure.
General
information With use of the system observe further infor~
mation found under Tire inflation pressure, re~ fer to page 186.
Functional
requirements The system must have been reset with the cor~
rect tire inflation pressure; otherwise, reliable
signaling of tire pressure loss is not assured.

Check the air pressure in all four tires, e.g.
using the tire pressure gage of a tire repair kit.
If the tire inflation pressure in all four tires is correct, the Tire Pressure Monitor may not
have been initialized. In this case, initialize
the system.
If identification of flat tire damage is not
possible, please contact a dealer

flation pressure is reduced when the tire tem~perature falls again. These circumstances maycause a warning when temperatures fall very
sharply.
The system cannot indicate sudden serious tire damage caused by external circumstances.
