Tyre Pressure Sensing (Option)
Tyre pressure sensing monitors the vehicle tyre pressures
and feeds-back this info rmation to the driver.
Each road wheel is installed with a tyre pressure sensing
device which sends tyre pressu re information to a control
unit mounted in the centre, rear wall of the boot.
The control unit provides a
visual warning by illuminating
the tyre pressure warning lamp
(A) on the instrument panel if
any tyre pressure falls below
specification.
Pressure Sensing
with Winter Wheels
and Tyres
If the tyre pressure sensing option is installed on the vehicle,
the winter road wheel and tyre option with the tyre pressure
sensing system should be installed. The tyre pressure sensing
system will need to be programmed to recognize additional
tyres.
Wa r n i n g s
WAR NI NG
TYRE PRESSURE SENSING IS NOT INTENDED TO REPLACE DRIVER AWARENESS OF TYRE
PERFORMANCE OR THE NEED FOR RECOMMENDED WEEKLY CHECKS ON TYRE CONDITION AND
PRESSURE.
Each pressure sensing device
has a colour coded collar.
Ensure the coloured collars
are always installed in their
original positions, i.e. after
new tyres are installed.

Display Unit
The display unit provides additional features when correctly
connected to a previously installed ‘Smartire’ system. The
display unit connects directly to the front of the basic
‘Smartire’ receiver and is powered from the vehicle circuits.
The display will be fully illu minated during use but will go
into ‘Energy Saver’ mode when no activity is detected.
Display Panel
Connection and Normal Operation
1. Remove the front bezel of the Pressure Sensor Receiver. Install the extension lead to the display unit and to the
receiver module. Turn on the ignition.
All icons will illuminate briefly and then extinguish
leaving only the vehicle outline.
2. When tyre pressure data is received, (drive the vehicle
or spin the road wheels), all the road wheel icons will
appear. Press the Tyre icon to access the recorded data
for each of the four road wheels.
3. Press the Mode button to scroll through the pressure, temperature and pressure deviation readings for the
selected tyre. 4. If any tyre pressure sensor is defective, the display will
show three dashes to indicate the absence of data for
that tyre.
5. To return to normal mode, press the SET button.
System Programming
The system may be programmed by the user on three
different levels. Enter Progra mming Mode by pressing the
‘Set’ button:
• 2 seconds to enter level 1
• 5 seconds to enter level 2
• 10 seconds to enter level 3
The following parameters ma y be set in each level:

1. Press ‘Set’ for 2 seconds to enter level 1 programming .
2. Press ‘Tyre’ to select the front or rear axle. Front or rear
tyres will be highlighted.
3. Press ‘Mode’ to show the current value. Press ‘Tyre’ to increase or ‘Mode’ to decrease the current value.
4. Press ‘Set’ to save the new values.
5. Repeat steps 2 - 4 to set the cold inflation pressure for other the axle.
