Note
•
Responsibility for ensuring that the tyres are correctly inflated
remains with the driver; the system can only provide assistance.
•
Only adjust the inflation pressure of the tyres when they are at
approximately ambient temperature.
•
The sensors and valves do not have to be detached or changed
round when fitting new tyres. Only the valve core needs to be
replaced, and if necessary the valve and the electronic components
in the wheel.
•
After using the Tyre Mobility System* the tyre pressure moni-
toring system may malfunction. The sensor for the tyre pressure
monitoring system must therefore be renewed by a qualified
workshop.
Applies to vehicles: with tyre pressure monitoring systemMalfunctionsIf the tyre pressure monitoring system is inoperative, the tyre
symbol or “TPMS” will appear on the display. This can have various
causes:•
One of the wheel sensors or other related components may not
be working.
•
Snow chains can interfere with the signals emitted by the
sensors so that the system cannot function properly.
•
The tyre pressure monitoring system may be inoperative due to
radio interference.
•
Radio systems operating on the same frequency, such as radio
headphones or two-way radios inside the vehicle, produce strong
electromagnetic fields which can cause temporary interference.
•
If the fault persists, take the vehicle to a qualified workshop.
