System learningThe tire pressure monitoring begins to “learn” the
wheels after a wheel change, wheel transmitter
replacement or update of the tire settings. During
this process, the tire pressure monitoring recog-
nises the tires and their locations. The on-board
computer displayes the message “TPC inactive –
system learning”.
The tire pressure monitoring requires a certain
amount of time to learn the wheels. During this
time, the current tire pressures are not available
on the on-board-computer:
– The display of the Tire pressure function of the
on-board computer shows lines.
– The required pressures for cold tires at 68°F
(20°C) are indicated in the Info pressure
display in the Tire pressure menu.
– Tire pressure warnings are issued without tire
pressure and position information (figure) as
soon as the vehicle’s own wheels have been
detected and the tire pressure warning light
has gone out.Position and pressure information is displayed as
soon as the tire pressure monitoring has assigned
the wheels identified as belonging to the vehicle to
the correct wheel positions.
The wheel learning process takes place
exclusively when the vehicle is being driven.
fManually check the tire pressure at all wheels
and correct the tire pressure to the required
value.
Changing a wheel and replacing tiresfNew wheels must be fitted with radio transmit-
ters for the tire pressure monitoring.
Before tires are changed, the battery charge
state of the wheel transmitters should be
checked at an authorized Porsche dealer.
fSwitch the ignition off when changing a wheel.
The tire settings on the on-board computer must
be updated after changing a wheel.
A message appears if the characteristics of the
new tires do not agree with the on-board computer
settings.
fUpdate the on-board computer settings when
the vehicle is stationary the next time.
