TPMS VAUXHALL ANTARA 2015 Owner's Manual

Vehicle care179
Notice
In countries where the tyre pressure
monitoring system is legally
required, the use of wheels without
pressure sensors will invalidate the
vehicle type approval.
The TPMS sensors monitor the air
pressure in the tyres and transmit tyre pressure readings to a receiver
located in the vehicle.
Each tyre, including the spare, should be checked monthly when cold and
inflated to the recommended inflation
pressure 3 210.
Low tyre pressure conditionA detected low tyre pressure
condition is indicated by control
indicator w 3 89.
If w illuminates, stop as soon as
possible and inflate the tyres as
recommended 3 210.
When the system detects a
malfunction, w will flash for approx.
one minute and then remain
continuously illuminated. This
sequence will continue upon
subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction exists.
When w is illuminated, the system
may not be able to detect or signal low tyre pressure as intended.Tyre pressures in Info-Display
The current tyre pressures can be
shown in the menu item Tyres in the
Board Computer menu. Press the
BC button on the Infotainment system
and select the menu item.
The tyre pressure monitoring system
automatically detects the vehicle
load. A corresponding message may appear on the Info-Display if
inconsistent tyre pressures are
detected. In some versions, the
message is displayed in abbreviated
form.

180Vehicle care
For example, the following messagescan be displayed:
A graphic indicating the left rear tyre
is shown together with the current tyre
pressure; slight pressure deviation.
Reduce speed. Check tyre pressure
at next opportunity with an
appropriate gauge and correct if
necessary.
On the Colour-Info-Display, this
message will appear in yellow.
A graphic indicating the front left tyre is shown together with the current tyre
pressure; significant pressure
deviation or direct pressure loss.
Steer out of the flow of traffic as
quickly as possible without
endangering other vehicles. Stop and check the tyres. Mount the spare
wheel if necessary 3 186.
On the Colour-Info-Display, this
message will appear in red.
Acknowledgement of warnings 3 92,
3 95.
Vehicle messages 3 100.
If the tyre pressure is to be reduced or
increased, switch off the ignition. Tyre
pressures 3 178, 3 210.
Temperature dependency Tyre pressure depends on the
temperature of the tyre. During
driving, tyre temperature and
pressure increase.
The tyre pressure value shown in the Info-Display is the actual tyre
pressure. Therefore it is important to
check tyre pressure with cold tyres.
General information
The use of commercially available
liquid tyre repair kits can impair the
function of the system. Factory-
approved tyre repair kits can be used.
Tyre repair kit 3 183.
External high-power radio equipment
could disrupt the TPMS.
The tyre pressure monitoring system
valve cores and sealing rings must be
replaced each time the tyres are
changed.

TPMS sensor matching process
Each TPMS sensor has a unique
identification code. The identification
code must be matched to a new tyre/ wheel position after rotating the tyres
or replacing one or more of the TPMS
sensors.
The TPMS sensor matching process
should also be performed after
replacing a spare tyre with a road tyre containing a TPMS sensor. The
control indicator w and the warning
message should extinguish at the
next ignition cycle.
The sensors are matched to the tyre/
wheel positions, using a TPMS
relearn tool, in the following order:
■ left front tyre
■ right front tyre
■ right rear tyre
■ left rear tyre
Consult your workshop for service or
to purchase a relearn tool.
There are two minutes to match the
first tyre/wheel position, and
five minutes overall to match all fourtyre/wheel positions. If it takes longer,
the matching process stops and must be restarted.
The TPMS sensor matching process
is as follows:
1. Apply the electrical parking brake 3 137 ; on vehicles with automatic
transmission move the selector
lever to position P.
2. Turn the ignition on 3 124.
3. Initiate the TPMS Learn Mode by simultaneously pressing buttons
p and q on the radio remote
control,
- or -
Press the INFO button on the
Infotainment system until a tyre
learn message appears on the
Info-display. Press and hold the
OK button.
The horn sounds twice and the left front turn signal also illuminates
as confirmation that Learn Mode
has been enabled.
4. Start with the left front tyre.5. Place the relearn tool against the tyre sidewall, near the valve stem.Then press the button to activatethe TPMS sensor. A horn chirp
confirms that the sensor
identification code has been
matched to this tyre and wheel
position. The next relevant turn
signal illuminates.
6. Proceed to the right front tyre, and
repeat the procedure in Step 5.
7. Proceed to the right rear tyre, and
repeat the procedure in Step 5.
8. Proceed to the left rear tyre, and repeat the procedure in Step 5.
The horn sounds twice to indicate
the sensor identification code has been matched, and the TPMS
sensor matching process is no
longer active.
9. Turn off the ignition.
10. Set all four tyres to the recommended inflation pressure
3 210.
