TPM checks the inflation pressures of the four 
mounted tires. The system notifies you if there 
is a significant loss of pressure in one or more 
tires.

In order to assure the reliable reporting of a flat 
tire, the system must be reset while all tire infla-
tion pressures are correct.
Always use wheels with TPM electronics. Oth-
erwise, the system may malfunction.

Each time a tire inflation pressure has 
been corrected or a wheel or tire has been 

changed, reset the system.

<

TPM cannot warn you in advance of sud-
den severe tire damage caused by out-

side influences.

<

The system does not work correctly if it has not 
been reset; for example, a flat tire may be indi-
cated even though the tire inflation pressures 
are correct.
The system is inactive and cannot indicate a flat 
tire if a wheel without TPM electronics, such as 
a compact spare wheel, has been mounted, or if 
TPM is temporarily malfunctioning due to other 
systems or devices using the same radio fre-
quency.

Each time a tire inflation pressure has 
been corrected or a wheel or tire has been 

changed, reset the system.

target values to be monitored. The system 
reset is completed during your drive, and 
can be interrupted at any time. When driving
