Tire Pressure Control (RDC)

The concept
RDC monitors the tire pressures at all
four wheels, even when the vehicle is
moving. The system provides an alert
whenever the inflation pressure drops
significantly below the specified pres-
sure in one or more tires.

In order for the system to "learn" the
correct tire inflation pressure, check the
inflation pressure in all tires. Refer to

Loss in tire pressure
If the inflation pressure has dropped
significantly over a long period of time
(which is normal for any tire), the indica-
tor lamp will come on with a yellow
lamp.
