Function requirements

In order to assure the reliable reporting of a flat
tire, the system must be initialized for the cor-
rect tire inflation pressure.

The initialization must be repeated after
each time the tire inflation pressure is cor-

rected and after every tire or wheel change.

System limits

The Flat Tire Monitor cannot indicate
sudden severe tire damage caused by

outside factors and does not detect a natural,
even pressure drop in all four tires.

In the following situations, the system could be
delayed or malfunction:

System has not been initialized

Driving on snowy or slippery road surface

Sporty driving style: slip in the drive wheels,
high lateral acceleration

Driving with snow chains

When you are driving with the compact wheel

the Flat Tire Monitor is unable to function.

Initializing system

The initialization finishes during driving,
which can be interrupted at any time.

When driving resumes, the initialization is con-
tinued automatically. Do not initialize the sys-
tem when driving with snow chains

or with the
