The initialization must be repeated after 
every correction of the tire inflation pres-

sure and after every tire or wheel change.

<

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 snow-covered or slippery roads

>

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

>

Driving with snow chains

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

When driving resumes, the initialization is auto-
matically continued. 
Do not initialize the system when driving with 
snow chains
