Warnings
The system has not been designed to
prevent impacts and cannot detect
possible conditions leading to an
accident in advance. Failure to take
into account this warning may lead to
serious or fatal injuries.
In case of complex scenarios,
unexpected or unnecessary warnings
or braking may occur.
iTPMS (indirect Tyre
Pressure Monitoring
System)
80) 81) 82) 83) 84) 85)
The car can be equipped with the
iTPMS (indirect Tyre Pressure
Monitoring System) which monitors the
tyre inflation status thanks to wheel
speed sensors.
CORRECT TYRE PRESSURE
If no flat tyres are detected, the
outline of the car will be shown in the
dedicated display screen.
LOW TYRE PRESSURE
The system warns the driver if one or
more tyres are flat by turning on the
warning light on the instrument panel
together with an acoustic warning.
This warning is displayed also when
turning the engine off and on again until
the RESET procedure is carried out.
RESET PROCEDURE
The iTPMS needs an initial "self-
learning" phase (with length depending
on the driving style and road
conditions: optimal conditions being
driving on a straight road at 80 km/h for
at least 20 minutes) which starts when
the RESET procedure is carried out
manually.
The RESET procedure must be carried
out:
each time tyre pressure is modified;
when even only one tyre is changed;
when tyres are rotated/inverted;
when the space-saver wheel is fitted.
Before carrying out the RESET
procedure, inflate the tyres to the
rated pressure values specified in
the inflation pressure table (see the
"Wheels" chapter in the "Technical
specifications" section).
If the RESET is not carried out, in all
above cases, the warning light may
give false indications on one or more
tyres.
To carry out the RESET procedure,
with the car stopped and the ignition
device at ENGINE, use the Main Menu
as follows:
go to "Vehicle info" and then to
"Reset tyre pressure";
press the "OK" and hold down (more
than 2 seconds);
the display will show the procedure
progress (with a graphic bar) until the
RESET is completed.
At the end of the RESET procedure
the display will show the "Reset
saved" message, indicating that the
self-learning has been started and you
will hear an acoustic warning.
If the self-learning procedure of the
iTPMS system has not been carried out
correctly, no warning is provided.
OPERATING CONDITIONS
The system is active for speeds above
15 km/h.
In a few situations such as sporty
driving, particular conditions of the road
surface (e.g. icy, snowy, unsurfaced
roads) the signalling may be delayed or
partial in detecting the contemporary
deflation of more than one tyre.
