TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM
2
114 - Driving
When fitted to the vehicle, this system
notifies the driver if one or more tyres
lose pressure.
This function is an
additional driving aid.
The function does not
take the place of the
driver. It cannot, therefore, under
any circumstances replace the
vigilance or the responsibility of
the driver.
Check the tyre pressures,
including the emergency spare
wheel, once a month.
Operating principle
Each wheel (except for the emergency
spare wheel if fitted) has a sensor in
the inflation valve which periodically
measures the tyre pressure during
driving.
Warning light
1
comes on
steady to alert the driver in the event of
insufficient pressure (deflated wheel,
punctured tyre, etc.).
Resetting the standard level for
the tyre pressures
This should be performed:
– when the standard tyre pressure
needs to be changed to adapt to
usage conditions (empty, carrying a
load, motorway driving, etc.);
– after swapping a left-hand/right-hand
wheel (this practice is not
recommended);
– after changing a wheel.
It should always be done after
checking the tyre pressure of all four
tyres when cold.
Tyre pressures must correspond to the
current usage of the vehicle (empty,
carrying a load, motorway driving,
etc.).
Resetting procedure
Conditions for launching the reset:
– ignition on;
– vehicle stationary;
– tyre pressure above 1.6 bar (refer to
the information on "Tyre pressure" in
Section 4).
If the tyre pressure
resetting conditions are not
met, the "Tyre pressure
SET unavailable" message will be
displayed on the instrument
panel.
