▷ After every tyre or wheel change, the system
must be initialised once the tyre inflation
pressure is correct.
▷ The system must be initialised after the tyre
inflation pressure is adjusted to a new value.
Status display

Initialisation required
An initialisation must be performed in the
following situations:
▷ After adjusting the tyre inflation pressure.
▷ After tyre/wheel change.
Initialisation
Initialisation saves the set tyre inflation pressures
as reference values for subsequent detection of
a flat tyre. Initialisation is started by confirming
the correct tyre inflation pressures.
Do not initialise the system if driving with snow
chains fitted.
