TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM
3
Readjustment of tyre pressures
The pressure of the four tyres must
be set when cold (refer to the label lo-
cated on the edge of the driver's door).
If the tyre pressures cannot be
checked when the tyres are cold, the
recommended pressures should be in-
creased by 0.2 to 0.3 bar (3 PSI).
Never deflate a hot tyre.
Emergency spare wheel
If the vehicle is equipped with an
emergency spare wheel, it will not
have a sensor.
This function is an addi-
tional driving aid.
The function does not
take the place of the dri-
ver. It cannot, therefore, under
any circumstances replace the
vigilance or the responsibility of
the driver. Check the tyre pres-
sures, including the emergency
spare wheel, once a month.
Replacing wheels/tyres
This system requires specific equip-
ment (wheels, tyres, wheel rims, etc.)
🡺292.
Contact an approved dealer to replace
the tyres and to find out about acces-
sories compatible with the system that
are available from the brand's network:
using any other accessory could affect
the correct operation of the system.
Changing a wheel
The system may take
several minutes depend-
ing on use for the new
wheel positions and pressures to
be recognised; check the tyre
pressures after all operations.
Tyre repair product and inflation
kit
Because the valves are specially de-
signed, only use equipment approved
by the approved network. Please see
the paragraph on 🡺295.
Tyre pressure faults
The table lists the warning messages
which appear on the instrument panel
1
when the system detects a tyre
pressure fault.
The information on the instrument
panel signals any potential tyre
pressure faults (e.g. deflated or
punctured tyre). For your own safety,
the warning light requires you
to stop immediately, as soon as traffic
conditions allow.
