WARNING
68) The TPMS is optimised for the original
tyres and wheels provided. TPMS
pressures and alerts have been defined
according to the size of the tyres mounted
on the vehicle. Using equipment with
different size, type or kind may cause
irregular system operation or sensor
damage. Non-original spare wheels can
damage the sensor. Do not use tyre
sealant or balancing weights if the vehicle
is equipped with TPMS as these may
damage the sensors.
69) If the system signals a pressure
decrease on a specific tyre, it is
recommended to check the pressure on all
four tyres.
70) The TPMS does not relieve the driver
from the obligation to check the tyre
pressure every month; it is not even to be
considered a replacing system for
maintenance or a safety system.
71) Tyre pressure must be checked with
tyres cold. Should it become necessary for
whatever reason to check pressure with
warm tyres, do not reduce pressure even
though it is higher than the prescribed
value, but repeat the check when tyres are
cold.
72) The TPMS cannot indicate sudden tyre
pressure drops (for example when a tyre
bursts). In this case, stop the vehicle,
braking with caution and avoiding abrupt
steering.
73) The system only warns that the tyre
pressure is low: it is not able to inflate
them.
74) Insufficient tyre inflation increases fuel
consumption, reduces the tread duration
and may affect your ability to drive the
vehicle safely.
75) Always refit the valve stem cap after
inspecting or adjusting tyre pressure. This
prevents dampness or dirt from entering
the valve stem and thus the pressure
control sensor from being damaged.
76) The tyre repair kit (Fix&Go) provided
with the vehicle (for versions/markets,
where provided) is compatible with the
TPMS sensors; using sealants not
equivalent with that in the original kit may
adversely affect its operation. If sealants
not equivalent with the original one are
used, it is recommended to have the
TPMS sensors checked by a qualified
repair centre.
