Fiat DUCATO 2023 - Itpms (Indirect Tyre Pressure Monitoring System)

ITALIANOENGLISH

iTPMS (indirect
Tyre Pressure
Monitoring System)
The vehicle can be equipped with
the iTPMS (indirect Tyre Pressure
Monitoring System) which monitors
the tyre inflation status by means of
wheel speed sensors.
Correct tyre pressure
If no under-inflated tyres are detected,
the outline of the vehicle will be shown
on the display.
Low tyre pressure The system warns
the driver if one or more tyres are flat
by turning on the
warning lamp 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.
IMPORTANT
25) If the iTPMS system signals a
pressure drop in the tyres, check the
pressure in all four tyres.
26) The iTPMS does not relieve the driver
from the obligation to check the tyre
pressure every month; it is not even to
be considered a replacement system for
maintenance or a safety system.
27) The tyre pressure must be checked
with cold tyres. 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.
28) The iTPMS 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.
29) The system only warns that the tyre
pressure is low: it is not able to inflate
them.
30) Insufficient tyre inflation increases fuel
consumption, reduces the tread duration
and may affect your ability to drive the
vehicle safely.
