driving on a straight road at 80 km/h for
at least 20 minutes) which starts when
the “Reset” procedure is carried out.
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.
Before carrying out the “Reset”
procedure, inflate the tyres to the rated
pressure values specified in the inflation
pressure table (see "Wheels" paragraph
in the "Technical specifications"
chapter).
If the Reset procedure is not carried
out, in all above cases, the warning
light may give false indications on one
or more tyres.
To carry out the “Reset” procedure,
with the vehicle stopped and the
ignition device at MAR, use the Setup
Menu as follows:
briefly press the button: the
display will show "Reset";
press button or to select
(“Yes” or “No”);
briefly press the button: the
display will show "Confirm";
press button or to select
("Yes" to reset or "No" to exit the video
page);
hold the button down again to
return to the standard screen or to the
main menu according to where you are
in the menu.
After the “Reset” the display will show
the "Reset saved" message, indicating
that the "self-learning" has been
started.
Operating conditions
The system is active for speeds above
15 km/h. In a few situations such as
sporty driving, particular conditions
of the road surface (e.g. icy, snowy,
unsurfaced roads...) the signalling may
be delayed or partial in detecting the
contemporary deflation of more than
one tyre. Under special conditions
(e.g. vehicle loaded asymmetrically on
one side, towing a trailer, damaged
or worn tyre, fitting the space-saver
wheel, use of the "Fix&Go Automatic"
kit, fitting snow chains, fitting different
tyres on the axles) the system may
give false indications or be temporarily
deactivated.
If the system is temporarily deactivated,
the warning light flashes for about
75 seconds and then is continuously
on; at the same time, the display
shows a dedicated message. This
warning is displayed also after the
engine has been switched off and
then on again if the correct operating
conditions are not restored.

WARNING
68)
If the system signals a pressure drop
on one or more tyres, it is recommended
to always check the pressure on all tyres.
69)
The iTPMS does not relieve the driver
from the obligation to check the tyre
pressure every month; the system does
not replace servicing or operate as a safety
system.
70)
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.
71)
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.
72)
The system only warns that the tyre
pressure is low: it is not able to inflate
them.
73)
Insufficient tyre inflation increases fuel
consumption, reduces the tread duration
and may affect the capacity to drive safely.
