Mahindra XUV 500 - Tiretronics (if equipped)

12-8
© Copyright Mahindra and Mahindra Ltd.052016
The tyres fitted in this vehicle meet the requirements of BIS and
they comply with the requirements under the Central Motor
Vehicles Rules (CMVR) 1989.
12.6 Tiretronics (if equipped)
Tiretronics is an electronic system designed to monitor the air
pressure inside the pneumatic tyres. This system will alert the
driver if the tyre pressure falls below the low pressure or raises
above high pressure warning limit for any reason, including low
temperature effects and natural pressure loss through the tyre.
The Tiretronics will continue to alert the driver and will not turn off
until the tyre pressure is inflated to the recommended pressure.
12.6.1 Operation of Tiretronics
Tiretronics uses wireless technology with wheel rim mounted
electronic sensors to monitor tyre pressure levels. Sensors
mounted to the valve stem of each wheel, transmit tyre pressure
readings to the receiver module. Receiver module in turn will
communicate this information to the instrument cluster and
infotainment system. Tyre locations will display as OK, if all tyre
pressure and temperature are in the recommended range.
The Tiretronics has been customized only for the manufacturer’s
genuine tyres and wheels. Tiretronics pressure limits and warning
messages have been established for the tyre size equipped on your
vehicle.
Replacement of manufacturer’s parts with a different size, type or
style of components may damage the sensor and lead to incorrect
readings.
Do not use aftermarket tyre sealants or balance beads if your
vehicle is equipped with Tiretronics. Failure to comply may lead to
sensor damage.
The Tiretronics is not intended to replace normal tyre care and
maintenance or to provide warning of a tyre failure or condition.
The Tiretronics should not be used as a tyre pressure gauge while
adjusting vehicle tyre pressure.
Driving with under-inflated tyres cause the tyres to overheat and
may lead to tyre failure.
Under-inflated tyres reduce fuel efficiency, tyre tread life and may
affect the vehicle's maneuverability & braking ability.
The Tiretronics is not a substitute for tyre maintenance, it is the
driver's responsibility to maintain correct tyre pressure using an
accurate pressure gauge, even if under-inflation has not reached
the level to trigger illumination of the Tiretronics warning indicator.
