8.13 TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING (TPM)
8.13.1 Tyre Pressure Monitoring (TPM)
TPM monitors the actual tyre pressure
and tyre temperature of all fitted
wheels. If configured, the spare wheel
is also monitored.
Tyre information can be viewed on the
master display while scrolling trough
the 'Tyre information' menu.
If fitted with a similar system, tyre
information of one or more trailers is
also available on the master display.
WARNING! Driving with incorrect tyre pressure can lead to a longer
braking distance, unstable brake behaviour, unstable vehicle
behaviour and high tyre temperature. Tyre wear and the fuel
consumption will also increase. Ignoring incorrect tyre pressures and/
or temperatures can lead to very dangerous situations not only for the
driver but also for other road users. It can also lead to damage to the
vehicle.
– TPM does not release the driver from the need to visual inspect the
tyre pressure and condition regularly.
The TPM function automatically warns in case of tyre pressure or tyre temperature-
related problems. The warnings are triggered when measured values reach a
programmed limit (tyre temperature) or deviate too much from programmed reference
values (tyre pressure). Yellow or red TPM warnings can be displayed on the master
display.
As there is no safety risk, warnings are not displayed for the spare tyre.
A defective sensor also triggers a TPM warning.
NOTE: The recommended tyre pressure in the tables in the paragraph
'Tyres' can be used to set reference values.
