Range Rover Evoque - Tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS); TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)

TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM (TPMS)
TPMS provides a low pressure
warning and does not re-inflate
your tyres. Tyre pressures should
be checked regularly, using an
accurate pressure gauge when the
tyres are cold.
TPMS can NOT register damage
to a tyre. Regularly check the
condition of your tyres, especially
if the vehicle is driven off-road.
When inflating tyres, care should
be taken to avoid bending or
damaging the TPMS valves. Always
confirm the correct alignment of the
inflation head to the valve stem.
To avoid damage to TPMS valves,
it is recommended not to use rigid
tyre inflation wands. This is to avoid
the risk of excess leverage and
sideways pressure on the valve.
Note: Non-approved accessories may
interfere with the system. If this occurs,
TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING FAULT
is displayed in the Message centre.
Note: Different types of tyre may affect
TPMS performance. Always renew tyres
in accordance with recommendations.
TPMS constantly monitors the tyre
pressure in each wheel, including the full
size spare. Temporary use spare tyres are
not monitored. See 245, TEMPORARY-USE
SPARE WHEEL AND TYRE CHANGE.
Wheels fitted with a TPMS can be visually
identified by the external metal lock nut
and valve (1). All Land Rover non-TPMS
wheels have a rubber valve fitted (2).
Note: At each tyre change, a special
service kit is required for each TPMS valve.
Tyre pressures should be checked
regularly when the tyres are cold and
adjusted as necessary. The presence of a
TPMS does not remove the need to check
tyre pressures as part of a vehicle safety
check. See 237, TYRE PRESSURES.
The tyre pressure warning lamp illuminates
when one or more of the tyres are
significantly under-inflated, accompanied
with a message in the Message centre.
See 57, TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM (YELLOW). Stop and check the
tyres as soon as possible and inflate them
to the recommended pressure.
TPMS also monitors the full size spare tyre
pressure. If the pressure for the spare tyre
is incorrect, the message CHECK SPARE
TYRE PRESSURE is displayed,
accompanied by the illumination of the
warning lamp.
