breviations: DSST, Euforia, RFT, ROF, RSC, SSR or ZP.
These abbreviations are located on the sidewall behind tire
designation of the respective tire manufacturer.
• Always note the instructions and danger warnings identified in

When cleaning disc wheel (rim), the tire pressure monitoring
sensor must not come into contact with water or be blown with
pressurized air.
