Installation
Preparing the installation
1. Read chapter "6.1.2 The internal sensor (WIS)", page 27.
2. Jack up the vehicle at the corresponding wheel positions.
3. Remove the wheel.
4. Use a suitable assembly device to remove the tire.
It is sufcient to pull the tire over the rime on one side; fee access to the drop-centre and valve is
all that is required.
5. Remove the original tire ination valve.
Installation of the internal sensor
1. Fit the suitable tire ination valve (Figure 1).
Observe the tightening torque specied for the rim and correct alignment of the valve.
Figure 1
2. After tting the valve, place the internal sensor on the inside of the rim on the valve head (Figure 2)
and secure with the screw (Figure 3). Note the following:
 The internal sensor must be aligned parallel to the rim (Figures 4 & 5).
 The sensor must make contact over the entire contact area of the valve; in addition it must be
supported at two other points on the rim (3-point assembly) (Figures 6 & 7).
 The tightening torque is 4 ±0,5 Nm (Figures 8 & 9). Always use a torque wrench for the exact
torque!
3. Fit the tire according to Chapter "7.5 Assembly of the tire", page 51.
Ö The installation of the internal sensor WIS is completed.
