– Use fastening straps that are approved for the corresponding rim size (see Chapter "6.1.3 The
internal sensor (SMS)", page 30).
– Do not apply compressed air, assembly paste, detergents or other cleaners to the internal sensor.
– Never clean the rim with high pressure when the tires are removed and the internal sensor still
installed.
– Remove contaminations only with a clean, lint-free cloth.
– Renew the internal sensor if you have identied the following:
 The housing is visibly damaged.
 Foreign bodies can be seen in the pressure opening.
 The battery of the internal sensor has reached the end of its life.

1. Read Chapter "6.1.3 The internal sensor (SMS)", page 30.
2. Jack up the vehicle at the corresponding wheel positions.
