Tyre pressure monitor indicator
Fig. 215 Instrument panel: warning of loss of tyre
pressure.
The tyre pressure monitoring system com-
pares the individual speeds of each wheel
and thus the dynamic radius with the help of
the ABS sensors.
If the rolling circumference of one or more
wheels has changed, the tyre pressure moni-
toring indicator will indicate this on the in-
strument panel through a warning lamp and
a warning to the driver
one specific tyre is affected, its position with-
in the vehicle will be indicated.

The tyre structure is damaged.
●
The vehicle is unbalanced because of a

load.
The wheels on an axle are subject to a

heavier load (e.g. with a heavy load).
The vehicle is fitted with snow chains.

There may be a delay in the reaction of the
tyre pressure monitoring indicator
may not indicate anything under certain cir-
cumstances (e.g. sporty driving, snow-cov-
ered or unpaved roads, or when driving with
snow chains).
Calibrate the tyre pressure monitoring in-
dicator
After changing the tyre pressure or replacing
one or more wheels, the tyre pressure moni-
toring indicator must be recalibrated. Do the
same, for example, when the front and rear
wheels are swapped.
Switch the ignition on.
