Tyre pressure loss warning

WARNING
This function is an additional driving aid.
However, the function is not intended to replace the driver. It cannot, therefore, under any circumstances replace the vigilance or the responsibility of the driver.
Check the tyre pressures, including the emergency spare wheel, once a month.
This system detects a loss of pressure in one of the tyres by measuring the wheel speed while driving.

Operating principle

The warning light 1 appears continuously to warn the driver in the event of insufficient pressure (deflated wheel, punctured tyre, etc.).

Resetting the standard level for the tyre pressures

This should be performed:
  • when the standard tyre pressure needs to be changed to adapt to usage conditions (empty, carrying a load, motorway driving, etc.);
  • after swapping a wheel (however, this practice is not recommended);
  • after changing a wheel.
It should always be done after checking the tyre pressure of all four tyres when cold.
Tyre pressures must correspond to the current usage of the vehicle (empty, carrying a load, motorway driving, etc.).
Resetting procedure
With the ignition on, vehicle stationary:
  • repeatedly press button 3 or 4 to select the "Tyre pressure init. long press " on the display 2;
  • press and hold one of the buttons 3 or 4 (for approximately three seconds) to start initialisation. The "Learning Tyre Pressures " message confirms that the reset request for the tyre pressure reference value has been taken into account.
Reinitialisation is carried out after a few minutes' driving.
Note: the tyre pressure reference value cannot be less than that recommended and indicated on the door frame.

Display

WARNING
The warning light for your own safety, it requires you to stop immediately as soon as traffic conditions allow.
The display 2 on the instrument panel informs you of any tyre pressure faults (flat tyre, punctured tyre, etc.).
"Adjust Tyre Pressure "
The warning light appears continuously, accompanied by the "Adjust Tyre Pressure " message.
These indicate that at least one tyre is flat.
Check and, if necessary, readjust the pressures of the four wheels when cold.
The warning light switches off after a few minutes' driving.
Tip
The sudden loss of pressure in a tyre (burst tyre, etc.) cannot be detected by the system.
"Puncture "
The warning light appears continuously, accompanied by the "Puncture " and a beep.
This message appears along with the warning light .
They indicate that at least one wheel is punctured or severely underinflated. Replace it or contact an approved dealer if it is punctured. Top up the tyre pressure if the wheel is deflated.
"Check Tyre Pressure Sensors "
The warning light flashes for a few seconds then appears continuously, accompanied by the "Check Tyre Pressure Sensors " message.
This message appears along with the warning light .
They indicate that at least one tyre is not fitted with sensors (e.g. emergency spare wheel). Otherwise, consult an authorised dealer.

Readjustment of tyre pressures

The tyre pressures must be adjusted when cold (refer to the label located on the edge of the driver's door).
If tyre pressures cannot be checked when the tyres are cold, the recommended pressures should be increased by 0.2 to 0.3 bar (3 PSI).
Never deflate a hot tyre.

Replacing wheels/tyres

This system requires specific equipment (wheels, tyres, wheel rims, etc.) TYRES.
Contact an approved dealer to replace the tyres and to find out about accessories compatible with the system that are available from the brand's network: using any other accessory could affect the correct operation of the system.

Emergency spare wheel

If the vehicle is equipped with an emergency spare wheel, it will not have a sensor. When mounted on the vehicle, the warning light flashes for several seconds, then stays on, along with the warning light and the "Check Tyre Pressure Sensors " message on the instrument panel.

WARNING
Changing a wheel
The system may take several minutes depending on use for the new wheel pressures to be recognised; check the tyre pressures after all operations.
As the valves are specifically designed, only use equipment approved by the brand's network TYRE INFLATION KIT .
