valves.
- The under-inflation detection option is possible only on vehicles equipped with aluminium rims.
Composition :
- Four HFtransmitter modules(4)incorporated in the wheels in place of the valves, each including a lithium
battery with 10 yearsguaranteed life.
- AHF receiver incorporated in the communication module under the steering wheel (COM 2000).
- The tightening torque for the nut (5) is 0.6 ± 0.1 m.daN.
WARNING :
- Each time a tyre is replaced, the valve (6) must be replaced.
- Each time a rim is replaced, the seal (7) must be replaced.
- Each time a valve is replaced, it is necessary to have the transmitter recognised by the BSI, with
the aid of a diagnostic tool.
