driving, and trigger a warning in the
event of a malfunction (speed greater

system is a driving aid which does
not take the place of
the
vigilance or
the responsibility of the driver.
This system does not remove the
need to have the tyre pressure
checked regularly (including the spare
wheel), to ensure that the dynamic
performance of the vehicle remains at
its best and to avoid premature wear
of the tyres, in particular in the case
of arduous driving (heavy load, high
s p e e d ) .
The system may temporarily be
disturbed by radio broadcasts on a
