Driving and operation144
Tyre pressure monitoring system3
The tyre pressure monitoring system
continually checks the pressure of all four
wheels while driving.
A pressure sensor is integrated in each
wheel. Once a minute, the pressure of each
tyre is sent to a control unit, where it is
compared. If the system detects one or
more pressure differences, a message
appears on the information display.
Current tyre pressures can be shown in the
information display.
For the system to be operational, all wheels
must be equipped with pressure sensors
and all tyres must be filled to the
prescribed pressure. The tyre pressure
monitoring system automatically detects if
the vehicle is being driven with a load of up
to 3 persons or a full load.
Once the ignition is switched on, the system
is operational and will continuously
monitor the tyre pressures at speeds of
approx. 40 km/h (25 mph) and above. Tyre pressure – see pages 224.
Display of current tyre pressure
Select menu item Tyres from the Board
Computer menu.
The current pressure of each tyre is
displayed.
Warning messages
A message is given on the information
display to warn of inconsistent tyre
pressures. In some versions, the message is
displayed in abbreviated form.
For example, the following messages can
be displayed:
9 Warning
The tyre pressure monitoring system does
not replace manual checks with a
suitable gauge.
Check tyre pressures at least every
14 days and prior to any long journey:
the tyres should be checked when cold.
Don’t forget to check the spare. Ü Board Computer
