Warning!
Your vehicle has also be en equipped with a TPM
malfunction indicator to indicate when the system
is not operating properly.
The TPM malfunction indicator is combined with
the low tire pressure telltale.
When the system detects a malfunction, the tellta-
le will flash for approximately one minute and then
remain continuously illuminated. This sequence
will continue upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as
long as the malfunction exists.
When the malfunction indi cator is illuminated, the
system may not be able to detect or signal low tire
pressure as intended.
TPM malfuntions may occur for a variety of
reasons, including the installation of replacement
or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that
prevent the TPM from functioning properly.
Always check the TPM malfunction telltale after
replacing one or more tires or wheels on your
vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alter-
nate tires and wheels allow the TPM to continue to
function properly.
The warning light in the speedometer lights up:
– When a loss in pressure has been detected.
– When learning newly mounted wheels/wheel sensors, as long as the vehicle’s own wheels
have not yet been recognized. In the event of a defect in Tire Pressure Monitoring
or a temporary fault, the warning light in the
speedometer flashes for approx. one minute and
then remains continuously illuminated.
The tire pressure warning light in the instrument
panel goes out only when
the cause of the fault
has been rectified.
Partial monitoringMonitoring of the other wheels is continued if there
is a fault in one or two wheel transmitters.
– The tire pressure warning light lights up.
– The message “TPM partial monitoring” is displayed on the on-board computer.
– No tire pressures are displayed on the on- board computer for wheels with faulty wheel
transmitters.
No monitoringIn the event of faults the Tire Pressure Monitoring
cannot monitor the tire pressure.
The warning light in the speedometer flashes for
approx. one minute and then remains continuously
illuminated and a corresponding message
appears on the on-board computer.
Monitoring is not active when:
– the Tire Pressure Monitoring is faulty,
– wheel transmitters for the Tire Pressure Monitoring are missing,
– during the learning phase after the tire settings have been updated,
– after a wheel change without updating the tire settings,
– more than four wheel transmitters are detected,
– there is external interference by other radio sources, e.g. wireless headphones,
– tire temperatures are too high.
