2013 Alfa Romeo MiTo TPMS

Tyre pressure low(for versions/markets, where provided)
This warning light (or symbol on the display) switches on (on some
versions together with a message on the display) (together with an
acoustic signal) if the pressure in one or more tyres drops below a
preset threshold.
In this way the TPMS warns the driver that one or more tyres may be
dangerously flat and liable to puncture.
IMPORTANT Do not continue driving with one or more flat tyres as
handling may be compromised. Stop the car, avoiding sharp braking
and steering. Replace the wheel immediately with the space-saver
wheel (for versions/markets, where provided) or carry out an
immediate repair using the dedicated kit (see “Changing a wheel” in
the “In an emergency” section) and contact Alfa Romeo Authorised
Services as soon as possible.TPMS failure
This warning light (or symbol on the display) switches on (on some
versions together with a message on the display) when a TPMS fault is
detected.
In this case, contact Alfa Romeo Authorised Services as soon as
possible.
Should one or more wheels be fitted without sensors, the display will
show a warning message until initial conditions are restored.

❒sensor performance can also be influenced by the position of the
sensors. For example by a change in the ride setting (caused by
the wear of the shock absorbers, suspension), overloading the
vehicle and carrying out specific tuning operations that require the
vehicle to be lowered;
❒The detection of obstacles at the top part of the car may not be
guaranteed because the system detects obstacles that could cause an
impact with the car in the bottom part.
TPMS (Tyre Pressure
Monitoring System)(for versions/markets, where provided)
The car may be fitted with a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS),
which informs the driver of the tyre inflation status via the "Check
tyre pressure" and "Low tyre pressure" messages on the display.
This system comprises a radio frequency transmitter fitted to each
wheel (on the wheel rim inside the tyre), which is able to send
information on the tyre inflation pressure of each wheel to the control
unit.IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT
THE TPMSThe fault indications are not stored and will therefore not be displayed
after the engine has been switched off and then on again.
If the fault conditions persist, the control unit will send the relative
indications to the instrument panel only after the car has been in
motion for a short time.
The presence of the TPMS does not permit the driver to
neglect regular checks of the tyre pressure, including
for the spare wheel.Tyre pressure must be checked with tyres rested and
cold. Should it become necessary for whatever reason
to check pressure with warm tyres, do not reduce
pressure even though it is higher than the prescribed value, but
repeat the check when tyres are cold.

Should one or more wheels be fitted without sensors,
the system will no longer be available and a warning
message will be shown on the display, until 4 wheels
with sensors are fitted again.The TPMS cannot warn of sudden decreases in tyre
pressure (for example when a tyre bursts). In this case,
stop the car, braking with caution and avoiding
abrupt steering.Replacing standard tyres with winter tyres and vice
versa requires TPMS system adjustment that must only
be performed by Alfa Romeo Authorised Services.Variations in outside temperature may cause tyre
pressures to vary. The TPMS may temporarily indicate
insufficient pressure. In this case, check the tyre
pressure when cold and, if necessary, restore the inflation values.
When a tyre is removed, it is advisable to replace the
rubber valve seal as well: contact Alfa Romeo
Authorised Services. Tyre and rim fitting/removal
operations require specific precautions; to avoid damaging or
fitting the sensors incorrectly, tyre and wheel fitting/removal
operations should only be carried out by specialised staff.
Contact Alfa Romeo Authorised Services.Intense radio-frequency interference may prevent the
correct operation of the TPMS. This condition will be
indicated by a message on the display. The message
will disappear automatically as soon as the interference ceases to
affect the system.
