Driving in special conditionsIn certain driving conditions, such as,
for example: driving around a bend (see
fig. 63) / small vehicles and/or vehicles
not aligned with the driving lane (see fig.
64) / lane change by other vehicles
(see fig. 65) the system operation might
be unexpected or delayed. Pay the
utmost attention, keeping control of the
vehicle to drive in complete safety.
iTPMS (indirect Tyre
Pressure Monitoring
System)(for versions/markets, where provided)
44) 45) 46) 47) 48) 49)
The iTPMS can monitor the tyre inflation
status through the wheel speed
sensors. The system warns the driver if
one or more tyres are flat by switching
on the warning light
on the
instrument panel and a warning
message on the display, along with an
acoustic signal.
If one tyre only is flat, the system can
indicate its position: it is in any case
recommended to check the pressure
on all four tyres.
This indication is displayed also when
turning the engine off and on again until
the "Reset" procedure is carried out.
"Reset" procedureThe iTPMS needs an initial "self-
learning" phase (with length depending
on the driving style and road conditions:
optimal conditions being driven on a
straight road at 80 km/h for at least 20
minutes) which starts when the "Reset"
procedure is carried out.
The "Reset" procedure must be carried
out:
❒each time tyre pressure is modified;
❒when even only one tyre is changed;
❒when tyres are rotated/inverted;
❒when the space-saver wheel is fitted.
Before carrying out the "Reset"
procedure, inflate the tyres to the rated
pressure values specified in the inflation
pressure table (see the "Wheels"
paragraph in the "Technical
specifications" chapter).
If the "Reset" procedure is not carried
out, in all above cases, the
warning
light may give false indications on
one or more tyres.
To carry out the "Reset" procedure,
with the vehicle stopped and the
ignition device at MAR, use the Setup
Menu as follows:
❒briefly press the
button: the
display will show "Reset";
❒press the
button or the
button to select ("Yes" or "No");
