2016 Abarth 500 TPMS reset

Low tyre pressure
The system warns the driver if one or
more tyres are flat by switching on
the
warning light on the instrument
panel.
The display will also show the following
information:
❒one or morethan one tyre flat: the
display will show “KO” beside the tyres
fig. 62 along with a warning message.
If the system does not recognise the
pressure value of one or more tyres, the
display will show dashes "– –"
This indication is displayed also when
turning the engine off and on again until
the RESET procedure is carried out.
RESET PROCEDURE
The iTPMS needs an initial "self-
learning" phase (with length depending
on the driving style and road conditions:
optimal conditions being driving 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:
❒whenever the 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
pressure values specified in the inflation
pressure table (see "Wheels" paragraph
in the "Technical specifications"
chapter).
If the RESET 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
key at MAR, use the setup menu (see
the description of the "Menu items"
paragraph).
At the end of the Reset procedure the
display will show the "Reset saved"
message, indicating that the self-
learning has been started.

Warning lights on
displayWhat it means What to do
amberiTPMS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
When the key is turned to MAR-ON, the warning
light switches on but it should switch off after a
few seconds.IMPORTANT Do not continue driving with one or
more flat tyres as handling may be compromised.
Stop the vehicle, avoiding sharp braking and
steering.
Low tyre pressure
The warning light switches to indicate that the
pressure of one or more tyres is lower than the
recommended value, in order to guarantee long
tyre life and low fuel consumption, or to indicate a
slow loss of pressure.
In this way the iTPMS warns the driver that one or
more tyres may be flat and probably punctured.In this case it is advisable to restore the correct
pressure value (see the "Wheels" paragraph in the
"Technical specifications" section).
Once the normal operating conditions of the
vehicle are restored, carry out the Reset
procedure.
iTPMS failure/iTPMS temporarily deactivated
The warning light flashes for about 75 seconds
and then stays on constantly (together with a
message on the display) (see “Operating
conditions” paragraph) to indicate that the system
is temporarily deactivated or faulty.
The system goes back to normal operation when
the operating conditions allow it. If this is not the
case, carry out the Reset procedure after
restoring the normal operating conditions.If the malfunction warning persists, contact an
Abarth Dealership as soon as possible.
