ja TPMS indicator light
j b TPMS tyre location indicator
j A Tyre valve with sensor
The tyre pressure monitoring system monitors the
tyre pressure of the four wheels while the vehicle is
in motion. Following aloss in pressure, the system
will warn the driver using avisual warning. Each TPMS sensor
jAh asaregistered wheel location
and sends pressure and temperature data via radio
to ar eceiver inside the vehicle.
Each tyre, including the spare (where fitted), should
be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the
inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle
manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tyre inflation
pressure label. (If your vehicle has tyres of adiffer-
ent size than the size indicated on the vehicle plac-
ard or tyre inflation pressure label, you should deter-
mine the proper tyre inflation pressure for those
tyres.)
The Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) con-
trols the TPMS indicator light j
a, which will illumi-
nate when one or more tyres are significantly under-
inflated. Awarning and tyre location indicator
j bw ill also appear in the vehicle information display
to identify the tyre or tyres with low pressure.
If you now press the switch on the steer-
ing wheel, afurther screen is displayed to tell you
the tyre pressure of all four tyres. NIC2222

j B Tyre pressure units
j C Front target pressure
j D Rear target pressure
If you are using your vehicle in aheavily laden condi-
tion, the tyre pressures should be inflated to the
‘Laden Pressure’ shown on the tyre placard.
The TPMS system can be adjusted in the vehicle
information display to set the target pressure to the
‘Laden Pressure’ shown on the tyre placard. See “Vehicle information display” in the “2. Instruments
and controls” section. To adjust the target pressure
use the steering wheel switches to select the [Set-
tings] menu, followed by [Tyre Pressures]. Select
[Target front] and [Target rear] and set the desired
tyre pressure.
The TPMS target pressures will be displayed in the centre of the front and rear axle on the TPMS screen
of the vehicle information display.
TYRE PRESSURE UNITS
The units displayed by the TPMS system can be
selected using the vehicle information display. Se-
lect the [Settings] menu, followed by [Tyre Pres-
sures]. Select [Tyre pressure unit] and choose the
unit that you want.
[CHECK COLD TYRE] MESSAGE
If the tyre pressure becomes higher than the target
pressure during alow tyre pressure condition, the
[Check Cold Tyre] message will be displayed in the vehicle information display (see “Vehicle information
display” in the “2. Instruments and controls” sec-
tion).
NOTE
Even if the pressure is above the preset target
pressure, the yellow colour in the tyre pressure
warning means that the tyre pressure is actually
too low. Tyre pressure is increasing during driv-
ing. Check the tyre pressure when the tyre is
cold.
TPMS TEMPERATURE CALIBRATION
The tyre pressure is affected by the temperature of
the tyre; the tyre temperature increases when the
car is driven. To be able to accurately monitor the
tyre air leakage and to prevent false TPMS warnings
due to reductions in temperature, the TPMS system
uses temperature sensors in the tyres to perform
temperature compensation calculations.
On rare occasions it may be necessary to recalibrate
the TPMS system reference temperature using the
vehicle information display. See “Vehicle informa-
tion display” in the “2. Instruments and controls”
section. This operation should only be performed
when the actual tyre pressure has been adjusted,
whilst the current ambient temperature is signifi-
cantly different to the current calibration tempera-
ture. NIC2227
