be carried out in the dealer network or by
a

qualified workshop.
For more information on the 12 V batter y
,
refer to the corresponding section.Tyre under-inflation
d
etection

pressures of the tyres while driving.
The system monitors the pressure in all four
tyres, as soon as the vehicle is moving.
It compares the information given by the
wheel speed sensors with reference values,
which must be reinitialised after ever y tyre
pressure adjustment or wheel change .
The system triggers an alert as soon as it
detects a
drop in the pressure of one or more
tyres.
