WARNING
If you fitunsui table accessorie sonto tire

malfu nction, whichcancause tirepressu re
loss. Duetotheir desig n,retrofitted tirepres-
sure monitors keepthetire valve open. This
can also resul tin tire pressu reloss. There isa
risk ofan accident.
Only screw thestandard valvecaporother

Use asuita blepressu regau getocheck thetire

not permit anyrelia bleconclusion aboutthe tire

can bechecked inthe on-board computer. The
tiretemperature andpressu reincrease
when thevehicle isin motion. Thisisdepende nt
on the driving speedandtheload .
Therefore, youshoul donly correct tirepres-

The tires arecold:
R ifthe vehicle hasbeen parked withthetires
out ofdirect sunlightfor atlea stthree hours

R ifthe vehicle hasbeen driven lessthan 1mile
(1.6 km)
The tiretemperature changesdependingon the
outsid etemperature ,the vehicle speedandthe
tire load .If the tire temperature changesby
18 ‡(10 †), thetire pressu rechanges by
appro ximately 10kPa (0.1 bar/ 1.5psi).Take
this into account whenchecking thepressu reof
