by a pressure gauge are higher than those
shown bythe on-board computer. In this case,
do not reduce the tyre pressure.

ARNING There is a risk of an accident if the tyre pressure monitoring system is malfunctioning
The tyre pressure monitoring system cannot issue a warning if there is pressure loss in one or more of the tyres.
