Tire pressure monitoring system (optional)
Tire pressure monitoring system (optional)
The vehicle is equipped with a system that monitors the tire pressure by means of special sensors that are secured inside the wheel rims, in position with the inflation valve. These sensors transmit a signal that is detected by the aerials fastened on the car body, behind the fenders, and connected to the ECU.
WARNING: The system can momentarily experience radio-electric interference emitted by devices using similar frequencies. The ECU processes this information and, via the CAN line, transmits a series of tire pressure data and system errors, if any, to the on-board instrument panel. The signal transmitted by the ECU activates some icons on the display.
The system is equipped with a specific wiring that connects the aerials, the control unit and the calibration button to the vehicle's electrical system.
The system warns the driver that there is a drop in tire pressure. This warning does
not exempt the driver from periodically checking the tires and from complying with the prescribed tire pressure levels. WARNING: The system stores the tire pressures as a reference rate, therefore tires must be inflated to the prescribed pressure.
System calibration After replacing or inflating one or more tires, the system must be calibrated once again. To calibrate the system keep button A,
located on the inside roof, pressed down for a time ranging between 4 and 10 seconds. The system takes a maximum of 20 minutes to complete the calibration procedure with the vehicle in motion. A green symbol will appear on the display together with the message "Calibration started". If the user recalls the information page showing the pressure levels of each tire, dashes “–.–” will be viewed in the place of the values.
