Tyre pr essure monitoring system 3
The tyre pressure monitoring system
continually checks the pressure of all four
wheels while driving.
A pressure sensor is integrated in each
wheel. Once a minute, the pressure of each
tyre is sent to a control unit, where it is
compared. If the system detects one or
more pressure differences, a message
appears on the information display.
Current tyre pressures can be shown in the
inform ation display.
For the system to be operational, all wheels
must be equipped with pressure sensors
and all tyres must be filled to the
prescribed pressure. The tyre pressure
monitoring system automatically detects if
the vehicle is being driven with a load of up
to 3 persons or a full load.
Once the ignition is switched on, the sy ste m
is operational and w ill continuously
monitor the tyre pressures at speeds of
approx. 25 m ph (40 km/h) and above.
