Tyre pr essure monitoring system 3
The tyre pressure m onitoring 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 inform ation d isplay.
Current tyre pressures can be shown in the
inform ation d isplay .
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 d etec ts if
the vehicle is being driven with a load of up
to 3 persons or a full loa d.
Once the ignition is switched on, the sy stem
is operational and w ill continuously
monitor the tyre pressures at speeds of
approx. 25 m ph (40 km /h) and a bove.
