System initialisation
The system must be initialised after a
wheel/tyre change:
With the ignition switched on, press button
DDS approx. 4 seconds. Control indicator w
flashes 3 tim es. The system is operational
after driving a certain distance.
Only initialise the system if all tyres have
the prescribed pressure (check when tyres
are cold).
General information
The tyre pressure monitoring system does
not function when the emergency or a
spare wheel not fitted with a pressure
sensor is used, and the control indicator w
illuminates yellow. The tyre pressure dis-
play shows –.–. The tyre pressure is then
monitored by the deflation detection
system, see page 217.
If a complete set of wheels without tyre
pressure control system sensors is mounted
(e.g. four winter tyres), no error message
will be displayed. The tyre pressure
monitoring system is not operational. The
tyre pressure of a set of wheels without
sensors is m onitored by the defla tion
detection system – see page217.
Sensors for the tyre pressure monitoring
system can be fitted on request by a
workshop.
W hen manually ch ec king tyre pre ss ure with
a pressure gauge, screw the adapter onto
the valve. Tyre pressure – see page 337.
On each tyre change, the valve inserts and
sealing rings for the tyre pressure
monitoring system must be replaced by a
workshop.
The use of commercially available liquid
filled run-flat systems or repair kits can
impair the function of the system.
Vauxhall-approved systems can be used.
Radio transmitters (e.g. radio headphones,
walkie-talkies) operated in the area could
cause interference in the tyre pressure
monitoring system.
