Operation of tyre pressure monitoring system |
The tyre pressure monitoring system is operated via the steering column lever or the operating unit in the centre console. |
The system monitors the tyre inflation pressures that have been set by the operator and stored as reference values. |
–
| The inflation pressures must first be checked and corrected before being stored in the system. |
–
| Start by checking and correcting the inflation pressure of the tyres on the vehicle (including spare wheel) according to the figures listed on the sticker on the fuel filler flap. |
