Tyre pressure monitor (TPM)
Tyre pressure monitor (TPM)
For detailed information on the tyre pressure monitor (TPM), refer to → No.347.
The tyre pressure monitor system includes wheel electronics mounted on each wheel.
At regular intervals, the wheel electronics transmit data which the central locking and anti-theft alarm system aerial receives and forwards to the tyre pressure monitor control unit -J502-.
This control unit is integrated with its own diagnostic address into the convenience system central control unit -J393-.
The tyre pressure specifications (monitoring air pressures) are set in the control unit as factory defaults.
The pressures, noted on the tank flap sticker, are valid for a set of wheels with the Volkswagen-approved tyres.
The nominal tyre pressures for this set of wheels are specified for the partially and fully laden vehicle and must not be changed.
   
The driver can switch between partial and full load, poll the status and switch the TPM system on or off via a SET button -2- in the centre console.
  Caution
This button is not available for the North American region (NAR). Therefore, the function described above is omitted in this region.
Messages and warnings are indicated via the lamp in the dash panel insert and texts in the dash panel insert display.
