~1min read

The Flat Tire Monitor cannot warn of sudden severe tire damage caused by external influences. It also does not respond to a natural, uniform pressure loss in all four tires.◄

In the following situations, the system may respond late or incorrectly:

► if the system has not been initialized;
► when driving on snowy or slippery roads;
► during sporty driving: with drive wheel spin, high lateral acceleration;
► when driving with snow chains.

The Flat Tire Monitor does not function when driving on a compact spare tire.
