Indicator lamp for the tyre monitoring system

First read and observe the introductory information and safety warnings

Lit up	Possible cause	Solution
	The tyre pressure of one tyre or several tyres has decreased considerably in comparison to the tyre pressure set by the driver, or the structure of the tyre is damaged. An acoustic warning is also given.	Do not drive on! Reduce speed immediately. Stop the vehicle as soon as possible and when safe to do so. Do not undertake any extreme steering or braking manoeuvres! Check all wheels and the tyre pressures. The damaged tyre should be replaced.
	System faulty. The indicator lamp lights up permanently. No warning signal is given.	If the tyre pressure is correct but the indicator lamp fails to go out after the ignition is switched off and back on again, and if it is not possible to synchronise the tyre monitoring system, please go to a qualified workshop. The system must be checked.

Several warning and indicator lamps will light up briefly as a functional check when the ignition is switched on. They will switch off after a few seconds.

Differing tyre pressures or tyre pressures that are too low can cause tyre failure, the loss of vehicle control, accidents, serious injury and death.

• If the indicator lamp lights up, stop the vehicle as soon as possible and check all the tyres.

• Different tyre pressures or tyre pressures that are too low can increase wear on the tyres, reduce vehicle stability and increase the braking distance.

• Differing tyre pressures or tyre pressures that are too low can cause sudden tyre failure and lead to a tyre burst and the loss of control over the vehicle.

• The driver is responsible for the correct tyre pressure of all tyres on the vehicle. The recommended tyre pressure can be found on the label .

• The tyre monitoring system cannot function correctly until all cold wheels have the correct tyre pressure.

• The use of incorrect tyre pressures can cause accidents and tyre damage. All tyres must always have the correct tyre pressure to suit the vehicle load.

• Always inflate all tyres to the correct tyre pressure before every journey.

• If driven with insufficient pressure, the tyre flexes more. This could warm up the tyre to such an extent that the tread may separate and the tyre could burst.

• High speeds and overloading of the vehicle may cause the tyres to heat up to such an extent that the tyre bursts, leading you to lose control of the vehicle.

• If the tyre pressure is too low or too high, the tyres will wear prematurely and the vehicle will not handle well.

• If the tyre is not flat and it is not necessary to change the wheel immediately, drive at low speed to the nearest qualified workshop and check and correct the tyre pressure.

Failure to observe illuminated warning lamps and text messages can lead to your vehicle breaking down in traffic, and can cause accident and serious injury.

• Never ignore any illuminated warning lamps or text messages.

• Stop the vehicle as soon as possible and when safe to do so.

NOTICE

Failure to observe illuminated indicator lamps and text messages can lead to your vehicle being damaged.

If the tyre pressure is too low and this is detected when the ignition is switched on, an acoustic warning is emitted. If a system fault is detected, no signal tone is given.

Driving on unpaved roads for long periods, or a sporty driving style, can temporarily deactivate the Tyre Pressure Loss Indicator. The indicator lamp shows the functional fault, but disappears if the road conditions or driving style change.
