Dynamic Stability Control DSC
Flat Tire Monitor

To reactivate the system
The concept
Press the button again; the indicator
lamp goes out.
As you drive, the Flat Tire Monitor
keeps track of pressure levels in all four
tires. The system alerts you whenever
the inflation pressure of a tire falls sig-
nificantly below the pressure of another
tire.
Controlling the tire pressure is based
on monitoring the rpm that the tires
have relative to each other. A flat tire is
detected and reported because the rpm
suddenly deviate drastically from one
another.
To deactivate the system
Press the button; the indicator lamp
comes on and stays on.

system for increased traction:

pressure table on page 25 and cor-
