Flat Tire Monitor
System limitations
When driving with snow chains,
do not initialize the system.<
The Flat Tire Monitor cannot pro-
vide you with advance warning of
sudden and severe tire damage caused
by external factors and does not detect

loss that takes place in all four tires
over an extended period of time.<
On the other hand, the following situa-
tions can lead to a delayed detection of
pressure loss and even to the system
not functioning:
Initializing the system

Driving on snow-covered or slippery
roads

Each time you correct the pres-
sure in a tire, or change a wheel or

When driving with snow chains, false
warnings and undetected pressure
losses may occur.

few seconds

Tire Monitor can detect a flat tire and
issue a warning.
