System limitations
When driving with snow chains,
do not initialize the system.<

vide you with advance warning of
sudden and severe tire damage caused
by external factors and does not detect

On the other hand, the following situa-
tions can lead to a delayed detection of
pressure loss and even to the system
not functioning:
