Flat Tire Monitor FTM*
The concept
The Flat Tire Monitor detects pressure loss in a
tire by comparing the rotating speeds of the
individual tires while moving.
In the event of pressure loss, the rolling circum-
ference changes and, thus, the rotating speed
of the affected wheel. This change is detected
and is reported as a flat tire.

Press the controller to open the menu.
Select "Settings" and press the controller.
Select "Vehicle / Tires" and press the con-
troller.
Functional requirement
In order to assure the reliable reporting of a flat
tire, the system must be initialized for the cor-
rect tire inflation pressure.
5.
If necessary, move the highlight marker to
the uppermost field. Turn the controller
until "FTM" is selected and press the con-
troller.
The system must be reinitialized each
time a tire inflation pressure has been cor-
rected or a wheel or tire has been changed.<
System limitations
The Flat Tire Monitor is unable to warn
the driver of sudden, severe tire damage
caused by external factors, nor can it identify
the gradual loss of pressure that will inevitably
occur in all four tires over a lengthy period of
time.<

8.
Start the engine, but do not start driving.
Select "Reset" and press the controller.
Select "Yes" and press the controller.
In the following situations, the system could be
delayed or malfunction:
>
>
>
System has not been initialized
Driving on snowy or slippery road surface
Performance-oriented style of driving: slip
in the drive wheels, high lateral acceleration
>
Snow chains are attached
Initializing the system
The initialization is completed during driv-
ing, which can be interrupted at any time.
When driving resumes, the initialization is con-
tinued automatically.
9.
Start to drive.
Do not initialize the system while snow chains
are attached.<
Initialization is completed while the car is on
the move, without any feedback.
