Flat Tire Monitor FTM*
The "Normal" program offers control that is bal-

The concept
"Sport" program
The Flat Tire Monitor detects pressure loss in a
tire by comparing the rotating speeds of the
individual tires while moving.
Select the "Sport" program if you want consis-

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.
