System limits
Resetting system
TPM cannot announce sudden serious tire
damage caused by external influences.
Reset the system again after each correc-
tion of the tire inflation pressure and after
every tire or wheel change.<
The system does not function properly if it has
not been reset, e.g. a flat tire is reported despite
correct tire inflation pressures.
Resetting finishes during driving, which can be
interrupted at any time. When driving resumes,
resetting is continued automatically.
The system is inactive and cannot display a flat
tire if a wheel has been mounted without TPM
electronics, or if TPM is temporarily interfered
with by other systems or devices which use the
same radio frequency.
