Start the engine, but do not start driving.
The Flat Tire Monitor detects a pressure loss in
one tire by comparing the speeds of the individ-
ual wheels during driving.
Press the button for approx. 5 seconds.
After the button is released, the warning
lamp lights up in yellow for several sec-
onds in the instrument cluster, refer to
Indication of a flat tire. The message "Initial-
izing FTM ..." appears on the Control Dis-
play for a few seconds.
In the event of a pressure loss, there is a change
in the rolling circumference and therefore the
rotation speed of the corresponding wheel. The
system detects this change and reports it as a
flat tire.
Functional requirement
To ensure the reliable signaling of a flat tire, the
system must be initialized at the correct tire
inflation pressure.
The initialization must be repeated after
every correction of the tire inflation pres-
sure and after every tire or wheel change.<

Start to drive.
The initialization finishes during driving
without feedback.
System limits
The Flat Tire Monitor cannot indicate sudden
severe tire damage caused by outside factors
and does not detect a natural, even pressure
drop in all four tires.
