The system does not function properly if it has
not been reset, e.g., a flat tire is reported
despite correct tire inflation pressures.
Status display
The system is inactive and cannot display a flat
tire if a wheel has been mounted without TPM
electronics, e.g., a compact wheel, or if TPM is
temporarily interfered with by other systems or
devices which use the same radio frequency.
The current status of the Flat Tire Monitor can
be displayed on the Control Display, e.g.,
whether or not the FTM is active.

Status display on Control Display
The tire and system status is indicated by the

changes during driving into account. A correc-
tion is only required if requested by TPM with
the color.

The concept

four mounted tires. The system reports when
the tire inflation pressure has dropped consid-
erably in one or several tires.
All wheels are yellow
Flat tire or a major drop in inflation pressure in
several tires. A message appears on the Control
Display.
Functional requirement
Gray
In order to assure the reliable reporting of a flat
tire, the system must be reset at the correct tire
inflation pressure.
The system cannot detect a flat tire.
Reasons for this can be:
>
TPM is being reset
Always use wheels with TPM electronics, oth-
erwise fault-free operation of the system is not >
ensured.
Temporary interference due to systems or
devices which use the same radio fre-
quency
Reset the system again after each correc-
tion of the tire inflation pressure and after >
Malfunction
every tire or wheel change.<
Resetting system
System limits
Reset the system again after each correc-
tion of the tire inflation pressure and after
every tire or wheel change.<
TPM cannot announce sudden serious tire
damage caused by external influences.
