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
color of the tires.
TPM takes the fact that the tire pressure
changes during driving into account. A correc-
tion is only required if requested by TPM with
the color.
Green
The tire pressure matches the learned set state.
"TPM active" is displayed on the Control Dis-
play.
The status is displayed.
One wheel is yellow
TPM Tire Pressure Monitor*
Flat tire or a major drop in inflation pressure in
the indicated tire. A message appears on the
Control Display.
The concept
TPM checks the tire inflation pressure in the
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.
Function requirements
Gray
In order to assure the reliable reporting of a flat
tire, the system must have been reset with the
correct tire inflation pressure.
The system cannot detect a flat tire.
Reasons for this can be:
Always use wheels with TPM electronics, oth-
erwise fault-free operation of the system is not
ensured.
>
>
TPM is being reset
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
every tire or wheel change.<
>
Malfunction
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 influ-
ences.<
Resetting finishes during driving, which can be
interrupted at any time. When driving resumes,
resetting is continued automatically.
The system does not function properly if it has
not been reset, e.g. a flat tire is reported despite
correct tire inflation pressures.
