Tire Pressure Monitoring System, Performing Basic Setting
Perform the basic setting on the Tire Pressure Monitoring System -- only "after" the tire pressures have been adjusted to the correct values.
If no pressure loss and no tire damage is detected after a tire pressure warning, the erroneous warning can be eliminated by a basic setting.
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System -- compares the speed and the tire tread circumference on each wheel using the ABS speed sensors. The tire pressure monitoring system shows when there is a difference in the tire tread circumference on a wheel. The tire tread circumference changes when:
- The tire pressure is too low.
- Tires have structural damage.
- Vehicle is loaded on one side.
- Wheels of one axle are loaded higher, for example, when towing trailer or driving uphill and downhill.
- Snow chains are installed.
- Spare wheel is installed.
- One wheel per axle was replaced.
The yellow Tire Pressure Monitoring Display Indicator Lamp -- is inside the instrument cluster -arrow-.
- "BLINKING LIGHT" means that no "INITIAL BASIC SETTING" was performed yet.
- "STEADY LIGHT" with a warning tone means "WARNING", a loss of pressure was detected; check tire pressures and perform a system basic setting.
Performing the Basic Setting:
-- Switch on the ignition.
-- Press and hold the adjustment button SET until the operating tone sounds.
-- The adjustment button SET must be held for at least 2 seconds but no more than 30 seconds.
On next new ignition start, warning does not appear.
