Tire Pressure Monitoring Display, Perform The Basic Setting: Notes
The TPMS with autolocation (direct monitoring) calibrates itself while the vehicle is being driven to the tire pressures filled by the driver.
It is no longer necessary to perform a basic setting on the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS).
Applies only to tire pressure monitoring system with PR number 7K6 (indirect measuring).
Through MY 2011: Through MY 2011: .
From MY 2012: From MY 2012: .
Perform the basic setting on the Tire Pressure Monitoring System Display -- 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 Display -- compares the speed and the rolling circumference on each wheel using the ABS sensors. The tire pressure monitoring system display shows when there is a difference in the rolling circumference on a wheel. The rolling 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.
