Any unauthorized modification to this device could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. i The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) is equipped with a combination low tire pressure/TPMS malfunction telltale in the instrument cluster ( page 26). Depending on how the telltale illuminates, it indicates a low tire pressure condition or a malfunction in the TPMS system itself: If the telltale illuminates continuously, one or more of your tires is significantly underinflated. There is no malfunction in the TPMS. If the telltale flashes for 60 seconds and then stays illuminated, the TPMS system itself is not operating properly. After a certain "learning phase", the Run Flat Indicator checks the set pressure values for all four tires. If you wish to cancel activation: Press button ç. or Wait until the message Restart Run Flat Indicator? disappears. The TPMS only functions on wheels that are equipped with the proper electronic sensors. It monitors the tire inflation pressure, as selected by the driver, in all four tires. A warning is issued to alert you to a decrease in pressure in one or more of the tires. 376
