Resetting the standard level

This should be done:

- when the standard tyre pressure

needs to be changed to adapt to

usage conditions (empty, carrying a

load, motorway driving, etc.);

- after swapping a wheel (however

this practice is not recommended);

- after changing a wheel.

It should always be done after checking

cold.

Operating principle

Each wheel has a sensor in the inflation

valve which periodically measures the

tyre pressure.

The system displays the current pres-

sures on the instrument panel 1 and

alerts the driver in the event of insuffi-

cient pressure.

If the vehicle is equipped with a nav-
