Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

TPMS monitors the tyre pressure through a radio wave and sensing technique. TPMS sensors can monitor the pressure of vehicle’s tyre and send it to a receiver in the vehicle. You can view the tyre pressure via the instrument interface. TPMS can alert you of a low tyre pressure, but it cannot replace normal tyre maintenance. For tyre maintenance, please refer to “Tyre” in the “Maintenance” section.

If the TPMS malfunction indicator lamp illuminates, and the warning message “XX Tyre Pressure Low” is displayed, please stop the car as soon as possible, check the tyre pressure and inflate the tyre to the recommended pressure value. The tyre pressure label attached to the B pillar indicates the standard pressure value required by your vehicle tyres when they are cold. Driving with under-inflated tyres may cause the tyre to overheat and become faulty. In addition, under-inflated tyres wear out more rapidly and also have a detrimental effect on the car’s handling characteristics and brake performance which, in turn, increases power consumption. TPMS Self Learning When replacing the tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) sensors or receivers, or performing a tyre rotation, TPMS self-learning is necessary. Some vehicles can execute this self-learning process as follows:

1. Vehicle is left locked for 25 minutes after being de-energized.
2. Vehicle is driven at speeds exceeding 25mph(40 km/h) for a continuous duration of 15 minutes, navigating through multiple curves during the journey.

If you have any questions regarding the self-learning process, please consult an Authorised Repairer.
