Wheels and tyres ● Never exceed the top speed and load permit- ted for the fitted tyres. Tyre monitoring system Different tyre pressure or too low tyre pressure may cause tyre failure, vehicle out of control, easy to cause casualties! WARNING Introduction This chapter contains information on the follow- ing subjects: ● Stop as soon as the light is on and check the condition of all tyres. → page 189 – Tyre Pressure Loss Indicator 184 – Troubleshooting for Tyre Pressure Loss Indicator 185 ● Different or low tyre pressure is bound to ag- gravate tyre wear, reduce vehicle stability, prolong the braking distance.
The tyre pressure monitoring system alerts the driver when the tyre pressure is too low. ● Tyres with different or lower air pressure can suddenly malfunction, causing the tyre to burst and the vehicle to lose control. ● The driver must ensure that the correct air pressure is maintained on all tyres. The tyre pressure plate lists the prescribed tyre pres- sure. → page 189 This vehicle is equipped with two different tyre pressure monitoring systems, the distinguishing characteristics are as follows: ● The tyre pressure monitoring system can function properly when all cold tyres main- tain correct pressure.
Indirect tyre pressure monitoring – Different parameters (especially rolling cir- cumference) of all wheels are monitored by ABS sensors (indirect measurement). ● All tyre pressure must be properly adjusted for vehicle load. → page 189 ● Make sure all tyres are charged to the correct air pressure before driving. → page 189 WARNING ● If the tyre pressure is too low, it is possible that the tyre temperature will increase to such an extent when driving that the tread peels off and the tyre bursts. The intelligent technology of tyre pressure monitoring system cannot exceed the specified limit, and can only work within the limits of the system.
Improper wheel and tyre handling can result in a sudden loss of tyre pressure, cracked tread, or even a blown tyre! ● Excessive speeds and overloading of the ve- hicle can cause overheating and sudden tyre damage including tyre bursts. ● Check the tyre pressure regularly and always maintain the specified pressure. → page 189 If the tyre pressure is too low, it is possible that the tyre temperature will increase to such an extent when driving that the tread peels off and the tyre bursts. ● Whether the tyre pressure is too high or too low, the tyres will wear prematurely and the car will not handle well.
● If the tyre is not flat and it is not necessary to change the wheel immediately, drive at low speed to the nearest correspondingly qualified workshop and have the tyre pres- sure checked and corrected. → page 189 ● The cold pressure of the tyre must conform to the value listed on the tyre pressure la- bel. → page 189 ● Check the tyre pressure regularly when the tyres are cold and adjust the tyre cold pres- sure according to the recommended tyre pressure of the vehicle you pur- chase. → page 189 ● Always adapt the Tyre Pressure Loss Indica- tor correctly. If the tyre pressure is too low, this will in- crease fuel consumption and tyre wear.
When new tyres are driven at high speeds for the first time, they can expand slightly and trigger a one-off tyre pressure warning. 182.5C1.TRO.74 ● Check the tyres regularly for damage and wear. Wheels and tyres 183
