TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM (TPMS)
!
WARNING:
• The TPMS is not a substitute for
manually checking tire pressures.
Tire pressures should be checked
regularly using an accurate
pressure gauge when cold. Failure
to properly maintain your tire
pressures could increase the risk of
tire failure, with consequential loss
of vehicle control and personal
injury.
• The TPMS cannot register damage
to a tire. Regularly check the
condition of your tires, especially if
the vehicle is driven off road.
Note:
1. Non-approved accessories may
interfere with the system. If this
occurs, TIRE PRESSURE SYSTEM
FAULT is displayed in the message
centre.
2. Tires may affect the performance of
the TPMS. Always replace tires in
accordance with recommendations,
see page 266.
Your vehicle may be equipped with a
TPMS which monitors pressure in each
tire (temporary use spare tires are not
fitted with sensors and are consequently
not monitored).
Wheels fitted with a TPMS can be easily
visually identified by the external metal
lock nut and valve 1. All Jaguar
non-TPMS wheels have a rubber valve
fitted 2.
TPMS operation
The TPMS monitors the pressure of the
tires via sensors located in each wheel
and a receiver located within the vehicle.
Communication between sensor and
receiver is via Radio Frequency (RF)
signals.
The tire pressure warning
comprises a yellow warning
telltale within the instrument
cluster and an associated message within
the message centre.
