Status display on Control Display
The tire and system status is indicated by the
color of the tires.
A change in the tire inflation pressure during
driving is taken into account.
A correction is only necessary if indicated by
the TPM.
Green
The tire inflation pressure corresponds to the
target value.
"TPM active" appears on the Control Display.
One wheel is yellow
A flat tire or major drop in inflation pressure in
the indicated tire.
All wheels are yellow
> A flat tire or major drop in inflation pressure
in several tires.
> The system was not reset after a wheel
change and thus issues a warning based on
the inflation pressures initialized last.
Gray
The system cannot detect a flat tire.
Reasons for this may be:
> TPM is being reset
> Interference due to systems or devices that
use the same radio frequency
> Malfunction
Resetting system
Reset the system again after each correction of
the tire inflation pressure and after every tire or
wheel change.
Resetting finishes during driving, which can be
interrupted at any time. When driving resumes,
resetting is continued automatically. Do not
