multifunction display. A warning tone also

lights up in the instrument cluster.

If the wheel positions on the vehicle are

interchanged, the tire pressures may be

displayed for the wrong positions for a

short time. This is rectified after a few

minutes of driving, and the tire pressures

are displayed for the correct positions.

Restarting the tire pressure monitor

When you restart the tire pressure monitor,

all existing warning messages are deleted and

the warning lamps go out. The monitor uses

the currently set tire pressures as the

specified values for monitoring.

In most cases, the tire pressure monitor will

automatically detect the new reference

values, e.g. if you have:
