36 11 503 Resetting RDC (Tyre Pressure Control)

NOTE: RDC monitors the tire inflation pressure in the four wheels.

Each tire incorporates an electronic wheel circuit, which constantly monitors the tire inflation pressure.

The system signals when the inflation pressure drops in one or more tires.

Resetting must be carried out in each case immediately after tire pressures have been corrected, after tires/wheels have been replaced and after repairs to the air spring system.
