Description And Operation: Overview: Tires
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Jaguar XE and 2017 Jaguar XE. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
Take care when you remove and refit tires to ensure that the tire pressure sensor is not damaged.
NOTE:
- You must service the TPMS valve using the appropriate service kit, each time you dismount the tire, to ensure an air tight seal. Follow the instructions about using this kit.
- If the metal valve stem is damaged, you can replace it independently of the tire pressure sensor as it is a separate component so you do not need to replace the entire sensor assembly.
| ITEM | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|
| 1 | Tire valve and pressure sensor |
| 2 | Tire fitting/removal tool start position |
| 3 | High tire and bead tension area |
| 4 | Low tire and bead tension area |
When you remove the tire, you must not use the bead breaker within 90 degrees of the tire valve in each direction.
When you use the tire removal machine, you must position the fitting arm at the start position as shown in the tire changing illustration. You can then rotate the wheel through 180 degrees in a counterclockwise direction. This relieves the high tension from the tire bead and allows you to manually pull the remaining 180 degrees of the tire from the rim.
When you refit the tire, position the fitting arm as shown. Rotate the tire and take care that the bead on the low tension side of the tire does not damage the sensor.
