Tire pressure monitor (TPM [RDK]) messages - GF40.15-P-0001-08LE

IMPORTANT The messages from the tire pressure monitor (TPM) system are displayed in the multifunction display (A1p13) of the instrument cluster (A1).

A distinction is made between the following:

The menu displays can be called up in the instrument cluster using the tire pressure monitor menu.

The warning messages appear automatically.

Depending on the warning message the tire pressure monitor warning lamp (A1e66) is also actuated.

Warning message 2 

In the preceding ignition sequence the tire pressure monitoring system has detected a slight pressure loss of p = 0.25 bar.

The tire air pressure correction due is referred to after terminal 15 Off.

IMPORTANT The warning is displayed without the position being specified.
