Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) With AUTOLOCATION
NOTE:
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) specified within this information refers to the optional TPMS, which employs individual pressure sensors to determine individual tire pressures.
The base TPMS does not employ individual pressure sensors to determine individual tire pressures, but instead is an integral part of the Anti-lock Brake System (ABS). For more information on the ABS, refer to Description and Operation .
- The tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) has running changes that replace the current tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS).
- The system currently uses sensors in the tires to report the air pressure on the Tire Pressure Monitoring Control Module -J502-.
- With the function "Autolocation", the system can display the tire pressures and warnings in the correct positions in the instrument cluster after a shorter distance.
- The "intelligent antenna" is a combination of the tire pressure monitoring control module and a central reception antenna.
- It is not necessary to perform a manual adapting after replacing the wheel electronics or after changing tires. The tire pressure monitoring system automatically recognized the tire pressure sensors and adapts them as soon as the vehicle drives off.
