Limitations of tyre pressure monitoring

There are some circumstances in which the tyre pressure monitoring may not function correctly. Be sure to familiarise yourself with them to understand the system's limitations.
Tyre pressure monitoring can be negatively affected by:
  • incompatible rims or tyres
  • wheel modifications
  • injected liquids such as tyre sealing fluid
  • snow chains
  • accessories that interfere with the system's wireless transmission or the car's electrical system
  • staying close to sources of strong radio waves or electrical fields. A few examples of locations that may cause this type of interference are petrol stations, airports and TV stations.

If the car detects a fault with the system, it is indicated in the display.
