Functional requirement
Gray
In order to assure the reliable reporting of a flat
tire, the system must have been reset with the
correct tire inflation pressure.
The system cannot detect a flat tire.
Reasons for this can be:
>
>
TPM is being reset
Always use wheels with TPM electronics, oth-
erwise fault-free operation of the system is not
ensured.
Temporary interference due to systems or
devices which use the same radio fre-
quency
Reset the system again after each correc-
tion of the tire inflation pressure and after
every tire or wheel change.<
>
Malfunction
Resetting system
Reset the system again after each correc-
tion of the tire inflation pressure and after
every tire or wheel change.<
System limits
TPM cannot announce sudden serious
tire damage caused by external influ-
ences.<
Resetting finishes during driving, which can be
interrupted at any time. When driving resumes,
resetting is continued automatically.
The system does not function properly if it has
not been reset, e.g. a flat tire is reported despite
correct tire inflation pressures.
iDrive, for operating principle refer to page 16.
