Initialization Method
Proceed as follows:
1. Park the car in a safe place and firmly
a
pply the parking brake.
2. Be sure the tires are cool, then adjust the
t
ire pressure of all four (4) tires to the
specified pressure indicated on the tire
placard label located on the driver's door
frame (door open).
3. Place the ignition in the ON mode.
4
. While the vehicle is parked, press and
h
old the TPMS system set switch and
verify that the warning light in the
instrument cluster flashes twice and a
b
e
ep sound is heard once.
TPMS Set Switch
NOTE:
If the system initialization is performed
without adjusting the tire pressure, the
system cannot detect the normal tire pres
-
sure and it may not illuminate the
warning light even if a tire pressure is low,
or it may illuminate the light even if the
pressures are normal.
Adjust the tire pressure on all four tires
and initialize the system when the
warning light is turned on. If the warning
light turns on for a reason other than a flat
tire, the tire pressure of all four tires may
have decreased naturally.
The system initialization will not be
performed if the switch is pressed while
the vehicle is being driven.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System — Abarth
The TPMS monitors the pressure for each
ti
re.
If tire pressure is too low in one or more tires,
th
e system will inform the driver via the
warning light in the instrument cluster and
by the warning beep sound.
The tire pressure sensors installed on each
wh
eel send tire pressure data by radio signal
to the receiver unit in the vehicle.
TPMS does not alleviate your need to check
th
e pressure and condition of all four tires
regularly.
Each tire, including the spare (if equipped),
sh
ould be checked monthly when cold and
inflated to the inflation pressure recom
-
mended by the vehicle manufacturer on the
ve
hicle placard or tire inflation pressure
label. (If your vehicle has tires of a different
size than the size indicated on the vehicle
placard or tire inflation pressure label, you
should determine the proper tire inflation
pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has
be
en equipped with a Tire Pressure Moni-
toring System (TPMS) that illuminates a low
t
i
re pressure telltale when one or more of
your tires is significantly under-inflated.
Accordingly, when the low tire pressure tell
-
tale illuminates, you should stop and check
yo
ur tires as soon as possible, and inflate
them to the proper pressure. Driving on a
significantly under-inflated tire causes the
tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure.
Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency
