Wheels and tyres
The tyre pressure control lamp
lights up
If
the ty
re pressure of a wheel is much lower
than the value set by the driver, then the tyre
pressure control lamp ›››
will light up.
WARNING
●
When the tyre pressure control lamp lights
up, reduce speed immediately and avoid any
sudden turning or braking manoeuvre. Stop
when possible, and check the tyre pressure
and status.
●
The driver is responsible for maintaining
correct tyre pressures. For this reason, tyre
pressure must be regularly checked.
●
Under certain circumstances (e.g. when
driving in a sporty manner, in winter condi-
tions or on a dirt track) the tyre control lamp
may light up belatedly or may function incor-
rectly.
Note
If the battery is disconnected, the yellow
warning lamp lights up after turning the
ignition on.
This should turn off after a brief
journey.

Refit the normal road wheel as soon as possi-
ble.
