This symbol will appear in the
Check Control panel to inform you
when the inflation pressure varies
from that stored in the system. A text
message appears at the same time. Please
take note of the additional information in
the Control Display panel.
You can find more information on the
Check Control starting on page 80.
The RDC cannot alert you to severe
and sudden tire damage caused by
external factors.<
To initialize the system
1. With the vehicle parked, switch on the
ignition
2. Select "RDC" from the "Settings" menu
and confirm your selection. The initializa-
tion menu appears.
"INITIALIZE"
1. Select and confirm
2. RDC is initialized. A message appears in
the Check Control panel
3. After several minutes of driving RDC will
adopt the tires' current inflation pressures
as its references.
The current data appear in the Control
Display. These figures are more accurate
than those that appear on the inflation
gauges at filling stations, etc.
The only time you will need to repeat this
procedure is after correcting your tire pres-
sures. Because RDC automatically
assumes operation each time you switch
on the ignition, it is on duty whenever you
drive.
If the system detects a flat tire during
the initialization process, the tires in
the Control Display will appear in red.<
Do not start initialization
Select and confirm to return to the
"Settings" menu.
Status indicators in the Control
Display
The status of the system is indicated by the
color of the tires.
Green
Tire inflation pressures correspond to the
initialized level.
Yellow
The inflation pressures in the tires have
fallen to below the specified level, which is
normal in every tire after a certain amount
of time.
This alerts you to have the tires inflated to
the specified pressures as soon as
possible.
Red
Pressure loss in indicated tire.
If this occurs, reduce vehicle speed imme-
diately and stop the vehicle. Avoid hard
and sudden steering and braking maneu-
vers.
Black
The system is being initialized.
The system needs several minutes to
complete the initialization process, after
which it is ready to detect and report tire
problems.
