Vehicles With On-Board Computer



Initialize the RPA in the following situations:
- If tire pressure is changed (tire pressure is corrected or reset)
- If the position of the tires is changed (change of axles, wheels), even if the tire pressure is not changed
- If a tire is changed or the wheels are interchanged (e.g. old tires for new tires, summer tires for winter tires, etc.)

Start initialization as follows:
- Terminal 15 ON (engine OFF or ON, do not pull away)
- In the on-board computer function select "RPA" and "INIT" (LC display) with the rocker switch on the turn-signal/main-beam switch. Press the BC button to confirm.
- Press and hold the BC button for approx. 5 seconds, until a box with a tick appears behind the "INIT" display.
- Drive off. The end of the initialization phase is not indicated.

Preconditions for activation
The flat tire indicator (RPA) is automatically activated when terminal 15 is switched ON. The RPA cannot be switched off manually.
