Although the basic system operation and function remain the same, changes have been made to the vehicle’s
display elements when a low tire pressure condition occurs.
The following points apply to vehicles produced during the period listed above:

The Tire Pressure Monitor System continues to meet all federal requirements.

When a low tire pressure condition is detected, a general system warning is issued. The warning will be
displayed in the instrument cluster (KOMBI) and/or Control Display, depending on the vehicle’s equipment
level (refer to the attachment).

When a driver is alerted to a low pressure condition, all four tires should be inspected for damage and
proper inflation.
The system components, wheel electronics and central antennae/module are fully compatible with current
replacement parts.
This functional change represents a running production change and is not a defect in materials or
workmanship.
Any further changes to the system function or components will be communicated in a future bulletin.
It is imperative that all service personnel be familiar with these changes.
WARRANTY INFORMATION
Not applicable.
