System Scope of Use and Warnings Tire Pressure Monitoring System, TPMS This system is a sensing device designed to measure and display tire operation and / or activate an alert to the driver when pressure and temperature irregularities are detected. It is the responsibility of the driver to react promptly and with discretion to alerts. Abnormal tire inflation pressure should be corrected at the earliest opportunity. Caution: the system is wireless RF product; therefore, it may not receive a signal due to the poor environment or incorrect operating or incorrect installation. When the system continually cannot receive any signal from any tire sensor more than 10 minutes since the system be switch on power for monitoring, the system will shown “ ” and turn on the RED abnormal tire LED light and alert sound. In this case, it may cause by a RF interference environment, a driver need to drive the vehicle and leave this place. If the display still cannot receive any correct signal from tire sensor, then, a driver need to find a nearby qualified tire maintain service for checking and maintain. It may cause by a tire sensor damages or battery power consumption. (Battery in normal condition can be used more than 8 year, but in abnormal condition, the tire sensor will continually send warning signal for driver, thus it wills consumption the battery quickly than normal prediction.) System Installation and Usage Use of the TPMS requires that qualified personnel according to the instructions here have properly installed it. This system is suitable for use on a passenger car, SUV and 4X4 tires, with up to maximum cold inflation pressure of 81 Psi (Guage) or 96psi (Absoulte), below instruction is Guage value mentioned. Reacting to Alerts When an alert or warning is received, reduce vehicle’s speed and proceed to a safe location to stop where the tire can be inspected and /or serviced. The low-pressure alert indicates that the air pressure has dropped to a selected minimum and a high-temperature alert indicates that the temperature of the tire content has surpassed the threshold value set. Use of Chemicals Temporary resealing or re-inflation products containing internal sealants or propellants in any tire assembly may adversely affect the operation of the sensor/transmitter.
