FCC NOTICE
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that
may cause undesired operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B
digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy
and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures :
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and Receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which
the Receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/ TV technician for help.
Changes or modifications to this device without the express approval of SmarTire
Systems Inc. may void the user’s authority to use this device.
SMARTIRE SYSTEMS INC.
E U R O P E A N R E G U L AT I O N S
This device complies with all European Electromagnetic compatibility regulations
(95/54 /EC and EN300 220-1). The equipment has been tested and found to comply
with the above regulations, and in addition it meets the requirements for low
powered transmitters/receivers as defined by the relevant radio approval authority.
The regulations are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference or susceptibility. Changes made to this device without the express
approval of SmarTire Europe Ltd. may void the user’s authority to use this device.

The SmarTire System and Tire Maintenance
This system is a sensing device designed to identify and display tire operating data
and/or activate an alert or warning when pressure irregularities are detected. It is
the responsibility of the driver to react promptly and with discretion to alerts and
warnings. Abnormal tire inflation pressures should be corrected at the earliest
opportunity.
the tire can be inspected and serviced. The low pressure alert or warning indicates
that the air pressure has dropped to a selected minimum.
Use of Chemicals
Temporary resealing or reinflation products containing internal sealers or
propellants in any tire/wheel assembly may adversely affect the operation of the
Sensor/Transmitters.
Power Connection
If your Display is connected to an unkeyed cigarette lighter socket unplug it when
you park the vehicle for extended periods (more than three days) to avoid draining
the battery or triggering a false diagnostic alert.
System Installation and Usage
Use of the SmarTire system requires that it has been properly installed and
programmed by personnel according to SmarTire Systems Inc. documentation. This
includes the Owner’s Manual and any supplementary installation instructions
included with system components.
This system is suitable for use in passenger and light truck tires up to maximum
cold inflation pressure of 65 psi or 4.46 bar.
Reacting to Alerts
When an alert or warning condition is detected, reduce vehicle speed to an
appropriate safe level and proceed to a safe stopping location or facility where
Getting Started
RECEIVER
SMARTIRE SYSTEMS INC.
Congratulations! As the owner of this state-of-the-art wireless tire pressure
monitoring system, you will enjoy the improved convenience and benefits of having
tire pressure information automatically monitored while you are driving.
The SmarTire system consists of wheel mounted Sensor/Transmitters inside each
tire which measure contained air pressure and temperature and transmit this data
to a Receiver within view of the driver (the optional Full Function Display is
required to display pressure and temperature).

Having carried out the correct installation procedure (see Installation section in
this manual), the SmarTire system is ready to use.

Note: Each color on front indicator panel refers to a Transmitter with a

Transmitter during tire rotation.
Operation
Low pressure alert
A Low Pressure Alert (factory default
22 psi or 1.53 bar), is identified by an
audible alarm and a red illuminated light
for the affected tire.
Alert when parked
Parked : If the vehicle is parked, pressure
is measured every 20 minutes and data
transmitted if the pressure drops to 18 psi
(1.25 bar) or lower. If the Receiver is on, it
indicates this with a flashing red illuminated
light for the affected tire.
If your Receiver stays powered on when
the vehicle is parked, all the lights will
revert to amber within 40 minutes, except
the system light which remains green.
HOW IT WORKS
SMARTIRE SYSTEMS INC.
The system operates continuously, transmitting air pressure and temperature data,
• At approximately 5 minute intervals when the vehicle is moving faster than 6 mph
(10 kph), unless pressure changes, then data is transmitted within 7 seconds.
• Every 20 minutes when the vehicle is parked and pressure drops to 18 psi
(1.25 bar) or lower.
No data received
(amber lights flashing)
All data received
(system light green, all others off)
After the Receiver is turned on, the lights
flash red, green, then amber, waiting for
Transmitter data.
In Motion : When transmissions are
received amber tire lights turn off one at
a time and the system light turns green.
Low pressure warning
A Low Pressure Warning (factory default
18 psi or 1.25 bar), is identified by a
repeated audible alert and a flashing red
light, repeated every minute for the affected
tire. This continues until tire condition is
corrected after which the light turns off.
Installation
SMARTIRE SYSTEMS INC.
T R A N S M I T T E R I N S TA L L AT I O N
Caution : Qualified personnel must perform the following installation procedures
that highlight the steps required to ensure that the Transmitters are properly
installed and undamaged. It does not include any standard procedures normally
required in the process of replacing a tire (i.e. lubrication, proper inflation and
deflation procedures and any other procedures deemed necessary by the tire
manufacturer or dealer).
The equipment and images in this manual use one manufacturer’s tire changer
and may not apply to you.

socket driver. Tighten to 35 inch
pounds (4 N-m).
• Cut off excess strap length to approximately one inch (25 mm) from the
wormgear.

Attach the corresponding color of washer
on the valve stem as shown. (see Fig.4)
Some stiff side wall tires (such as “runflats”) require setting the Transmitter
between 3 o’clock and 6 o’clock. Start
the top bead in front of the mount
head assisting with the mounting bar
to prevent slippage.
FIG.4
Proceed to mount the tire on the wheel.
SMARTIRE SYSTEMS INC.
Note: Color washer must stay with the
corresponding color Transmitter during
installation and tire rotation.
To avoid damaging the Transmitter
during tire mounting, position the
wheel with the Transmitter located at
7 o’clock in relation to the mount head
at 12 o’clock.
Set the lubricated tire on the wheel
with its traction point 3 in. (75 mm)
before the Transmitter. Use the mount
head to guide the rest of the bottom
bead over the flange and onto the rim.
12
Inflate the tire to seat the bead, deflate
completely and then inflate the tire to
manufacturer’s recommended cold
inflation pressure. Balance the wheel.
MOUNTING TIRE WITH TRANSMITTER ON WHEEL
With the bottom bead in place, you will
be able to position the wheel with the
Transmitter at 7 o’clock for most tires.
Depress the bead into the drop centre so
that the traction point is 3 in. (75 mm)
before the Transmitter.
