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.
System Installation and Usage
Use of the TPMS requires that it has been properly installed by qualified personnel according to the
instructions here.
This system is suitable for use in passenger car, SUV and 4X4 tires up to maximum cold inflation pressure of
500 kPa (or 73 psi).
Reacting to Alerts
When an alert or warning is received, reduce vehicle speed and proceed to a safe stop location 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 Chemical
Temporary resealing or re-inflation products containing internal sealants or propellants in any tire assembly
may adversely affect the operation of the Sensor/Transmitter.

3. GETTING STARTED
How it works
Pressure and temperature information are sent to the Receiver and displayed on the LCD display. When an
under-inflated or over-heated tire is detected, the Receiver will emit an audible warning and activate the
backlight to warn the driver. The alerts depend on threshold value set for pressure and temperature. Either the
factory or manual preset value can be selected.
Handling Alerts
When any of the tire is not within the threshold limits (e.g. under inflated or over heated, the following will
occur:
• An audible warning will be activated for a period of 10 seconds at an interval of 7 minutes.
• The backlight of the LCD display would be activated for 25 seconds at the first occurrence.
• The pressure value and/or temperature value on the display will blink at twice the normal rate. Likewise
for the affected tire icon.
The above will continue until the threshold returns to their corresponding preset value.
All TPMS unit comes with a factory-preset value of 160 kPa (23 psi) for the Low Pressure Alert and factory
preset value of 80ºC (176ºF) for theHigh Temperature Alert.

Table 5
The base of the drop center well of the wheel must be flat
and wide enough to allow the Sensor/Transmitter to
contact the rim over its complete width.
• Pass strap through Sensor/Transmitter. See Figure 3.
• Use the tire valve as a reference position (for
servicing). Position the Sensor/Transmitter in the
lowest area of the drop center well in front of the
valve. (See Figure 4 and Figure 5) The tire valve will
be the reference position of the sensor in order not to
damage the sensor when removing tire from the
wheel.
Caution: Ensure that the sensor is not in
contact with the valve.
• Attach the strap end to the clamp by advancing the
worm gear with a socket driver or screwdriver.
Tighten until secured.
• Cut-off any excess of the sensor clamp to
approximately one inch from worm gear with a cutter.
• Attach the corresponding color tag to the valve stem
by carefully twisting the tag onto the valve stem and
securing it with the valve cap. See Figure 6.
• Proceed to mount the tire onto the wheel.
• Ensure that the tires are properly re-balanced.
