Tyre pressure button?

Post by pvr » Sat Jan 19, 2013 4:24 pm

After I added air to the winter tyres, I was looking for the tyre pressure button to reset it. Could not find it, is it not there?

Could well be, never thought of that one.

What happens with a flat tyre  - guess you get something on the nav screen?

You get a red tyre symbol in the control display on the dashboard and a warning on the main screen
