Body Electronics: IKE: Initialization: Warnings

The following driving situations can cause a delayed warning of deflation:

• Hard Braking
• Hard Acceleration
• High Lateral Acceleration
• Tight Turning
• Driving Below a Minimum Speed
• High Slip Difference (on the same axle and/or on one side of the car)
• Incomplete Initialization

RDW can only detect differences in pressure between tires. Detection is not possible where two or more tires lose air at the same rate. Pressure losses resulting from natural diffusion affecting all four tires equally cannot be detected.

Blow-outs cannot be detected.

RDW can detect a pressure loss on an individual wheel of 30% ±10% of the pressure defined as the set point value at the time of initialization. This is generally the cold pressure recommended in the owners handbook.
