Dacia Striker
When fitted to the vehicle, this system notifies the driver if one or more tyres lose pressure.
The system can be identified by the 1 label in the vehicle.
Operating principle
This system detects a loss of pressure in one of the tyres by measuring the wheel speed while driving.
The warning light
2 comes on instrument panel to alert the driver in the event of insufficient pressure (tyre deflated, punctured etc.).
warning
This function is an additional driving aid.
The function does not take the place of the driver. It cannot, therefore, under any circumstances replace the vigilance or the responsibility of the driver.
Check the tyre pressures once a month.
Operating conditions
In order to provide a reliable warning in the event of significant pressure loss, the system must be reset with an tyre pressure equal to one of those shown on the tyre pressure label (reference values) Tyre pressure.
Resetting should always be carried out after checking the tyre pressure of all four tyres when cold.
In the following situations, the system risks coming into action late or not functioning correctly:
- system not reset after reinflation or any operation on the wheels;
- system incorrectly reset: tyre inflation pressure values different from the recommended pressure values;
tip
The tyre pressure must be checked before starting the resetting procedure.
The system will not issue a warning if the pressure does not correspond to the recommended pressure.
- significant change in load or distribution of load on one side of the vehicle;
- sporty driving with strong acceleration;
- driving on snowy or slippery surface;
- driving with snow chains;
- fitting a single new tyre;
- use of tyres not approved by the brand network.
tip
The sudden loss of pressure in a tyre (burst tyre, etc.) cannot be detected by the system.
Procedure for resetting the tyre pressure reference values
This should be performed:
- after each re-inflation or resetting of tyre pressure;
- after changing a wheel;
- after swapping wheels (this practice is not recommended).
Tyre pressures must correspond to the current usage of the vehicle (empty, carrying a load, motorway driving, etc.). Observe tyre pressures. Check them at least once a month and before a long journey (refer to the label on the edge of the driver’s door Tyre pressure).
Resetting procedure via the multimedia screen 3
The resetting procedure must be carried out while the vehicle is stationary and the ignition is switched on.
Please refer to the multimedia instructions for further information.
warning
For your own safety, the
warning light requires you to stop immediately, as soon as traffic conditions allow.
Possible messages
The table below shows the possible messages related to the tyre resetting procedure.
Steps | Messages | Meanings |
|---|---|---|
- | Tyre pressure init. at stop | The message is displayed during driving. If you want to reset the pressure of the four tyres, stop the vehicle. |
1 | Tyre pressure init. long press | To start resetting the pressure of all four tyres, with the vehicle stationary press and hold the "OK" switch until the "If pressure OK [hold on]" message is displayed. |
2 | If pressure OK [hold on] | The message flashes: the system has acknowledged the resetting request. If the pressure of all four tyres has been correctly adjusted to the recommended values on the tyre pressure label Tyre pressure, press and hold the "OK" switch until the "Operation completed" message appears. |
3 | Operation completed | The resetting procedure has been completed successfully. You can now drive. |
Readjustment of tyre pressures
The pressure of the four tyres must be set when cold (refer to the label located on the edge of the driver's door).
If tyre pressures cannot be checked when the tyres are cold, the recommended pressures should be increased by 0.2 to 0.3 bar (3 PSI).
Never deflate a hot tyre.
After each reinflation or readjustment of the tyre pressure, launch the resetting of the tyre pressure reference value.
Replacing wheels/tyres
Only use equipment approved by the network.
Otherwise the system may come into action late or not function correctly Tyres.
After each change of wheel/tyre, readjust the tyre pressure and launch the reset of the tyre pressure reference value.
Tyre repair product and inflation kit
Only use equipment approved by the network.
Otherwise the system may come into action late or not function correctly Tyre inflation kit.
After using the tyre inflation kit, readjust the tyre pressure and launch the resetting of the tyre pressure reference value.
Tyre inflation anomalies
The table below lists the warning messages which appear on the instrument panel when the system detects a tyre pressure fault.
The information on the instrument panel signals any potential inflation anomalies (deflated or punctured wheel, etc.).
Warning lights | Messages | Meanings |
|---|---|---|
| Inflate tyres and init. | This indicates that tyre under-inflation or puncture has been detected. Check and adjust the pressure of the four tyres when cold and reset the system. |
| Check tyre press and init. | This indicates that the reset is unsuccessful. Check and readjust the tyre pressure before restarting the resetting procedure. |
| Check TPW | This indicates a system fault. Consult an Approved Dealer. |
| TPW not available | This indicates that an emergency spare wheel different in size to the other four wheels has been fitted to the vehicle. The system remains unavailable until a wheel identical in size to the other wheels has been fitted and the resetting procedure has been carried out. |
