In Case of an Under-Inflated or Flat Tire

em2 dm 18.10

The eM2 is equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) which monitors tire pressure and temperature. For full information on the TPMS, see General Information : Instruments. The TPMS can be accessed on the infotainment panel in the vehicle.

The TPMS shows the tire pressure in pounds per square inch (psi) or bar units and color codes this information to communicate its severity level. See Fig..

Red status indicates that the tire pressure poses a threat to the control of the vehicle.

Amber status indicates a condition that may result in damage to the vehicle. Driving with under-inflated tires may permanently damage the tires and increases the likelihood of tire failure.

Pull off the road to a safe location as soon as possible if any tire displays as amber or red. Avoid any sudden steering maneuvers or abrupt braking.

If the TPMS issues a warning when all tires are properly inflated, have the vehicle checked at an authorized Freightliner facility.

Repair a flat tire as soon as possible.
