The PMS (Pressure Monitoring System) is a device that monitors tyre pressure to make sure it stays within the values recommended by the manufacturer. It measures the pressure in each tyre with sensors and, if it detects that the pressure is not right, it warns the driver with a light on the dashboard. Keeping the right pressure is essential for safety, fuel efficiency and tyre life.
