Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems, TPMS
Orange’s Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems (Orange TPMS) improves safety while driving. Once installed in your
vehicle, the system will automatically monitor your tires in real-time for pressure and temperature. When any tire’s
pressure and/or temperature appear abnormal, the system will, in real-time, transmit signals to active an alarm
and show a digital figure to warn the driver of a problem. The system aids safety, can extend the tire life and help
reduce fuel consumption.

System Scope of Use and Warnings
Tire Pressure Monitoring System, TPMS
This system is a sensing device designed to measure and display tire operation and / or activate an alert to the
driver when pressure and temperature irregularities are detected. It is the responsibility of the driver to react
promptly and with discretion to alerts. Abnormal tire inflation pressure should be corrected at the earliest
opportunity.
Caution: the system is wireless RF product; therefore, it may not receive a signal due to the poor environment or
incorrect operating or incorrect installation. When the system continually cannot receive any signal from any tire
sensor more than 10 minutes since the system be switch on power for monitoring, the system will shown “ ” and
turn on the RED abnormal tire LED light and alert sound. In this case, it may cause by a RF interference
environment, a driver need to drive the vehicle and leave this place. If the display still cannot receive any correct
signal from tire sensor, then, a driver need to find a nearby qualified tire maintain service for checking and
maintain. It may cause by a tire sensor damages or battery power consumption. (Battery in normal condition can
be used more than 8 year, but in abnormal condition, the tire sensor will continually send warning signal for driver,
thus it wills consumption the battery quickly than normal prediction.)
System Installation and Usage
Use of the TPMS requires that qualified personnel according to the instructions here have properly installed it. This
system is suitable for use on a passenger car, SUV and 4
81 Psi (Guage) or 96psi (Absoulte), below instruction is Guage value mentioned.
Reacting to Alerts
When an alert or warning is received, reduce vehicle’s speed and proceed to a safe location to stop where the tire
can be inspected and /or serviced.
The low-pressure alert indicates that the air pressure has dropped to a selected minimum and a high-temperature
alert indicates that the temperature of the tire content has surpassed the threshold value set.
Use of Chemicals
