    Its not actually an active TPMS system (i.e. a sensor in each wheel) - its "passive TPMS"
    It detects the rolling diametre of the wheel and if its too far off, it'll start flashing its little light.

    Whenever you: get new tyres; get new rims; put the spare on; pump the tyres up; etc - you must reset the system so that it doesn't scare the hell out of you.

    Like it did with me at '110' kmh freeway speeds in the wet the other day!!
    I worries that they hadnt been fitted properly, or sprung a leak / blow out!!

    It was nothing.....
