5. Bedryfsinstruksies

5.1 Algemene werking

The ATEQ VT15 is designed for straightforward operation. It typically features two buttons: one for power/activation (often labeled 'TX' for transmit) and another for power off or mode selection. The tool activates TPMS sensors by sending a low-frequency signal.

5.2 Vehicle Specific Procedures

Before activating TPMS sensors with the VT15, your vehicle's TPMS system must be put into 'learn mode'. The procedure for entering learn mode varies by vehicle make and model. Always consult your vehicle's owner's manual for precise instructions. Common methods include:

• Ignition key cycles.
• Pressing the brake pedal multiple times.
• Using dashboard controls or steering wheel buttons to navigate to a TPMS relearn menu.
• For some vehicles (e.g., certain Chevrolet models), a horn chirp will confirm entry into learn mode.

5.3 Activating TPMS Sensors

Once your vehicle is in TPMS learn mode, follow these steps to activate each sensor:

1. Ensure the VT15 tool is powered on by tapping its power button. An indicator light (e.g., 'TX' light) may illuminate.
2. Starting with the first tire in your vehicle's specified relearn sequence (e.g., Left Front), position the VT15 tool's antenna near the tire sidewall, close to the valve stem.
3. Press and hold (or tap, depending on the specific model's behavior) the activation button on the VT15.
4. Listen for a horn chirp from your vehicle or observe the vehicle's turn signals flash, indicating successful sensor activation and recognition.
5. Once confirmed, move to the next tire in the sequence (e.g., Right Front, Right Rear, Left Rear) and repeat steps 3-4.
6. After all four sensors have been successfully activated, your vehicle's TPMS system should exit learn mode, often confirmed by two horn chirps.

5.4 Resetting TPMS Light

The ATEQ VT15 facilitates the activation of TPMS sensors, allowing your vehicle's computer to learn their unique IDs. After all sensors are successfully activated and recognized by the vehicle, the TPMS warning light on your dashboard should reset automatically. If the light persists, ensure all steps were followed correctly and consider driving the vehicle for a short period (e.g., 10-15 minutes at speeds above 20 mph) to allow the system to complete its learning process. If the light remains on, refer to the Troubleshooting section or consult a professional.

6. Onderhoud

• Skoonmaak: Vee die toestel af met 'n sagte, droë lap. Moenie skuurmiddels of oplosmiddels gebruik nie.
• Berging: Store the VT15 in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Battery: Remove the 9-volt battery if the tool will not be used for an extended period (e.g., several months) to prevent potential battery leakage and damage to the device.
