Programming the tire data (wheel electronics)

NOTE: TECHNICAL INFORMATION 
After replacing a tire or wheel electronics, the wheel electronics must be reprogrammed for the tire! 
If the programmable wheel electronics are depressurized (tires removed) longer than 2 min, then the tire data set written on the wheel electronics is deleted.
The programmable wheel electronics must be reprogrammed with the tire data set from the QR code on the tire sidewall using the special tool (RDC Tool).
New: If no QR code is available on the tire, the tire data must be programmed manually using the special tool (RDC Tool) (see flowchart). 
The exact procedure must be taken from the operating instructions for the special tool (RDC Tool).
