Problems with tyrepressure monitoring

Hi All :-)

I have just recently exchanged my original summer tires (Bridgestone Runflat) with normal non-runflat Goodyear Ultragrip 8 tires (205/55/R16). After the service center completed the installation, I recalibrated/initialised the tire pressure in accordance with the instructions in the users manual. During this process, the car confirmed the calibration on the display. After receiving this confirmation message, I then drove the car for more than 10 km to be sure that the tire pressure calibration was completed.
To simulate a significant loss of tirepressure, I then reduced the pressure from 2.4Bar to 1.6Bar on each wheel, and drove another 10 km to let the car perform monitoring and eventually issue a low-pressure warning.
But after completing my test drive, I didn't get any low-pressure warnings from the display, and all 4 tires was still displayed with green colors on the display. -Does anyone know what could be causing this error?


Best regards
Thomas.
