Owner's Manual Instruction Manual

Additional information:
The TPMS does not monitor the tire
pressure of the spare tire.
The TPMS will activate only when the vehicle
is driven at speeds above 16 MPH (25
km/h). Also, this system may not detect a
sudden drop in tire pressure (for example a
flat tire while driving).
The low tire pressure warning light does not
automatically turn off when the tire pressure
is adjusted in all 4 tires. After the tire is
inflated to the recommended pressure, the
vehicle must be driven at speeds above 16
MPH (25 km/h) to activate the TPMS and
turn off the low tire pressure warning light.
Use a tire pressure gauge to check the tire
pressure.
The CHECK TIRE PRES (pressure) warn-
ing message is displayed in the odometer
when the low tire pressure warning light is
illuminated and low tire pressure is detected.
The CHECK TIRE PRES warning message
turns off when the low tire pressure warning
light turns off. Press the reset button for
more than 1 second to manually turn off the
CHECK TIRE PRES warning message. The
low tire pressure warning light remains illu-
minated until the tires are inflated to the
recommended COLD tire pressure. The
CHECK TIRE PRES warning message is
displayed each time the ignition switch is
placed in the ON position as long as the low
tire pressure warning light remains illumi-
nated. “Check tire pressure warning mes-
sage” in the “Instruments and controls” sec-
tion.
The CHECK TIRE PRES warning message
is not displayed if the low tire pressure warn-
ing light illuminates to indicate a TPMS mal-
function.
Tire pressure rises and falls depending on
the heat caused by the vehicle’s operation
and the outside temperature. Low outside
temperature can lower the temperature of
the air inside the tire which can cause a
lower tire inflation pressure. This may cause
the low tire pressure warning light to illumi-
nate. If the warning light illuminates in low
ambient temperature, check the tire pres-
sure for all 4 tires.
The Tire and Loading Information label (also
referred to as the vehicle placard or tire
inflation pressure label) is located in the
driver’s door opening.
You can also check the pressure of all tires
(except the spare tire) on the display screen.
The order of the tire pressure figures dis-
played on the screen does not correspond
with the actual order of the tire position. See
“Tire pressure information” in the “Heater, air
conditioner, audio and phone systems” sec-
tion.
For additional information, see “Low tire pressure
warning light” in the “Instruments and controls”
section, “Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS)” in the “In case of emergency” section.
