General notes
In vehicles with a tire pressure monitor system,
the vehicle's wheels have sensors installed
which monitor the tire pressure in all four tires.
The tire pressure monitor warns you if the pres-
sure drops in one or more of the tires. The tire
pressure monitor only functions if the corre-
sponding sensors are installed on all wheels.
Tire pressure display (only on vehicles with steer-

If the tire pressure is too low, increase it to the
recommended value.
If the tire pressure is too high, release air by
pressing down the metal pin in the valve. Use
the tip of a pen, for example. Then, check the
tire pressure again using the tire pressure
gauge.
Screw the valve cap onto the valve.
