Tires And Wheels

Note: When inspecting or adjusting the
tire air pressures, do not apply
excessive force to the stem portion of
the wheel unit. The stem portion could
be damaged.

Changing Tires And Wheels

The following procedure allows the
TPMS to recognize a tire pressure
sensor's unique ID signal code
whenever tires or wheels are changed,
such as changing to and from winter
tires.
Note:
Each tire pressure sensor has a
unique ID signal code. The signal code
must be registered with the TPMS
before it can work. The easiest way to
do it is to have your Authorized Dealer
change your tire and complete ID
signal code registration.

When your Authorized Dealer
changes your vehicle's tires, they will
complete the tire pressure sensor ID
signal code registration.
If you or someone else changes tires,
you or someone else can also
undertake the steps for the TPMS to
complete the ID signal code
registration:
After tires have been changed, place
the ignition in the ON mode, then back
to ACC or OFF modes.
Wait for about 15 minutes.
After about 15 minutes, drive the
vehicle at a speed of at least 16 mph
(25 km/h) for 10 minutes and the tire
pressure sensor ID signal code will be
registered automatically.
Note: If the vehicle is driven within
about 15 minutes of changing tires, the
warning light will flash because the
sensor ID signal code would not have
been registered. If this happens, park
the vehicle for about 15 minutes, after
which the sensor ID signal code will
register upon driving the vehicle for
10 minutes.

Replacing Tires And Wheels

Note:
When replacing/repairing the tires or
wheels or both, have the work done by
your Authorized Dealer, or the tire
pressure sensors may be damaged.
The wheels equipped on your
vehicle are specially designed for
installation of the tire pressure sensors.
Do not use non-genuine wheels,
otherwise it may not be possible to
install the tire pressure sensors.
Be sure to have the tire pressure
sensors installed whenever tires or
wheels are replaced.
When having a tire or wheel or both
replaced, the following types of tire
pressure sensor installations are
possible:
The tire pressure sensor is removed
from the old wheel and installed to the
new one.
The same tire pressure sensor is
used with the same wheel. Only the tire
is replaced.
A new tire pressure sensor is
installed to a new wheel.
