Tpms Mode Setting - Subaru WRX-STI Owner's Manual

hicle is stationary. After adjusting
the tire pressures, increase the
vehicle speed to at least 40 km/h
(25 mph) to start the TPMS
rechecking of the tire inflation
pressures. If the tire pressures
are now above the severe low
pressure threshold, the low tire
pressure warning light should
turn off a few minutes later.
If this light still illuminates while
driving after adjusting the tire
pressure, a tire may have signifi-
cant damage and a fast leak that
causes the tire to lose air rapidly.
If you have a flat tire, replace it
with a spare tire as soon as
possible.
. When a spare tire is mounted or a
wheel rim is replaced without the
original pressure sensor/trans-
mitter being transferred, the low
tire pressure warning light will
illuminate steadily after blinking
for approximately one minute.
This indicates the TPMS is un-
able to monitor all four road
wheels. We recommend that you
contact your SUBARU dealer as
soon as possible for tire and
sensor replacement and/or sys-
tem resetting.

sealant, the tire pressure warning
valve and transmitter may not
operate properly. If a liquid sea-

SUBARU dealer or other qualified
service shop as soon as possi-
ble. Make sure to replace the tire
pressure warning valve and
transmitter when replacing the
tire. You may reuse the wheel if
there is no damage to it and if the
sealant residue is properly
cleaned off. If the light illumi-
nates steadily after blinking for
approximately one minute, we
recommend that you promptly
contact a SUBARU dealer to have
the system inspected.
CAUTION
Do not place metal film or any metal
parts in the trunk. This may cause
poor reception of the signals from
the tire pressure sensors, and the
tire pressure monitoring system will
not function properly.
