STARTING AND DRIVING
TIRE PRESSURE WARNING
SYSTEM
The tire pressure warning system is designed to provide
warning when tire inflation pressure is critically low while
the vehicle is moving. The low tire pressure warning light
comes on to inform you that such low tire pressure may
hamper driving.
This system is not designed to operate when the vehicle is
stopped. Therefore, check the tire inflation pressure regularly.
The recommended cold tire inflation pressure, tire size and the
vehicle capacity weight are on the tire and loading information
label. (For instructions, see "Checking tire inflation pressure"
on page 570.)
Installed tires should be of the specified size. They should be
of the same size and construction. If tires other than the
specified size are used, or if tires of different sizes or
constructions are mixed, the tire pressure warning system will
not function properly.
