warning system
The tire pressure warning system
■
must be initialized in the following
circumstances:
When the tire inflation pressure is
changed such as when changing
traveling speed or load weight.
When the tire inflation pressure is
changed such as when the tire size
is changed.
When rotating the tires.
After performing the transmitter ID
code registration procedure.
(P.389)
When the tire pressure warning system
is initialized, the current tire inflation

pressure of each tire is displayed on the
multi-information display.
Initialization may take longer than normal
to complete if the vehicle speed cannot be
maintained at approximately 25 mph (40
km/h) or more. If initialization cannot be
completed after driving for 1 hour or more,
