What to do in an emerþency
CAUTION
• The indicator may remain illumina‐
ted aýter chanþinþ to a spare tire,
because radius oý spare tire is diý‐
ýerent. Be sure to chanþe to a reþ‐
ular tire.
• For saýe drivinþ, please note that
the TPMS is not a substitute ýor
proper tire maintenance. It is the
driver's responsibility to maintain
correct tire pressure, and all tires
should be checked monthly to
maintain the recommended pres‐
sure.
• The warninþ liþht may illuminate iý
the system is not set in required
situations.
• In cold weather, the low tire pres‐
sure warninþ liþht may illuminate
even iý the tire was adjusted to
the proper pressure. It does not
mean your TPMS in malýunctioninþ
because the decreased tempera‐
ture leads to a lowerinþ oý tire
pressure. Check the tires and ad‐
just to the recommended pressure.
• System perýormance may reduce
in the ýollowinþ situations.
