Emergency situations
 If the low tire pressure indicator
turns on repeat step 3.
When resetting TPMS, the current
tire pressure is stored as a stan-
dard tire pressure.
CAUTION
• Without inflating the tires, if you
reset TPMS, the system may not
inform you properly even though
the
tires
are
under-inflated. You must check
the proper tire pressure before
resetting TPMS.
• The TPMS may not function
properly if you do not reset
TPMS although the TPMS needs
to be reset.
• If you push the TPMS reset but-
ton while driving, the TPMS
reset process is not activated.
You must push the TPMS reset
button while the vehicle is at a
complete stop.
• Tire pressure should be checked
and inflated while the tires are
cold.
A cold tire means the vehicle has
been sitting for 3 hours and driven
for less than 1.6 km (1 mile) in that
3 hour period.

Over-inflation or under-inflation
can reduce tire life, adversely
affect vehicle handling, and lead to
sudden tire failure that may cause
loss of vehicle control resulting in
an accident.
significantly
Each tire, including the spare (if pro-
vided), should be checked monthly
when cold and inflated to the inflation
pressure recommended by the vehi-
cle manufacturer on the vehicle plac-
ard or tire inflation pressure label. (If
your vehicle has tires of a different
size than the size indicated on the
vehicle placard or tire inflation pres-
sure label, you should determine the
proper tire inflation pressure for those
tires.)
As an added safety feature, your
vehicle has been equipped with a tire
pressure monitoring system (TPMS)
that illuminates a low tire pressure
telltale when one or more of your tires
is
Accordingly, when the low tire pres-
sure telltale illuminates, you should
stop and check your tires as soon as
possible, and inflate them to the prop-
er pressure. Driving on a significantly
under-inflated tire causes the tire to
overheat and can lead to tire failure.
Under-inflation also reduces fuel effi-
ciency and tire tread life, and may
affect the vehicle's handling and
stopping ability.
WARNING
significantly
under-inflated.
