and then remain continuously illuminated. This sequence will continue
upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction exists.
When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not be able
to detect or signal low tire pressure as intended.
TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, including the
installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that
prevent the TPMS from functioning properly.
Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one or more
tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alternate
tires and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function properly.

Fixing or Changing a Tire
If a tire goes flat while driving, grasp the steering wheel firmly and brake
gradually to reduce speed. Then stop in a safe place. Replace the flat tire with
the compact spare tire. Go to a dealer as soon as possible to have the full-size
tire repaired or replaced.
Vehicles with a compact spare tire:
1. Park the vehicle on firm, level, non-slippery surface and set the parking
brake.
2. Shift to Park (P).
3. Turn on the hazard warning lights and set the power mode to VEHICLE
OFF.
Getting Ready to Change the Tire
n
If the tire has a large cut or is otherwise severely damaged, you will need
to have the vehicle towed. If the tire only has a small puncture, from a nail
for instance (do not remove the nail), you can use the temporary tire repair
kit so that you can drive to the nearest service station for a more
permanent repair.
1. Park the vehicle on a firm, level and non-slippery surface, and apply the
parking brake.
2. Change the shift position to Park (P).
3. Turn the hazard warning lights and set the power mode to VEHICLE
OFF (LOCK).
