To calibrate the system:
1. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
2. The CALIBRATE TIRE
PRESS
button is under the
instrument panel, to the right of the steering column.
Press and hold the button for about three seconds.
The CHECK TIRE PRFSS light will flash three
times and go out. If the light doesn't go out after you
press the CALIBRATE TIRE PRESS button, see
your dealer for service.
3. The system completes the calibration process during
driving. During the first 10 to 20 miles (15 to 30
km)
of driving, the system will not alert you if a tire is
low or high. After 20
to 80
miles (30 to 125
km),
the
system will only alert you about pressure differences
of 12 psi (85 kPa) or more. After 80 miles (125
km)
of driving, the system will alert you if a tire is 8 psi
(55 P a ) different from the other three tires.
Tire Inspection and Rotation
Tires should be rotated every 6,000 to 8,000 miles
(10 000 to 13 000 km). Any time you notice unusual
wear,
rotate your
tires as soon as possible and check
wheel alignment. Also check for damaged tires or
wheels. See "When It's Time for New Tires"
and
"Wheel Replacement" later in this section for
more information.
The purpose of regular rotation is to achieve more
uniform wear for all tires on the vehicle. The first
rotation is the most important. See "Scheduled
Maintenance Services" in the Index for scheduled
rotation intervals.
When rotating your tires, always use the correct rotation
pattern shown here.
Don't include the compact spare tire in your tire rotation.
