Installing tire pressure warning
valves and transmitters
When replacing tires or wheels, tire
pressure warning valves and transmit-
ters must also be installed.
When new tire pressure warning valves
and transmitters are installed, new ID
codes must be registered in the tire pres-
sure warning computer and the tire pres-
sure warning system must be initialized.
(P.352)
When replacing the tires and wheels
■
If the ID code of the tire pressure warning
valve and transmitter is not registered, the
tire pressure warning system will not work
properly. After driving for about 20 min-
utes, the tire pressure warning light blinks
for 1 minute and stays on to indicate a sys-
tem malfunction.
