Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS) Indicator
The indicator comes on and stays on
when there is a problem with the
Tire Pressure Monitoring System.
If this happens, the system will shut
off and no longer monitor tire
pressures. Have the system checked
by an Acura dealer as soon as
possible.
Changing the Tire with TPMS
If you have a flat tire, the Low Tire
Pressure and Tire monitor indicators
will come on. Replace the indicated
flat tire with the compact spare tire
(see page 231 ).
Each wheel is equipped with a tire
pressure sensor mounted inside the
tire behind the valve stem. You must
use TPMS specific wheels. It is
recommended that you always have
your tires serviced by your Acura
dealer or qualified technician.
After you replace the flat tire, the
Low Tire Pressure indicator will stay
on. This is normal; the system is not
monitoring the spare tire pressure.
Manually check the spare tire
pressure to be sure it is correct.
Never use a puncture-repairing agent
in a flat tire. If used, you will have to
replace the tire pressure sensor.
Have the flat tire repaired by an
Acura dealer as soon as possible.
