Replacing Tires And Wheels

Note:
When replacing/repairing the tires or
wheels or both, have the work done by
your authorized dealer, or the tire
pressure sensors may be damaged.
The wheels equipped on your
vehicle are specially designed for
installation of the tire pressure sensors.
Do not use non-genuine wheels,
otherwise it may not be possible to
install the tire pressure sensors.
Be sure to have the tire pressure
sensors installed whenever tires or
wheels are replaced.
When having a tire or wheel or both
replaced, the following types of tire
pressure sensor installations are
possible:
The tire pressure sensor is removed
from the old wheel and installed to the
new one.
The same tire pressure sensor is
used with the same wheel. Only the tire
is replaced.
A new tire pressure sensor is
installed to a new wheel.

Note:
The tire pressure sensor ID signal
code must be registered when a new
tire pressure sensor is purchased. For
purchase of a tire pressure sensor and
registration of the tire pressure sensor
ID signal code, consult your authorized
dealer.
When reinstalling a previously
removed tire pressure sensor to a
wheel, replace the grommet (seal
between valve body/sensor and wheel)
for the tire pressure sensor.
Caution!
The TPMS has been optimized for the
original equipment tires and wheels. TPMS
pressures and warning have been
established for the tire size equipped on
your vehicle. Undesirable system operation
or sensor damage may result when using
replacement equipment that is not of the
same size, type, and/or style. The TPM
sensor is not designed for use on
aftermarket wheels and may contribute to a
poor overall system performance or sensor
damage. Customers are encouraged to
use OEM wheels to assure proper TPM
feature operation.
Using aftermarket tire sealants may
cause the Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) sensor to become inoperable.
After using an aftermarket tire sealant it is
recommended that you take your vehicle to
your authorized dealer to have your sensor
function checked.
After inspecting or adjusting the tire
pressure always reinstall the valve stem
cap. This will prevent moisture and dirt
from entering the valve stem, which could
damage the TPMS sensor.
