or wheel housings.
• If the tire inflation pressure is
extremely higher than the specified
level.
• If wheels without tire pressure warning
valves and transmitters are used.
• If the ID code on the tire pressure
warning valves and transmitters is not
registered in the tire pressure warning
computer.
• If the spare tire is in a location subject
to poor radio wave signal reception.
• If a large metallic object which can
interfere with signal reception is put
near the spare tire.
●
Performance may be affected in the
following situations.
• Near a TV tower, electric power plant,
gas station, radio station, large dis-
play, airport or other facility that gen-
erates strong radio waves or electrical
noise
• When carrying a portable radio, cellu-
lar phone, cordless phone or other
wireless communication device
• If tire position information is not cor-
rectly displayed due to the radio wave
conditions, the display may be cor-
rected by driving and changing the
radio wave conditions.
●
When the vehicle is parked, the time
taken for the warning to start or go off
could be extended.
●
When tire inflation pressure declines
rapidly for example when a tire has
burst, the warning may not function.

Warning performance of the tire
pressure warning system
The warning of the tire pressure warning
system will change in accordance with
the conditions under which it was initial-
ized. For this reason, the system may
give a warning even if the tire pressure
does not reach a low enough level, or if
the pressure is higher than the pressure
that was adjusted to when the system
was initialized.
Installing tire pressure warn-
ing valves and transmitters
(if equipped)
When replacing tires or wheels, tire
pressure warning valves and trans-
mitters must also be installed.
When new tire pressure warning
valves and transmitters are
installed, new ID codes must be
registered in the tire pressure warn-
ing computer and the tire pressure
warning system must be initialized.

When replacing the tires and
wheels
Except for Chile, Peru, El Salvador,
Costa Rica, Panama, Honduras, Nica-
ragua and Guatemala
If the ID code of the tire pressure warn-
ing valve and transmitter is not regis-
tered, the tire pressure warning system
will not work properly. After driving for
about 10 minutes, the tire pressure
warning light blinks for 1 minute and
stays on to indicate a system malfunc-
tion.
