Tire Inspection And Rotation - Buick 2004 Regal Owner's Manual

Detection thresholds may be higher and detection times
may be longer on rough roads, curves and at high
speeds. The system is not capable of inflation differences
at speeds greater than 70 mph (110 km/h).
The tire inflation monitor system will not alert you if the
pressure in more than one tire is low, if the system
is not properly calibrated, or if the vehicle is moving
faster than 70 mph (110 km/h).
The LOW TIRE light will stay on while the ignition is on,
until the system is reset
Do not reset the tire inflation monitor system without
first correcting the cause of the problem and checking
and adjusting the pressure in all four tires. If the
system is reset when the tire pressures are incorrect, it
will not function properly and may not alert you when
a tire is low.
Any time a tire's pressure is adjusted, the tires are
rotated, or one or more tires is repaired or replaced, the
tire inflation monitor system will need to be reset. The
system also needs to be reset when new tires are
purchased and if the vehicle's battery has been
disconnected.

To reset the system:
1. Turn the ignition to RUN.
2. Remove the passenger's side instrument panel
cover to get to the fuse block.
3. Press and hold the RESET button in the fuse block
for about five seconds.
4. The LOW TIRE light will come on and flash three
times. Then it will go off. If the light does not go
off, see your dealer for service.

Tire Inspection and Rotation

Tires should be rotated every 5,000 to 8,000 miles
(8 000 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 Is Time
for New Tires on page 5-72 and Wheel Replacement
on page 5-75 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
on page 6-4 for scheduled rotation intervals.
