The tire pressure warning light may
■
come on due to natural causes
The tire pressure warning light may
come on due to natural causes such as
natural air leaks and tire inflation pres-
sure changes caused by temperature. In
this case, adjusting the tire inflation
pressure will turn off the warning light
(after a few minutes).
When a tire is replaced with a com-
■
pact spare tire
The compact spare tire is not equipped
with a tire pressure warning valve and
transmitter. If a tire goes flat, the tire
pressure warning light will not turn off
even though the flat tire has been
replaced with the spare tire. Replace the
spare tire with the standard tire and
adjust the tire inflation pressure. The tire
pressure warning light will go off after a
few minutes.
