Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

Instead of directly measuring the pressure in each tyre, the TPMS on this vehicle
monitors and compares the rolling radius and rotational characteristics of each
wheel and tyre while you are driving to determine if one or more tyres are
significantly under-inflated. This will cause the low tyre pressure/TPMS indicator to
come on.
Monitors tyre revolutions while you are driving over 30 km/h. When there is a
change in tyre revolutions, the system detects a decrease in tyre pressure.
■
TPMS Calibration
You must start TPMS calibration every time you:
• Adjust the pressure in one or more tyres.
• Rotate the tyres.
• Replace one or more tyres.
Before calibrating the TPMS:
• Set the cold tyre pressure in all four tyres.
2 Checking Tyres P. 396
Make sure:
• The vehicle is at a complete stop.
• The shift lever is in ( P .
• The ignition switch is in ON

1Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
The system does not monitor the tyres when driving
at low speed.
Conditions such as low ambient temperature and
altitude change directly affect tyre pressure and can
trigger the low tyre pressure/TPMS indicator to come
on.
Tyre pressure checked and inflated in:
•
Warm weather can become under-inflated in
colder weather.
•
Cold weather can become over-inflated in warmer
weather.
The low tyre pressure indicator will not come on as a
result of over inflation.
The TPMS may not function properly if tyre type and
size are mixed.
Make sure to use the same size and type of tyre.
2 Checking and Maintaining Tyres P. 396
The low tyre pressure/TPMS indicator may come on
with a delay or may not come on at all when:
•
You rapidly accelerate, decelerate, or turn the
steering wheel.
•
You drive on snowy or slippery roads.
•
Snow chains are used.
The low tyre pressure/TPMS indicator may come on
under the following conditions:
•
A compact spare tyre is used.
•
There is a heavier and uneven load on the tyres,
such as when towing a trailer, than the condition at
calibration.
•
Snow chains are used.
