Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (Tpms) - Honda HR-V 2018 Manual

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 and a message to appear on the multi-information display
■
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.

Make sure:
• The vehicle is at a complete stop.
• The shift lever is in P .
(
• The power mode is in ON.

uuWhen DrivinguTyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
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/TPMS indicator will not come
on as a result of over inflation.
The TPMS may not function properly if tyre types and
sizes are mixed.
Make sure to use the same size and type of tyre.
2 Checking and Maintaining Tyres P. 543
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.
•
Snow chains are used.
