Tire Pressure Monitoring System (Tpms) - Honda CR-V 2018 Owner's Manual

HANDLING THE UNEXPECTED

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

Monitors the tire pressure while you are driving.
If your vehicle's tire pressure becomes significantly low, the low tire pressure indicator
comes on.
n What to Do
Stop your vehicle in a safe place. Check the tire pressure and adjust the pressure to
the specified level. The specified tire pressure is on a label on the driver's doorjamb.
NOTICE
Driving on an extremely underinflated tire can cause it to overheat. An overheated
tire can fail. Always inflate your tires to the specified pressure.
TPMS Calibration
n
Any time you inflate, change, or rotate one of more of the tires, you need to
recalibrate the system.
Models with information display
Press and hold the TPMS button until the low tire
pressure indicator blinks twice, indicating the
calibration process has begun.
Models with Display Audio
Touch items on the screen to make and enter selections.
1. From the HOME screen, select Settings.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) — Required Federal Explanation
U.S. models only
Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly when
cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle
manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label.
(If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size indicated on the
vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you should determine the
proper tire inflation pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with
a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) that illuminates a low
tire pressure telltale when one or more of your tires is significantly
under-inflated.
Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you should stop
and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper
pressure.
Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and
can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire
tread life, and may affect the vehicle's handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance,
and it is the driver's responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if
under-inflation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS
low tire pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to
indicate when the system is not operating properly. The TPMS malfunction
indicator is combined with the low tire pressure telltale. When the system
detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for approximately one minute
and then remain continuously illuminated. This sequence will continue upon
subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction exists.
When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not be able to
detect or signal low tire pressure as intended.
TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, including the
installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that
prevent the TPMS from functioning properly.
Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one or more
tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alternate
tires and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function properly.
