operati
ng th
e vehicle
at
normal load
(up

Bear in mind that the tire pressure monitoring
system

can only
monitor the tire pressu res you have stored. The syste

does not
recognize the load condition of your vehicle
.
The effectiveness of the tire pressure monitoring
system
*
will be
impaired if you store normal load pressures but then operate the
vehicle at its maximum load
