    If the tyre pressure monitoring system indicator is flashing, your system is malfunctioning. Your replacement tyre might be incompatible with your tyre pressure monitoring system, or some component of the system may be damaged. WARNING! Tyres degrade over time depending on many factors such as weather, storage conditions, and conditions of use (load, speed, inflation pressure) the tyres experience throughout their lives.
  • Page 115 WARNING! Wheels and tyres must be the same size, load index and speed rating as those originally fitted on the vehicle. Use of any other tyre or wheel can affect the safety and performance of your vehicle. Additionally, the use of non-recommended tyres and wheels can cause steering, suspension, axle, transfer case or power transfer unit failure.
