To reset (calibrate) the system:
1. Turn the ignition switch to RUN.
2. Press the GAGES button on the DIC until TIRE
PRESSURE appears on the display.
3. Press and hold the DIC RESET button for about
five seconds. After five seconds, the display will
show TIRE PRESSURE RESET. If TIRE
PRESSURE RESET does not appear on the display
after about five seconds, see your dealer for service.
After you release the DIC RESET button, TIRE
PRESSURE NORMAL will appear on the display.
The system completes the calibration process during
driving. During the first 10 to 20 miles (15 to 30
k m )
of
driving, the system will not alert you if a tire is high or
low. After 20 to 80 miles (30 to 125 km), the system
will only alert you about pressure differences of 12 psi
(85 kPa) or more. After about 80 miles (125
k m )
of
driving, the system will alert you if one tire is 10 psi
(69
kPa) different from the other three tires.
Tire Inspection and Rotation
Tires should be rotated every 6,000 to 8,000 miles
(10 000 to 13 000
km). Any time you notice unusual wear,
rotate your tires as soon as possible and check wheel
alignment. Also check for damaged tires or wheels. See
"When It's Time for New Tires" and "Wheel
Replacement'' later in this section for more information.
The purpose of regular rotation is to achieve more uniform
wear for
all
tires on the vehicle. The fist rotation is the
most important. See "Scheduled Maintenance Services" in
the Index for scheduled rotation intervals.
