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 side doorjamb.
u Calibrate the TPMS after the tire pressure is adjusted.
■
What to do when the indicator blinks, then remains on

spare tire * causes the indicator to blink, change the tire to a full-size tire.
