CAUTION: If the vehicle is equipped with the Tire
Pressure Monitoring (TPM) System, the tire/wheel
assembly needs to be reinstalled in the same loca-
tion it is removed from or the TPM System (sen-
sors) will need to be retrained. Mark each tire/wheel
assembly indicating location, prior to its removal. If
the tire/wheel assemblies are switched, rotated or
replaced, the TPM System needs to be retrained
afterward. (Refer to 22 - TIRES/WHEELS/TIRE PRES-
