range as soon as learning completes in each individual speed range.
Speed ranges:
• Low 25–42 mph (40–68 km/h)
• Medium 42–62 mph (68–100 km/h)
• High – above 62 mph (100 km/h)
This system may not function properly under the following conditions:
• Uneven tread wear.
• Driving on loose or low traction surfaces such as gravel, snow or slush.
• Using tire chains
• Initial tire pressures out of specified range.
• Two or more under inflated tires.
• Sudden loss of tire pressure.
