FOB TRAINING: This option allows you to match the
RFA transmitter(s) to your vehicle. You can access this
option by pressing and holding RESET for two seconds
while you are on the blank page at the end
of the
OPTIONS menu. The message
FOB TRAINING will be

Vehicle” in the Index.
TIRE TRAINING: The Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM)
operates with battery-powered sensors that
are located
inside the valve stems on each tire. Each sensor has a
unique ID code
so the vehicle knows the tire location of
the sensor. When the vehicle reaches a speed
of greater
than
15 mph (24 km/h), the sensors begin to send the
tire pressure readings to a receiver inside the vehicle.
These readings are displayed when using the GAGES
button on the DIC. If you
are unable to display your tire
pressures while the vehicle speed is greater than
15 mph
(24
km/h), you may need to have your sensor ID codes
learned by the vehicle. See your dealer.
