³ This maintenance is not required if previously replaced.
LLAlthough not required, the manufacturer recom-
mends reprogramming TPMS after rotating tires so sys-
tem can relearn tire pressure sensor location. For more
information refer to Tire Pressure Monitor System
(TPMS) in Section 5 of this manual.
Inspection and service should also be performed anytime
a malfunction is observed or suspected. Retain all re-
ceipts.
WARNING!
You can be badly injured working on or around a
motor vehicle. Do only the service work for which you
have the knowledge and the right equipment. If you
have any doubt about your ability to perform a service
job, take your vehicle to a competent mechanic.
