Maintenance and care
Initializing the tire pressure warning system
nThe tire pressure warning system must be initialized in the fol
lowing circumstances:
lWhen rotating the tires on vehicles differing with front and rear
tire inflation pressures.
lWhen changing the tire inflation pressure by changing traveling
speed or load weight, etc.
lWhen changing the tire size.
When the tire pressure warning system is initialized, the current
tire inflation pressure is set as the pressure benchmark.
