Storing the TPMS reset tool
You should store the TPMS reset
tool in the provided pocket of the
owner guide case; however, before
storing it, you will need to remove
and discard the loose strip of
Velcro
(this is the piece of Velcro

with the adhesive protection film on
it); you will not need this portion of
the Velcro
strip for this vehicle
application. The other portion of the
Velcro
strip (soft portion) should
remain on the TPMS reset tool.
Note:Don’t discard just the
adhesive protector. Remove and
discard the whole Velcro
strip (see
illustration), this will ensure a good
fit of the tool in the pocket of the
owner guide.
Store the TPMS reset tool in the
pocket of your owner’s guide case
(as shown) for safe keeping.
When you are ready to use the TPMS reset tool, remove it from the
pocket by pushing up on the bottom of the pocket (pushing the tool out)
rather than reaching into the pocket and pulling it out.
If you find that the reset tool was not provided when delivered, has been
lost or no longer functions (the battery is not replaceable), please
contact your authorized dealer to obtain a replacement.
To verify that your TPMS reset tool is working, press and release the
button on the center of the TPMS tool. The red light should illuminate
