If you replace a flat tire with the spare ti re, the low tire pressure indicator comes on
while you are driving. After driving for a fe w miles (kilometers), the indicator will go
off and the TPMS indicator co mes on, but this is normal.
If you replace the tire with a specified re gular tire, the low tire pressure or TPMS
indicator will go off after a few miles (kilometers).
If you replace a flat tire with the spare tire, the low tire pressure/TPMS indicator
comes on while you are driving. After dr iving for a few miles (kilometers), the
indicator will start blinki ng for a short time and then stay on. "CHECK TPMS

If you replace the tire with a specified regular tire, the warning message on the
multi-information display and the TPMS indicator will go off after a few miles
(kilometers).
■TPMS and the Spare Tire1 TPMS and the Spare Tire
The system cannot monitor th e pressure of the spare
tire. Manually check the spare tire pressure to be sure
that it is correct.
Use TPMS specific wheels. Each is equipped with a
tire pressure sensor mounted inside the tire behind
the valve stem.
