STEP 1
■After completing the tire change
The tire pressure warnin g system must be reset. ( P. 543)
■When using the spare tire
As the spare tire is not equipped with a tire pressure warning valve and
transmitter, low inflation pressure of the spare tire will not be indicated by
the tire pressure warning system. Also, if you replace the spare tire after
the tire pressure warning light comes on, the light remains on.
