slowly 3 times.
“--” will be displayed for inflation
pressure of each tire on the multi-

pressure warning system determines
the position on the multi-information
display.
When position of each tire is determined, the inflation pressure of each tire will be
displayed on the multi-information display.
Drive the vehicle at approximately 25 mph (40 km/h) or more for approx-
imately 10 minutes.
When initialization is complete , the inflation pressure of each tire will be displayed

tire inflation pressure to the specified level when the tires are co ld, and conduct initial-
ization again.
●While the position of each tire is being de termined and the inflation pressures are not
