WARNING
The tyre replacement indicator is not a substitute
for regular tyre checks, including tyre pressure
checks. See “Wheels and tyres” in the “8. Main-
tenance and do-it-yourself” section. Many factors
including tyre inflation, alignment, driving habits
and road conditions affect tyre wear and when
tyres should be replaced. Setting the tyre re-
placement indicator for a certain driving distance
does not mean your tyres will last that long. Use
the tyre replacement indicator as a guide only
and always perform regular tyre checks. Failure
to perform regular tyre checks, including tyre
pressure checks could result in tyre failure. Seri-
ous vehicle damage could occur and may lead to
a collision, which could result in serious personal
injury or death.
3. Other indicator:
This indicator appears when the customer set time
comes for replacing items other than the engine oil,
fuel filter and tyres. You can set or reset the dis-
tance for replacing the items.

TPMS (see “Tyre Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS)” in the “5. Starting and driving” section).
•[Target front]
•[Target rear]
•[Tyre pressure unit]
•[Calibrate]
[Target front]:
The [target front] tyre pressure is the pressure speci-
fied for the front tyres on the tyre placard (see “Tyre
placard” in the “9. Technical information” section
and “Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)” in
the “5. Starting and driving” section).

Instruments and controls2-19

[Calibrate]:
The tyre pressure is affected by the temperature of
the tyre; the tyre temperature increases when the
vehicle is driven. The TPMS system uses tempera-
ture sensors in the tyres to compensate for changes
in temperature in order to prevent false TPMS warn-
ings.
The [CALIBRATE] function resets the previously
stored temperature value. It is recommended that
this function is performed after the tyre pressures
are adjusted.
See “Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)” in
the “5. Starting and driving” section
Use the
orand the ENTER buttons to start or
cancel the calibration process. While the calibration
process is active, the message: [Resetting tyre pres-
sure system] will be displayed.
