Tire pressure monitoring system 5-144 Features and controls
5
Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recom-mended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire
inflation pressure label.
(If your vehicle has tires of a different sizethan the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you should determine the proper ti
re inflation pressure
for those tires.) As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire pressure monitoringsystem (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale when
one or more of your
tires is significant
ly under-inflated.
Accordingly, when the low tire pressure tell- tale illuminates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflatethem to the proper pressure. Driving on a sig- nificantly under-inflated
tire causes the tire to
overheat and can lead
to tire failure.
Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehi-cle’s handling and stoppi
ng ability. Please
note that the TPMS is
not a substitute for
proper tire maintenance,
and it is the driver’s
responsibility to
maintain corre
ct tire pres-
sure, even if under-inflation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMSlow tire pressure telltale. Your vehicle has also
been equipped with a
TPMS malfunction indica
tor to indicate when
the system is not operating properly. The TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with the low tire pressure telltale.When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for approximately one min- ute and then remain c
ontinuously illuminated.
This sequence will c
ontinue upon subsequent
vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction exists.When the malfunction indicator is illumi- nated, the system may not
be able to detect or
signal low tire pr
essure as intended.
TPMS malfunctions may
occur for a variety
of reasons, including the installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on thevehicle that prevent the TPMS from function- ing properly. Always
check the TPMS mal-
function telltale after replacing one or moretires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alternate tires and wheels
allow the TPMS to continue to function prop- erly.

1. If the tire pressure monitoring systemwarning light illuminates, avoiding hard braking, sharp steering maneuvers and high speeds. You should stop and adjust the tires to the proper inflation pressure as soon as possible. Adjust the spare tire atthe same time. Refer to “Tires” on page 9-15.
NOTE
In addition, the warni
ng display is displayed
on the information screen in the multi-infor-mation display.
If the warning light / display illuminates while driving
NOTE
In addition, the warni
ng display is displayed
on the information screen in the multi-infor- mation display. When inspecting or adjusting the tire pres- sure, do not apply excessive force to the valve stem to
avoid breakage.
After inspecting or adjusting the tire pres- sure, always reinstall the valve cap on thevalve stem. Without the valve cap, di
rt or moisture could
get into the valve, resulting in damage to thetire inflation pressure sensor. Do not use metal valve caps, which may cause a metal reaction,
resulting in corrosion
and damage of the tire
inflation pressure sen-
sors.

In case that 2 sets of tire inflation pressure sensor ID are registered in the receiver, the valid tire ID set can be changed by following procedure. [For vehicles equipped
with color liquid crys-
tal display meter] 1. Operate the multi information display switch to switch the information screen to the menu screen.Refer to “Multi in
formation display
switch” on page 5-167. Refer to “Changing the function settings”on page 5-177. 2. Lightly press the multi information dis- play switch to select “ ” (tire ID set change).
3. Hold down the multi information display switch for about 3 seconds or more. Thesetting changes to the selected tire ID set. 4. The valid tire ID se
t is changed, and the
number of the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) SET in
dicator is changed.
[For vehicles equipped
with mono-color liq-
uid crystal display meter] 1. Transit the display by multi information display switch until th
e tire pressure mon-
itoring system (TPMS) SET indicator isdisplayed.
2. Hold down the multi information display switch for 10 seconds or more. (A beep isheard.) (Although the reset execution starts at holding down the switch for 3 seconds,keep holding down the switch continu- ously.) 3. The valid tire ID set is changed, and the number of the tire
pressure monitoring
system (TPMS) SET i
ndicator is changed.
CAUTIONThe use of non-genuine wheels will prevent the proper fit of the tire inflation pressuresensors, resulting air
leakage or damage of
the sensors.
Tire ID set change
NOTE
Each time this procedure is done, the tire ID set is changed. (1 - 2 - 1 - 2 …) only 1 set of ID is registered.
