If the steering wheel becomes heavier than usual when operating, firmly
hold and operate it using more force than usual.

●Stop your vehicle in a safe place as soon as possible. Adjust the tire infla-
tion pressure immediately.

could lose control of the steering wheel or the brakes.

pressure warning system)
The tire pressure warning system may not activate immediately.
NOTICE

sure warning system may not operate properly.
