• The calibration pr ocess finishes
automatically.
1 Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
The Vehicle Stability Assist ® (VSA ®) system, Vehicle
Stability Assist ® (VSA ®) OFF, adaptive cruise control
(ACC) with low speed follow (LSF), safety support,
and low tire pressure/TPM S indicators may come on
in amber along with a message in the driver
information interface when you set the power mode
to ON after re-connect ing a 12-volt battery.
Drive a short distance at mo re than 12 mph (20 km/h).
Each indicator should go off. If any do not, have your
vehicle checked by a dealer.
1 TPMS Calibration
•The calibration process requires approximately 30
minutes of cumulative dr iving at speeds between
30-60 mph (48-97 km/h).
•During this period, if the power mode is set to ON
and the vehicle is not moved within 45 seconds,
you may notice the low ti re pressure indicator
comes on briefly. This is normal and indicates that
the calibration process is not yet complete.
If the snow chains are installed, remove them before
calibrating the TPMS.
If the low tire pressure/TPMS indicator comes on even
when the properly inflated specified regular tires are
installed, have your vehi cle checked by a dealer.
We recommend that the tires be replaced with the
same brand, model, and size as the originals. Ask a
dealer for details.
