TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)
For your safety, the CX\f3 is
equipped with TPMS that detects low tire pressure in one or more
tires. If the tire pressure starts
getting low in one or more tires, the system alerts the driver by
turning on a light in the instrument
cluster (p. 40\f41) and sounding an
alarm.
WHAT TO DO? Don’t ignore the TPM\f warning light. \ftop and check
your tire pressure (when tires are cold) and inflate the tires to the proper pressure. Properly inflated tires are safer, last longer, and increase fuel economy.
In the following cases, the TPMS must be “initialized” so the system
can operate normally.
• The tire pressure is adjusted (up or down) in one or more tires.
• A tire rotation is performed.
• Any tire or wheel is replaced.
•
The vehicle’s battery is disconnected, replaced or completely dead.
INITIALIZATION PROCESS
(TPMS WARNING LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED)
1 Park the vehicle in a safe place and firmly apply \.the parking brake.
2
Let the tires cool, then adjust the tire pressure to the specified
pressure (see tire label located on the driver’s side door jamb a\.rea)
on all four tires.
3 \fwitch the ignition ON\., but leave the vehicle parked.
4
Push and hold the \.TPM\f “\fet \fwitch" (left side of dash) until the
TPM\f warning light in the instrument cluster flashes twice and a beep sound is heard once.
NOTE: Drastic changes in temperature or altitude can affect the air
pressure in the tires and may cause the TPM\f warning light to turn on.
Verify the tire pressures when driving thr\.ough extreme temperature or altitude changes.

CAUTION:
If the TPM\f “\fet
\fwitch” is pushed
without adjusting the tire pressure,
the system
cannot detect the normal tire
pressure. The
TPM\f warning light may not turn
on, even if the tire pressure is low, or it may turn on if
the tire pressure is normal.
