Continuing to drive the vehicle while
ignoring the illumination/flashing of the
TPMS warning light is dangerous because a
tire may burst which could lead to an
accident. Take appropriate measures as
soon as possible.
NOTE
While the TPMS is learning the tire
positions, such as immediately after a tire
position has been changed, the tire
pressure at the tire position prior to it
being changed is displayed until the
system completes the learning. For this
reason, the tire pressures displayed for the
tire positions may be different from the
actual tire pressures at the tire positions.
Action to be taken
Adjust the tire pressu res to the appropriate
pressures.
