comes on while you are driving. Afte r driving for a few miles (kilometers), Tire

indicator will start blinking for a short time and then stay on; however, this is normal
and is no cause for concern.
If you replace the tire with a full-size tire, the warning message on the multi-
information display and the low tire pressu re/TPMS indicator will go off after a few
miles (kilometers).
