Handling the Unexpected
If you replace a flat tire with the spare tire, the low tire pressure/TPMS indicator
comes on while you are driving. Afte r driving for a few miles (kilometers), Tire
Pressure Monitor Problem will appear on the multi-information display and the
indicator will start blinking for a short time a nd then stay on; however, this is normal
and is no cause for concern.
If you replace the tire with a specified regular tire, the warning message on the
multi-information display and the low tire pr essure/TPMS indicator will go off after
a few miles (kilometers).
■TPMS and the Compact Spare Tire1 TPMS and the Compact Spare Tire
The system cannot monitor th e pressure of the spare
tire. Manually check the spare tire pressure to be sure
that it is correct.
Use the TPMS specific wheels. Each is equipped with
a tire pressure sensor mount ed inside the tire behind
the tire valve stem.
