following circumstances:
When rotating front and rear tires
which have different tire inflation
pressures.
When changing the tire size.
When the tire inflation pressure
is changed such as when chang-
ing traveling speed or load
weight.
When changing between two
registered wheel sets.
When the tire pressure warning
system is initialized , the current tire
inflation pressure is set as the
benchmark pressure.
■How to initialize the tire pres-
sure warning system
1 Park the vehicle in a safe place
and turn the engine switch off.
Initialization cannot be performed while the vehicle is moving.
2 Adjust the tire inflation pressure
to the specified co ld tire inflation
pressure level. ( P.573)

sure.
Also, make sure the tires are cold before carrying out initialization or tire
inflation pressure adjustment.
●If you have accidentally turned the
engine switch off during initialization, it
is not necessary to press the reset switch again as initialization will
restart automatically when the engine
switch is turned to ON the next time.
●If you accidentally press the reset
switch when initialization is not neces- sary, adjust the tire inflation pressure
