If the tire pressure warning syst
em is not initialized properly
Vehicles without a tire inflat ion pressure display function
Initialization can be completed i n a few minutes. However, in the following
cases, the settings have not been record ed and the system will not oper-

blink 3 times.
●If, when the vehicle has been driven for about 20 minutes after perform-
ing initialization, the tire pre ssure warning light blinks for approximately

Vehicles with a tire inflation pressure display function
●In the following situations, init ialization may take longer than usual to be
completed or may not be possible. (Usually, the vehicle will ne ed to be
driven for approximately 10 to 30 minutes to complete initializ ation.)
If initialization is not complete after driving approximately 3 0 minutes,
continue driving for a while.
• If the vehicle is driven on an unpaved road, it may take longe r to com-

• If the vehicle is backed up while performing initialization, d ata col-
lected during initialization will be cleared and it will take l onger than
normal to complete.
• If the vehicle is driven in heavy traffic or another situation where other
vehicles are driven close by, i t may take time for the system to recog-
nize the tire pressure warning valve and transmitters of your v ehicle
over those of other vehicles.
If initialization is not complete after driving for approximate ly 1 hour,
park the vehicle in a safe place for approximately 20 minutes and then
drive the vehicle again.
●In the following situ ations, initialization will not be started or was not
completed properly and the system will not operate properly. Pe rform

Maintenance and care
■When registering ID codes (vehicles with a tire inflation pressure dis-
play function)
●Before performing ID code registration, make sure that no wheel s with
tire pressure warning valve and transmitters installed are near the vehi-
cle.
●Make sure to initialize the tire pressure warning system after registering
the ID codes. If the system is initialized before registering t he ID codes,
the initialized values will be invalid.
●As the tires will be war m when registration is completed, make sure to
allow the tires to cool befo re performing initialization.
■Canceling ID code registration ( vehicles with a tire inflation pressure
display function)
●To cancel ID code registration after it has been started, turn the engine
switch off before driving the vehicle.
If the vehicle is driven after ID code registration is started, to cancel reg-
istration, perform the ID code r egistration start procedure aga in and turn
the engine switch of f before driving.
●If ID code registration has been canceled, the tire pressure wa rning light
will blink for approximately 1 mi nute when the engine switch is turned to
the “ON” position (vehicles witho ut a smart key system) or IGNITION
ON mode (vehicles with a smart ke y system) and then illuminate. The
tire pressure warning system will be operational when the tire pressure
warning ligh t turns off.
●If the warning light does not turn off even after several minut es have
elapsed, ID code registration may not have been cancelled corre ctly. To
cancel registration, perform the ID code registration start procedure
again and then turn the engine switch off before driving.

is inside or near the vehicle, registration of the ID codes for the
installed wheels may not be possible.
If ID registration is not complete after driving for approximately 1 hour,
park the vehicle in a safe place for approximately 20 minutes and then
