Tire Inspection and Rotation- Page 294

To reset (calibrate) the system:

1. Turn the ignition to RUN.

2. Locate the red RESET button inside of your

instrument panel fuse block.

The fuse block is located under the cover labeled
FUSES, which is at the end of the instrument panel on
the passenger’s side of the vehicle. The RESET button
is the first button in the top row of the fuse block.

3. Press and hold the RESET button for about

five seconds.

The LOW TIRE light will come on and flash three
times. Then it will go off. If the light doesn’t go off,
see your dealer for service.

The system completes the calibration process during driving.

The system normally takes 15 to 20 minutes of driving in
each of three speed ranges to “learn” tire pressures. The
speed ranges are 15 to 40 mph (25 to 65 km/h), 40 to 
65 mph (65 to 105 km/h) and above 65 mph (105 km/h).
When learning is complete, the system will alert you after
two to eight minutes if a tire is 12 psi (83 kPa) different
from the other three tires. Detection thresholds may be
higher and detection times may be longer on rough roads,
curves and at high speeds. The system is not capable of
detection at speeds greater than 70 mph (110 km/h).

Tire Inspection and Rotation

Tires should be rotated every 6,000 to 8,000 miles 
(10 000 to 13 000 km). Any time you notice unusual 
wear, rotate your tires as soon as possible and check 
wheel alignment. Also check for damaged tires or wheels.
See “When It’s Time for New Tires” and “Wheel
Replacement” later in this section for more information.

The purpose of regular rotation is to achieve more
uniform wear for all tires on the vehicle. The first
rotation is the most important. See “Scheduled
Maintenance Services” in the Index for scheduled
rotation intervals.

When rotating your tires, always use the correct rotation
pattern shown here.
