To reset (calibrate) the system:

1. Turn the ignition switch to RUN.

2. Then press and hold the RESET button for about 

five seconds. The red RESET button is located inside
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. 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 2

-

8 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.
