Tire Inspection and Rotation- Page 390

6-45

Don’t reset the check tire pressure system without first
correcting the cause of the problem and checking and
adjusting the pressure in all four tires. If you reset the
system when the tire pressures are incorrect, the check
tire pressure system will not work properly and may not
alert you when a tire is low or high.

To reset (calibrate) the system:

1. Place the vehicle in PARK (P) and remove your foot

from the brake pedal. The brake pedal should not be
depressed during this procedure.

2. Turn the ignition to ON with the engine off.

3. Press the MODE button until the DIC reads 

LOW TIRE PRESSURE HOLD SET TO RESET.

4. Press and hold the SET button until you hear a chime

and TIRE PRESSURE RESET is displayed.

You will hear three chimes and the LOW TIRE
PRESSURE message will go off and the DIC will return
to TIRE PRESSURE NORMAL. If the LOW TIRE
PRESSURE message comes back on, the check tire
pressure system has not reset. Repeat the procedure.

The system completes the calibration process during
driving. Calibration time can take 20 to 45 minutes,
depending on your driving habits. After the system 
has been calibrated, the system will alert the driver 
that a tire is low, up to a maximum speed 
of 65 mph (105 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. Make sure the spare tire is stored securely.
Push, pull, and then try to rotate or turn the tire. If it
moves, use the folding wrench to tighten the cable. See
“Storing a Flat or Spare Tire and Tools” in the Index.

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.
