Tire Pressure Monitoring System

         Tire Pressure Monitoring System 

Initialization

    In  the  following  cases,  system 

initialization must be performed so that the 

system operates normally.

y

 A tire pressure is adjusted.

y

 Tire rotation is performed.

y

 A tire or wheel is replaced.

y

 The battery is replaced or completely 

drained.

y

 The tire pressure monitoring system 

warning light is illuminated.

Initialization method

   1.   Park the car in a safe place and 

¿

 rmly 

apply the parking brake.

2.  Let the tires cool, then adjust the tire 

pressure of all four (4) tires to the 

speci

¿

 ed pressure indicated on the tire 

pressure label located on the driver's 

door  frame  (door  open).    

    Refer  to  Tires  on  page   9-8 .

   3.   Switch  the  ignition  ON.

4.  Press and hold the tire pressure 

monitoring system set switch and 

verify that the tire pressure monitoring 

system warning light in the instrument 

cluster 

À

 ashes twice and a beep sound 

is  heard  once.    

CAUTION

  If the system initialization is performed 
without adjusting the tire pressure, 
the system cannot detect the normal 
tire pressure and it may not illuminate 
the tire pressure monitoring system 
warning light even if a tire pressure is 
low, or it may illuminate the light even 
if the pressures are normal.
  Adjust the tire pressure on all four 
tires and initialize the system when 
the warning light is turned on. If the 
warning light turns on for a reason 
other than a fl at tire, the tire pressure 
of all four tires may have decreased 
naturally.
  The system initialization will not be 
performed if the switch is pressed while 
the vehicle is being driven.
