Tire Pressure Monitoring System

 Tire Pressure Monitoring System 

Initialization

In the following cases, system 

initialization must be performed so that the 

system operates normally.



 A tire pressure is adjusted.



 Tire rotation is performed.



 A tire or wheel is replaced.



 The battery is replaced or completely 

drained.



 The tire pressure monitoring system 

warning light is illuminated.

Initialization method

1.  Park the car in a safe place and firmly 

apply the parking brake.

2.  Let the tires cool, then adjust the tire 

pressure of all four (4) tires to the 

specified pressure indicated on the tire 

pressure label located on the driver's 

door frame (door open).

  Refer to Tires on page 

9-10.

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 flashes 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 flat 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.
