Tire Pressure Monitoring System; When Driving- Page 280



An emergency tire is used (The tire pressure monitoring system warning light may flash
and then continue illuminating).



A tire is repaired using the emergency flat tire repair kit.



The tire pressure is excessively higher than the specified pressure, or the tire pressure is
suddenly lowered for some reason such as a tire burst during driving.



The vehicle speed is lower than about 15 km/h (9.3 mph) (including when the vehicle is
stopped), or the drive period is shorter than 5 minutes.



The vehicle is driven on an extremely rough road or a slippery, icy road.



Hard steering and rapid acceleration/deceleration are repeated such as during aggressive
driving on a winding road.



Load on the vehicle is applied to a tire such as by loading heavy luggage to one side of
the vehicle.



System initialization has not been implemented with the specified tire pressure.

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.
