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 fi rmly 

apply the parking brake.

   2.   Let the tires cool, then adjust the tire 

pressure of all four (4) tires to the 
specifi ed pressure indicated on the tire 
pressure label located on the door jamb 
of the driver's door (door open).

Refer to Tires on page  9-10 .

   3.   Switch  the  ignition  ON.
   4.   While the vehicle is parked, press 

and hold the tire pressure monitoring 
system set switch and verify that 
the tire pressure monitoring system 
warning light in the instrument cluster 
fl 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.
  The system initialization will not be 
performed if the switch is pressed while 
the vehicle is being driven.
