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 9-8.

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 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.
