switch is turned to the “ON” position, the tire pressure
warning system is not working properly.
The system will be disabled in the following conditions:

properly.)
D If tires not equipped with tire pressure warning valves and
transmitters are used.

transmitters is not registered.

frequencies are nearby.

system may not work properly with some types of tires.
Pushing the tire pressure warning reset switch should not turn
off the tire pressure warning light.
