Maintenance and care
Do not fail to initialize the tire pressure
warning system after tire rotation.
■ When rotating the tires
Make sure that the engine switch is OFF. If
the tires are rotated while the engine switch
is in ON, the tire position information will
not be updated.
If this accidentally occurs, either turn the
engine switch to OFF and then to ON, or
initialize the system after checking that the
tire pressure is properly adjusted.
Your vehicle is equipped with a tire
pressure warning system that uses tire
pressure warning valves and transmit-
ters to detect low tire inflation pressure
before serious problems arise.
The tire pressure warning system of
this vehicle adopts a 2-type warning
system. (P.521)
Multi-information display
Center display
When “Adjust Pressure” is dis-
played on the multi-information dis-
play (Normal Warning)
A warning with the tire pressure warning
light and warning buzzer when there is an
unknown level of low tire pressure with the
appearance of the tire due to natural air
leakage as well as the pressure lowering
due to changes in the pressure according
to the outside temperature.
When “Immediately Check tire
when Safe” is displayed on the multi-
information display (Emergency
Warning)
A warning with the tire pressure warning
light and warning buzzer when there is a
known level of low tire pressure with the
appearance of the tire due to pressure
suddenly lowering.
However, the system may not be able to
detect sudden tire ruptures (bursting, etc.).
The tire pressure detected by the
tire pressure warning system can be
displayed on the center display.
(P.90)
■ Routine tire inflation pressure checks
The tire pressure warning system does not
replace routine tire inflation pressure
checks. Make sure to check tire inflation
pressure as part of your routine of daily
vehicle checks.
