NOTE
Because this system detects slight changes in tyre conditions, the timing of the warning
may be faster or slower in the following cases:
l
The size, manufacturer, or the type of tyres is different from the specification.
l
The size, manufacturer, or the type of a tyre is different from the others, or the level of
tyre wear is excessively different between them.
l
A run-flat tyre, studless tyre, snow tyre, or tyre chains are used.
l
An emergency tyre is used (The tyre pressure monitoring system warning light may
flash and then continue illuminating).
l
A tyre is repaired using the emergency flat tyre repair kit.
l
The tyre pressure is excessively higher than the specified pressure, or the tyre pressure
is suddenly lowered for some reason such as a tyre burst during driving.
l
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.
l
The vehicle is driven on an extremely rough road or a slippery, icy road.
l
Hard steering and rapid acceleration/deceleration are repeated such as during
aggressive driving on a winding road.
l
Load on the vehicle is applied to a tyre such as by loading heavy luggage to one side
of the vehicle.
l
System initialization has not been implemented with the specified tyre pressure.
qTyre Pressure Monitoring System
Initialization
In the following cases, system
initialization must be performed so that
the system operates norm ally.
l
A tyre pressure is adjusted.
l
Tyre rotation is performed.
l
A tyre or wheel is replaced.
l
The battery is replaced or completely
drained.
l
The tyre 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 tyres cool, then adjust the tyre
pressure of all four (4) tyres to the
specified pressure indicated on the tyre
pressure label located on the door jamb
of the driver's door (door open). Refer
to Tyres on page 9-10.
3. Switch the ignition ON.
