Caution!
The TPMS has been optimized for the original equipment tires and wheels. TPMS pressures and warning have been established for the tire
size equipped on your vehicle. Undesirable system operation or sensor damage may result when using replacement equipment that is not of
the same size, type, and/or style. Aftermarket wheels can cause sensor damage. Using aftermarket tire sealants may cause the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS) sensor to become inoperable. After using an aftermarket tire sealant it is recommended that you take your vehicle
to your authorized dealer to have your sensor function checked.
Amber Warning Lights
Warning Light What It Means
Power Steering Malfunction Indicator Light
The light illuminates if the electric power steering has a malfunction. If the light illuminates, stop
the vehicle in a safe place and do not operate the steering wheel. There is no problem if the
light turns off after a while. Contact an authorized dealer if the light illuminates continuously.
Note:
If the indicator light illuminates, the power steering will not operate normally. If this happens,
the steering wheel can still be operated, however, the operation may feel heavy compared to
normal, or the steering wheel could vibrate when turning.
Repeatedly jerking the steering wheel left and right while the vehicle is stopped or moving
extremely slowly will cause the power steering system to go into protective mode which will
make the steering feel heavy, but this does not indicate a problem. If this occurs, park the
vehicle safely and wait several minutes for the system to return to normal.
